“It was a big moment for Harsh. We went inside Ranbir’s van and I kept looking at Harsh to see his reaction. I turned to Ranbir and his face has more shine in his eyes than Harsh. He was looking at Harsh’s video with such joy.Ranbir’s character in the film Barfi! was similar to Harsh’s, a hearing impaired person who is full of life. Ranbir met him and it was a great moment for me,” says Basu.
