Sometimes, two Bollywood personalities can exude such a genuine sense of camaraderie that, even as a third person, you can feel the warmth of their hug as you take a step back to facilitate it. That's what happens with us when we move out of the way as Manav Kaul walks into The Tanjore Tiffin Room in Versova and embraces Sayani Gupta, who had been waiting briefly for him for this edition of Lunchbox. Kaul is a theatre director, writer and film actor who has carved a niche for him with relatable roles and offbeat scripts. Gupta is an industry outsider just like him, and earned her chops in FTII, Pune, before taking the plunge into Bollywood. Here, after the hug, they exchange notes about their new gadgets — Kaul's smartwatch and Gupta's switch to an android phone — before settling down for a congenial conversation about making it big in movies, their grouses about the industry, and the superiority of Kashmiri and Bengali cuisine.
