The entire industry knows about the affection between Karan Johar and Kapoor & Sons star Fawad Khan. A more recent development is the very public affection between Deepika Padukone and Fawad. The two-pronged mutual admiration club recently decided to merge and the trio have bonded beautifully. An instance of this new bond of friendship was the secret buddy holiday that they just took together in Barcelona.

A source in the know reveals, “After everyone attended a film function award in Madrid, Karan, Deepika and Fawad took off for a fun vacation to Barcelona for a few days.”

And no, Ranveer Singh did not accompany them. Apparently, the Bajirao Mastani star trusts his ladylove unconditionally and does not resent her proximity to any of her male friends, be it Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar or Fawad Khan. Sweet!
