Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan made their acting debuts a year apart. While Ranbir`s debut film `Saawariya` failed to perform well at the box office, Imran Khan`s `Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na` went on to become a fan favourite and a classic. Ranbir was in awe of Imran`s performance and the success of the film and even called up the actor for a meeting. The duo appeared together on season 3 of Koffee With Karan where they spoke about the bond they share. 

Ranbir on Imran Khan`s debut

Talking about the first time he heard about Imran Khan and his debut film, Ranbir said, "When Imran`s `Jaane Tu...` had released, I remember I was in Ooty shooting for `Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani`. Post the premiere people were going gaga about this film and this boy. I was kind of eager and jealous as well. And I truly admire his work and I like the way he is, not just as an actor but even as a person he is very unaffected. He is not the typical filmy guy you meet, there is no facade. He is what he is and I think that is great I think that is a quality that will always remain and I don`t think that will change in him also."
