Our latest Sunday Brunch is a special one as we celebrated Friendship Day with Bollywood besties Aparshakti Khurana and Sanya Malhotra. Hosting this pyaar bhara and masti bhari episode was our Editor-in-Chief Kamiya Jani who was in on the banters with her fellow curly-haired queen, Sanya. Over a delicious North Indian meal at Khao Piyo, the actors spoke about first hitting out on the sets of Dangal, their fitness routines and more.
Sunday Brunch With Besties Aparshakti Khurana & Sanya Malhotra
The episode kickstarted with Kamiya Jani raising the elephant in the room — Sanya and Aparshakti’s friendship. How did it begin? Sanya shared that the duo first met each other while preparing for Dangal at Aamir Khan’s old home. A Haryanvi workshop was the start of their friendship. Sanya had a very good impression of Apar. While the latter to date, admires his friend’s fit physique which she credits dance and wrestling scene preparations for Dangal.
Aparshakti even revealed that they were supposed to shoot for a film together before Dangal. Unaware of each other’s casting, the actors were preparing for their roles separately. While the film was abandoned, it brought about a great talking point. The only one to call Aparshakti, “Appa”, Sanya expressed her fondness for her friend’s infectious laughter. For Aparshakti, Sanya is “Sanu”.

So, over the course of the Sunday Brunch, Appa and Sanu let us in on their sweet, mischievous bond where they pulled each other’s legs, played a game of food pictionary with us, sang “Matcha hi Matcha”, an ode to the Kathal actress’s new matcha brand, Bree Matcha, and more. Over plates of Rajma, Chole Bhature, Matar Paneer, Kulche and Kofta Curry, the duo also revealed how they stay fit. There’s sports for Apar and gym for Sanya.
The banger episode also had the Bollywood besties playing a game of ‘This or That’; Aparshakti, playfully giving one of his two watches to Sanya; and the curly-haired celebrities bonding over being mistaken for each other in public. Since it was a Friendship Day episode, the Dangal actors also revealed their friendship red flags and a spicy anecdote about their first fight.
With the matcha queen in-house, Kamiya and Aparshakti even got a quick matcha workshop during the Sunday Brunch. Sanya Malhotra taught the duo to expertly make a quick cup of steaming hot, aromatic Bree Matcha. Amping on the vibes was Aparshakti, who sang a soulful melody of his newly released Lafzaan.
