In an almost unheard-of new friendship in B-Town, actors Rajkummar Rao and Ishaan Khatter made an appearance together on Neha Dhupia’s Colors Infinity chat show as BFFs and had a lot to say about each other.

Ishaan started off by quelling reports that he is dating his Dhadak co-star Janhvi Kapoor by saying, “I am in a relationship with coffee,” going on to reveal that he likes “girls who are honest, funny, real, relaxed, chilled out and passionate. I guess, I would like anyone to be that way. I look for the same qualities in a friend as well.” When prodded by Neha on the matter, Raj said with a chuckle, “Ishaan is a sensible boy. He can find his own perfect girl. He will, or maybe he already has.”

Incidentally, Raj is gearing up to work with Janhvi in Dinesh Vijan’s upcoming horror comedy, Rooh-Afza, which is expected to kick off in June in Uttar Pradesh. Ishaan had an important tip for Raj before he starts work with the actress. “He needs to be wary because she is obsessed with him. She is a keen learner. I think he must’ve already observed that about her and she genuinely is very fond of his work, as am I. Both of us once sat down and watched his scenes closely,” Ishaan said, finally throwing in the towel. “What tip can I give Raj, really? He’s been around and worked with different actors. He would know best. Perhaps he can give me some tips!”

Meanwhile, Raj spoke of the only time he “felt jealous” of the younger actor. It was when he got to work with the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi in his first film, Beyond The Clouds.
