<p>Talking to Filmfare, Nagris on her alleged link-up with Ranbir, said, "I don't think it's possible to keep in touch with people after your movie is over. See, you have your own set of friends. It's not like he was my childhood friend, who I'd run to for everything. But when I first came here, he was a good friend. He helped me adjust. Imtiaz (Ali) did too. But now they've gone, they're busy with their lives as I am with mine."</p>

<p>"Apparently, in a matter of a month, I was living in with two people. And someone even said that my mom came down to meet my live-in boyfriend. The truth is my mother has never been to India.

Being a friend means someone who has been there for you, someone whose shoulder you can cry on.
