This is not the first time they have been vocal about their friendship online. When Kapoor was getting married, Gupta displayed peak BFF behaviour and posted a beautiful photo of the bride accompanied by a long, heartfelt note about their friendship.
The duo also made headlines in 2017, when Gupta created the ‘Denim Sari’ for Kapoor, using old, recycled jeans. What else says #BFFGoals other than your friend creating an Internet-breaking look for you like its no big deal?

The fact that Ranbir Kapoor has been a part of director Ayan Mukerji’s entire filmography so far is proof enough that the two, at the very least, get along with each other! Mukerji has stated in interviews in the past that Kapoor is one of the most important people in his life, while Kapoor has stated that their friendship is one of the most important relationships in his life. The director has even trusted Kapoor with one of his most important projects Brahmastra, a movie on which he has been working for the past decade.

But soon enough, the two made up and are back to being BFFs, so all is well!
