They fought, they made up and they fought again and boy did the audience love the chemistry! Just like their characters were onscreen, bittersweet, they shared the same chemistry off screen! Yash had once famously said, "We are much like Tom and Jerry, fighting with each other in the same way that the audience gets to see us on screen."
