"He is indeed a very fun person to be around, once you get to know him, you will only have love and respect for him. People often ask me why I call him ‘bhai’ and my response to that is that he is one of the few people from whom I have learned countless things and still do, all I have is pure admiration for him. From laughing together between shots to rehearsing our scenes together, I cherish our bond a lot," shared Manit, who is known for his work in 'Ram Milaayi Jodi'.
