Afnan
Fazli,
who
plays
Shoaib
in
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Ananya
Panday’s
film
Tu
Meri
Main
Tera
Main
Tera
Tu
Meri,
described
the
Croatia
shoot
as
a
dream-like
chapter.
The
actor
said
the
project
gave
a
rare
mix
of
work,
travel
and
strong
friendships,
with
long
days
on
set
followed
by
relaxed
evenings
with
the
team.
Recalling
how
quickly
everyone
gelled,
Afnan
shared
that
time
with
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Ananya
Panday
never
felt
like
work.
“It
was
an
amazing
experience
working
with
Kartik
Aaryan
and
Ananya
Panday.
It
was
really
fun
to
hang
out
with
them,
and
even
post-shooting
hours
were
more
fun”.
The
actor
said
the
bond
carried
over
into
almost
every
break.

Fazli
on
Croatia
shoot
memories
and
cast
bonding
Afnan
said
the
off-camera
moments
often
stretched
late
into
the
night.
The
entire
group
relaxed
together
once
filming
wrapped.
“We
would
chill
at
the
beach,
play
music,
dance,
everyone
would
be
there.
They
are
extremely
humble
and
sweet.”
According
to
Afnan,
such
evenings
helped
the
cast
feel
more
like
a
close-knit
group
of
friends.
Sport
also
became
a
key
link
for
Afnan
Fazli
and
Kartik
Aaryan
during
the
Croatia
schedule.
One
of
Afnan’s
fondest
memories
involved
casual
football
games
with
Kartik
Aaryan
between
commitments.
“We
used
to
play
football
together
a
lot.
Croatian
football
is
very
famous,
and
we
bonded
a
lot
through
that.
We
also
used
to
eat
together
often,”
Afnan
shared.

Fazli
on
Croatia
locations
and
travel
for
Tu
Mera
Main
Teri
Main
Tera
Tu
Meri
The
shoot
for
Tu
Mera
Main
Teri
Main
Tera
Tu
Meri
took
the
team
across
several
scenic
parts
of
Croatia,
which
deeply
impressed
Afnan
Fazli.
“The
beauty
of
Croatia
was
mesmerising.
We
didn’t
stay
in
just
one
place
we
travelled
across
islands
like
Vis
Island,
Trogir,
and
Split,
staying
four
to
five
days
at
each
location,”
Afnan
said,
calling
the
constant
travel
a
highlight.
To
move
between
these
Croatian
islands,
Afnan
Fazli
and
the
team
relied
on
frequent
ferry
rides.
These
trips
also
became
informal
hangout
spots.
“We
often
travelled
by
ferry,
which
had
a
gaming
arena
onboard
where
we’d
play
football
together.”
The
mix
of
sea
journeys,
games
and
shared
meals
strengthened
the
easy
rapport
within
the
unit.

Afnan
Fazli
on
meeting
Karan
Johar
and
growing
career
Another
big
moment
for
Afnan
Fazli
came
at
the
film’s
screening,
where
Afnan
met
Karan
Johar
for
the
first
time.
“I
met
him
Karan
Sir
at
the
screening.
It
still
feels
like
a
dream.
I’m
still
pinching
myself.
Ever
since
I
was
a
child,
I
used
to
look
up
to
him
and
dream
of
getting
a
picture
with
him
as
a
fan…
To
now
being
part
of
his
film
and
then
getting
a
picture
with
him
as
someone
who
worked
on
the
film,
it’s
a
completely
different
feeling.
He’s
really
humble
and
sweet.”
Sharing
more
about
personal
roots,
Afnan
Fazli
pointed
out
that
the
journey
started
in
Pulwama,
Kashmir,
far
from
big
film
hubs.
Alongside
Tu
Mera
Main
Teri
Main
Tera
Tu
Meri,
Afnan
also
had
a
series
release
this
month,
Real
Kashmir
FC
on
Sony
Liv,
adding
another
project
to
a
growing
screen
portfolio.
