He also stated that: “The sisters are very close and are quite similar in terms of their tastes and habits. Kareena and I bond over our traditions, family values and love for food. I recall when we did our very first shoot together in Jaipur, we were both scheduled to leave for home the very next day. Just before boarding, we both realised that we wanted to stay back for another day, relax and indulge in Rajasthani food. So we did. And that’s how we became friends from day one.”

He also shared that“Both countries are very similar culturally, but the unique point about the women in Pakistan is their classic, conservative approach, whereas, in India, the audience is more experimental and bold in their use of colour and cuts”.
