In a candid interview to a leading news channel, Arshad Warsi confessed that not even a single friend of his accompanied him to Afghanistan during the shoot of 'Kabul Express' even when he personally extended an invitation to them!

Stating this fact in his trademark jovial manner, Arshad mentioned that he was aware about the dangers of staying in Afghanistan for long but since there were adequate security measures in place, he asked his friends if they would be interested in joining him.

He was quite enthusiastic about this since apart from an opportunity like this, no one would ever get a chance to visit Afghanistan for a 'holiday' since being there during a film shoot with the best security in place was an added advantage.

In response, his friends instead warned him about going for the shoot and rather than joining him, they discouraged him to be traveling to the war torn land.

In hindsight, Arshad thinks that if he had to choose between whether they were not good friends or plain sensible, he would opt for latter since he realized the real dangers of being in Kabul only when he was actually there! Nevertheless, solace came from the fact that his wife Maria Gorretti never stopped him from going ahead with the film and instead joined him for the shoot!

Ultimately it turned out to be a classic case of 'dost dost na raha par pyaar pyaar zaroor raha'!
