this common friend stopped Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's patch-up!

Not Deepika or Salman, this common friend stopped Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's patch-up!

Can you believe it? It wasn't any of the actors' exes but their closest common friend who did not allow the two to patch up.

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's break-up has had no great consequences. Many thought they would reunite back and that it was just a temporary quarrel. But no, it's been five months almost to their public split and the two have maintained distance from each other ever since. Katrina did try to go and talk to Ranbir and settle things but he did not budge from his stand.

Why? Now, we hear there was someone who came in between the two every time Kat wanted to go up and talk about a patch-up. No, it wasn't Katrina's ex Salman Khan or even Ranbir's ex Deepika Padukone but it was one of their closest common friends. Ayan Mukerji.

Yes, according to a report in Bollywoodlife.com, Ayan Mukerji was the reason why Ranbir and Katrina's much awaited patch-up did not happen. Even at Karan Johar's party when Katrina herself went straight up to Ranbir to talk about settling their issues and getting back together, Ayan pulled the strings. Reason? According to the portal, Ayan's next film is with Ranbir and he doesn't want this emotional turmoil to affect Ranbir and eventually his film in process.

Ayan and Ranbir have been closest buddies since Wake Up Sid but at numerous occasions, Ayan also expressed his fondness for Katrina. And now when it came to taking a stand, Ayan sided with Ranbir. Waah Ayan, kya dosti nibhai!
