He has one of the best energies, great collaborator, he would help me in my scenes. I had a great time working with him. Whenever I meet him now, it is always like a tight hug.”He added, “Of course, life has moved on, but I remember meeting him at a Diwali party last year. We stood there for 15-20 minutes and we spoke and cracked a couple of jokes that we had cracked back in the day, so I had a nice time with him. I am really fond of him and I’m really happy for his success.”Also Read — ‘Nothing mattered anymore’: The ‘cursed mantra’ from Asha Bhosle’s brother that saved her after daughter’s tragic deathSpeaking about Dhurandhar’s success, Saqib said, “Dhurandhar’s numbers are just off the roof.
