7 thick pairs of Bollywood BEST FRIENDS who define true friendship

There are many people who come and go in our lives. But those who stick around are usually the ones who know you inside out and become the thickest of friends who become more valuable than our spouses at times although the comparison would be unfair. Today when we have begun questioning the loyalty of everyone around, there are some people who still give us that ray of hope. Taking the film world as an example, here are 7 such pairs of best friends where the friendship has stood the test of time, define what true friendship means.

Very few may know about their friendship because they rarely display it on social media and otherwise. Salman and Ajay have a very strong bond and to connect the dots, the latter’s cameo in Salman’s film “Ready” and Salman’s cameo in Ajay’s film “Son Of Sardar”, are a mild proof. Popular film PR Shailesh Giri once told the media that "Salman and Ajay Devgn's friendship goes a long way. They even hold special screenings of their films for each other.”

In an interview, Ajay once shared that ‘’I guess it’s because Salman and I meet often and we have worked together on quite a few projects. I can connect with him and vice versa. I can tell him anything, I can ask him anything. He also feels the same. And I really love and respect Salim (Khan) saab. I get along very well with him and I treasure the time I spend with him”.

The two have worked together in “London Dreams” as well as “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”.

This girls squad is very popular on social media. Kareena was also one of the bridesmaids in Amrita Arora's wedding. In 2006, Kareena said in an interview about Amrita: "I really like that girl. She's fun, easygoing, hassle free and honest... just like me. Our friendship cannot be measured against other filmy friendships.”

Amrita too has said in the past that she and Kareena “talk about everything under the sun and indulge in gossip from time to time. It’s fun. Haha!”

These two women have been best friends ever since they began their careers. From partying together, to just chilling and scuba diving together, both the girls are each other’s secret keepers.

“Shahana Goswami is my best friend. I have always maintained that being in this industry we cannot plan when friends will come in our life and when they will move out. And she happened to be a co-star in one of my beginner films. And before I knew it, we became good friends; she is the first person I call when I am back in Mumbai," Deepika said in an interview about Shahana.

Sikander and Abhishek are childhood buddies and are more like brothers today. Abhishek treats him more like a baby brother. In fact, when Abhishek’s daughter Aaradhya was born, Sikander once shared that he rejoiced as the real chachu. Once Abhishek had posted an old picture of the two together on his Instagram with a heartfelt length caption to which Sikander replied “Rulayega kya pagle”.

Choreographer Ahmed Khan and actor Shahid Kapoor have been thick ever since they began their respective careers. The actor’s first music video “ Aankhon Me Tera Hi Sapna” was with Ahmed and they struck a chord which has stood the test of time. Reportedly, Shahid was the first to hold Khan's new-born child, even before his family.

Juhi proved their bond when Shahrukh’s son Aryan Khan was stuck in muddy waters and we all saw that. The only two people whom we saw taking an action to help out the man were Juhi and Salman. Juhi and Shahrukh have been friends for decades and yes they did experience some rough times but until now we can see and take cues on how friends are supposed to be. In reference to an episode in the past when Juhi lost her mother, she shared how SRK was her pillar of strength. She said in an interview: “ "When I lost my mother in Prague while shooting for Duplicate in 1998, Shahrukh was there right beside me like a pillar of strength. Isn't that what a true friendship is all about?"

This duo runs a production company together and have been friends for over a decade. Ritesh told DNA in an interview that he and Farhan Akhtar “don’t have egos and we have a very open mind to each other’s inputs. Every decision that the company takes is always a joint one and once the decision is made, there’s no blame game if it back-fires.”

“We don’t spend much time looking behind. This is what has made us remain thick as ever. We have both seen each other grow, make mistakes and learn from it. When we started out to make Dil Chahta Hai, I was clueless about production and Farhan too was a first-time director. But the experience we got hands on while making Dil Chahta Hai was invaluable,” he added.
