On a writing trip for Yeh Jawaani in May 2011, is where the idea was born… and Ranbir was my very first phone call.”
The post further read, “There is so much to share about B.āstra, but it is fitting that the first team member this Insta journey touches upon is… Ranbir aka Shiva aka Rumi aka Artist aka Soldier! More over the next few.”
