Mahabharat' co-stars Shaheer Sheikh and Rohit Bhardwaj are real-life buddies

In Umargaon, Gujarat, where the mythological is being shot, the actors hang out together enjoying walks in the lush environs.

As a Diwali gift, Shaheer plans to give Rohit a box of almonds.

"He's forgetful and has a terrible memory," he says. Rohit adds, "I would like to get Shaheer enrolled in a financial deposit plan. He is a spendthrift and he needs to start saving."u00a0
