Nahi re...hear it carefully he didn't say that Sandip is a new friend.He said that "Sandip ne bohot pheley reminder diya tha so he came".Waise I read somewhere that he knew Sandip from Haq se days and so he knew Divyanka also who is a very close friend of Sandip.I think his mother's health is troubling him bcoz he told about needing Bappa's blessings.Waise toh on the work front he is having back to back work.After IW he has bagged another series...so I don't think his depressed face is due to work related.
@ bold felt the same. In all interviews he was in a rush to finish up. He said he is a new friend so he came to his place. May be he is collaborating with Sandeep on work front. Woh without makeup aya hain and talking about hope so many times. He is definitely going through a difficult phase in his personal life. Hope whatever it is gets resolved soon. Missing the normal KV.
