Speaking with Humans of Bombay, Balan stated, “Karan Johar has played Cupid in this relationship. He invited me to a party at his house, and I didn’t really know him, so I thought, ‘How sweet’. I didn’t really know most of the others, and I was a bit shy. And then, Siddharth walks in, and because we’d just watched the play together, we ended up having a chat. And that’s when something happened. Later, I got to know that Karan had wanted us to meet. This was an intentional invitation, and it worked.” ALSO READ: Karan Johar REVEALS He Played Cupid For Vidya Balan-Siddharth Roy Kapur; Filmmaker Says, ‘I Hosted Dinner For The Two’
