MUMBAI: When the news of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s break-up was first out, it left a million hearts broken and sadly, their common friends too were left on the cross road to choose sides. Much to Katrina’s dismay, most of their common friends decided to be with Ranbir, including filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, who is said to be one of Kapoor’s best and thickest pals in the industry. The moment Ranbir Katrina parted ways, Ayan completely distanced himself from Katrina and was not even on talking terms with her. However, things changed for better when Ayan and Kat recently met at Karan Johar’s party at his residence. If onlookers at the party are to be believed, both Ayan and Kat stood in a corner chatting with each other for a long time. They even looked very happy and comfortable in each other’s company and there was no visible awkwardness between them. We wonder if Ranbir’s absence at the party was the reason behind Ayan-Kat’s bonding. Interestingly, Ranbir, in his recent interview had sung praises for Katrina which she had decided to turn deaf ears to.
