Mehul Raina and Saurav Soni met during their orientation at SRCC and their friendship clicked instantly! “We met for the first time during the orientation and felt like we were both feeling alienated and out of place. But then I peeped his ‘Stranger Things’ shirt and was like, ‘Okay, we’ve got a vibe.’ That was the icebreaker, and here we are, besties now. And yeah, we did the Bond pose right after because that’s how we see ourselves in college,” says Mehul.
