Vijay Varma starred alongside Kareena Kapoor in Sujoy Ghosh’s film ‘Jaane Jaan’, which also featured Jaideep Ahlawat. Now moving ahead, Vijay is set to share the screen with Kareena’s elder sister, actor Karisma Kapoor. The two would be seen together in Homi Adajania’s upcoming film ‘Murder Mubarak’, which is set to release on Netflix on March 15.
Sharing his experience working with the Kapoor sisters, the ‘Darlings’ actor mentioned that he has ‘one-sided love’ for Kareena, and has managed to form a good friendship with Karisma Kapoor during the shooting of ‘Murder Mubarak’.
Vijay told Siddharth Kannan in an interview, “People saw the affection I had for Kareena in the film Jaane Jaan. That’s a fatal attraction, one-sided love for Kareena. The kind of love where you admire the person from a distance. With Karisma, on the other hand, I got to hangout with her very closely and we became very good friends. There is a good friendship between us, a lot of love and I have been her fan.”

In fact, Kareena had once shared with Bollywood Hungama that her husband and actor Saif Ali Khan had warned her to be prepared before ‘Jaane Jaan’. She had mentioned, “Saif was like, ‘You need to be a little more prepared as they are going to be very well-prepared.'”
