I don't know what to say about him that would not sound mushy or patronising, but after my parents, he is one of the five most important people in my life. I had lots of good friends all my life, but no one whom I could have called my best friend. I know I have an edge with him that nobody else has and really feel kicked about the fact that no one can match what both of us can create with our friendship. It's almost like a teenage thing, but he is my best friend. I am not possessive about him and, in fact, am confident about our relationship as our connection is really tight. I can bank on Ranbir like I would do on my father. Firstly, I am slightly detached as a person, where there is an extent beyond which I am all about myself. For instance, I will always prioritise my work over personal relationships. I am ambitious and focused on self-actualisation. Ranbir is also that person and, therefore, he got that about me extremely well. I have never let down his expectations from me, even though all my other friends feel disappointed in me as a human being. Secondly, he gave me something which no one else gave me trust, both professionally and personally. I got attached to the way Ranbir looks at me. Before Ranbir, my friends never trusted me as I knew a lot of people. I think that in a quiet, silent way our relationship at a deep level is about how we can partner each other to move forward in life. For the real stuff, the trust, the brainstorming about life, the silent support required to get through harder moments are all in place and I get a lot of strength from him. I like to look at myself as quite self-respecting and would not ask anyone for anything, but if I need money, I know I will not hesitate even once to ask Ranbir for it. That's how I feel about him. He seeks affection from me and is my most favourite person in the world. I also accept him as the complete person he is. I have no angst with him and feel I understand and get him. Actually, we both get each other. He has an extremely evolved detachment about himself. I think it's a wonderful quality and I aspire towards it. I know for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, he is all over the place promoting it, but I also know that there is place within him that is extremely detached from the process. He knows that it is all just a part of life, a part of a game and a circus. He does not allow success or failure to touch a part of him.
