Arjun Kapoor Reveals Why He And Ranveer Singh Call Each Other ‘Baba’. Blame John Abraham!

The ‘Baba’ brigade of Bollywood is probably our favourite celeb bromance for days! Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor calling each other by this term of endearment always manages to crack their fans up!

None of us even remember or know how it all started, and when the Gunday duo began being referred to as ‘Baba and Baba’. But their countless appearances in talk shows like Koffee With Karan or movie promotions and social media PDA (bromance, remember?) has given us enough an overdose of their cute Baba-love!

And now, finally, we know how it all came to be! Whether you love it or hate it, you can go ahead and blame John Abraham for Ranveer and Arjun’s incessant usage of ‘Baba’ for each other!

In a recent podcast with Rajeev Masand and Anupama Chopra, Arjun Kapoor revealed how John Abraham got them stuck on the word ‘Baba’!

“I’ll tell you off camera how Ranveer and me became Baba and Baba. Because if you ever meet John (Abraham), John will talk to you saying, “Baba you are looking so good. Baba, Baba, how are you, Baba? Hi Baba, long time, Baba”. So, John always used to say Baba-Baba and I’ve assisted with him. Then John one day met us (Ranveer and I) at Jab Tak Hai Jaan screening. We had just signed Gunday, both of us. And he was talking to us and he kept talking to us saying, “Baba you should do this” and “Baba you should do that” and then he went and then two Babas were born.”

“And then every morning we were like, ‘Baba, you are looking so good, Baba! Come, Baba.’ Baba and Baba’s credit goes to John Baba!”

Arre baba! So that’s how this happened!

Well, as a true believer in the power of ‘Baba’ and the sheer joy it brings to fans when they hear Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor use that word for each other, I’ll be personally sending John Baba a thank you note!
