Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor doesn’t make friends easily. But when he warms up to someone, he pulls out all stops to extend a hand of friendship. The actor has now found another buddy in controversial singer-rapper Honey Singh, who is accused of writing vile lyrics which depict violence against women.
The two met in Delhi at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium ground during the shooting of film, Besharam to discuss the song that Honey would be singing for Ranbir in the film.
And within 15 minutes, the twosome was the talk of the entire crew.
“News travels fast! Yes, I’ve formed the most incredible friendship with Ranbir. I had gone to discuss our song for Besharam. We discovered many common interests,” said Honey.
Honey found Ranbir to be “as chilled out” as him.
“To be honest, I’ve been working closely with other Bollywood stars. I am a very open-hearted guy. But I find Bollywood actors to be extremely cagey,” he added. “I am a typical North Indian. They don’t open up that easily. With Ranbir, within minutes we were sharing confidential information. Obviously I am not going to tell you what we spoke about.”
Honey did let out that they both love fast cars.
“Ranbir and I own the same car with the same number [Audi RB Number 8]. We share a lot of common interests. In fact, I am taking him partying in Delhi next week,” he said. “To be honest, before meeting Ranbir, I was wary of star kids. I find they get everything too easily. But Ranbir is self-made, like me.”
