As Madhavan has beautifully explained in the mail above, read it like this: (bracketed text is my addition) "We've not met (to discuss that song). We haven't exchanged a call or an sms (about that song.)" (otherwise we have met himesh many times and he is a good friend of mine. I can say that he has more versatile talent than me because he acts also but I don't :0) (smiles). ) so, bro.
