When asked if he keeps in touch with RK, Khan replied, "On and off." He has maintained contact with the Kapoor family and has enjoyed a cordial connection with them thanks to their occasional phone conversations and chats. Even with Karan Johar and Shakun Batra, there is still a tremendous deal of respect and love. Aside from casual acquaintances, Khan maintains communication with a few producers he has worked with and occasionally arranges to meet up with them. Thus, they converse occasionally. There is no resentment or animosity between them; they remain in regular contact and are still extremely amicable.

Khan first appeared in Bollywood in Khoobsurat, co-starring Sonam Kapoor and directed by Shashanka Ghosh. Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shakun Batra's Kapoor and Sons were his subsequent films. ADHM included Ranbir, Anushka Sharma, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as crucial characters, in contrast to Kapoor and Sons, which featured Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt, Rishi Kapoor, Rajat Kapoor, and Ratna Pathak Shah. Fawad co-starred with Ranbir in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, playing Anushka's husband.
