What Farah said about Abhishek

Farah was seen chatting with Remo and Abhishek about their film Be Happy, when she said, “Abhishek ne apko van ke around kabhi bhagaya (Did Abhishek make you chase him around)?” Abhishek interrupted and said, “Woh sirf apko bhagata hu! Bohut fit he ye (That I only do in your set to make you run. He is fit). You need the exercise!”

Farah added, “When we shot Happy New Year, ek hota hain na woh shaitaan bachcha? Sab khare hain ek bachcha nahi aa raha hain (There he was like that cunning child in the class, everyone was there except him). I am trying to catch him and he is running around the van and doing hide and seek!” Remo said that there was no running around but he definitely did have some ‘shaitaan bachcha’ vibe. Farah giggled and hugged Abhishek, saying, “That's why we love you!”
