Ranbir is a blind friend, Sonam Kapoor

Ranbir Kapoor is Sonam Kapoor's childhood friend. Though news of their brewing love relationship hit the gossip column many a times, they never cut off their friendship and always remained connected. While Ranbir joined hand with Deepika Padukone, Sonam took a new path and concentrated on her work.

She never made a hue and cry over the matter but has placed Ranbir in the top list of her friends. Sonam's Delhi 6 promo is on and looking at her charisma, Ranbir cannot stay away from complimenting her. He called her up and congratulated sonam for her acting.

"He loves them. He saw Masakali and called me up. Ranbir can't see anything wrong in what I do! He’s a blind friend", says Sonam. Papa Anil Kapoor also can't stop raving his daughter's simple look and he called up Rakeysh Mehra to congratulate him for the project.

Speaking about her father’s reaction, Sonam said, He was happy with them. He liked it not because it was my film, but because he felt that it would be a good venture. He felt Abhishek and I share a great onscreen chemistry.

On asking how much she gelled with Deepika, Sonam replied, "I didn't know Deepika too much. She started seeing Ranbir, who's one of my best friends. We started hanging out together in a group and that's when we started knowing each other."
