On-screen enemies, off-screen friends

TV industry is all about reel and real life relationships. It's funny how celebrities are great friends in real-life but are logger heads on-screen. Friendship's day being round the corner, let's have a look at the TV celebrities who are enemies on-screen but buddies off-screen.

Asif Sheikh and Rohitansh Gaud: Though they have soft corner for ‘Bhabhiji’, Prabhuti and Tiwari can’t see eye to eye on-screen in &TV’s comic caper ‘Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain!’. But as soon as camera stops rolling, these two rivals, played by Asif Sheikh and Rohitansh Tiwari turn into good friends. Like every good actors, these two also believe in team spirit and has no issues rehearsing before every final take. It seems that, taking inspiration from their on-screen characters, Asif and Rohitansh are simply following the rule of ‘Love Thy Neighbour’.

Surbhi Jyoti and Additi Gupta: In popular fiction show ‘Qubool Hai’, Additi Gupta plays evil, black magician Sanam who is the biggest hurdle in Seher and Aahil’s love story. In reality, Additi Gupta and her on-screen rival Surbhi Jyoti get on like house on fire. The friendship the girls share can be seen through the numerous pictures the duo share on their social networking sites. For those who believe that ‘two actresses can’t be friends’, Additi and Surbhi have proven them wrong.

Vishal Aditya Singh and Sartaj Gill: In &TV’s ‘Begusarai’, Lakhan (Vishal) and Priyom (Sartaj) fought over the one girl they love most- Poonam. But in real life, Vishal Aditya Singh aka ‘Lakhan’ and dimpled boy Sartaj Gill aka ‘Priyom’ bond fabulously off-screen. There is no insecurity between the two debutant actors. During the breaks, the duo often spends time in each other’s vanity van. This proves that, what you see on screen is not always true!

Anita Hassanandani and Divyanka Tripathi: Anita and Divyanka are seen as on-screen enemies in ‘Ye Hai Mohabbatein’. Anita plays the character of Shagun who is Karan Patel’s ex-wife and Divyanka plays Ishita who is Karan’s current wife. The two actresses cannot see each other on-screen and are arch enemies but the scenario is completely different off-screen. Behind the screen, the two are good friends and enjoy each other’s company. The two actresses are often seen clicking selfies while taking a break from the shoot and share the food as well.

Karan Patel and Sangram Singh: Sangram (Ashok) plays the role of Karan (Raman’s) boss who has an affair with Raman’s wife Shagun (Anita Hassanandani) and is also a business rival in the popular TV show ‘Ye Hai Mohabbatein’. They hate each other to an extent of killing each other on-screen but the same doesn’t apply off-screen. Karan and Sangram are pals off-screen and share a great rapport with each other. They are good friends and are spotted hanging out together on a lot of occasions.

Radhika Madan and Smriti Khanna: These two share the screen space on 'Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi' on Colors and are on-screen rivals. Radhika plays the character of Ishani, the lead of the show who tries really hard to maintain her relationship with everyone and Smriti plays the role of Ritika who is jealous of Ishani because the love of her life Ranveer loves Ishani and not her. But all of this doesn't hold true at all off-screen. The two are really close friends off-screen who hang out together after the shoots, go out partying and share a close bond.

Barun Sobti and Abhaas Mehta: They have been a part of 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon'. Abhaas played the negative role of Shyam who used to eye on every woman despite being married. Barun played the role of Arnav whose sister was married to Shyam. He knew Shyam's reality and hated him. They both hated each other too much that wouldn't even look into each other's eyes. But the scene is totally opposite off-screen. The boys are best buddies off-screen and have been seeing partying, playing video games and having a gala time when not shooting. They share a close bond with each other and are like brothers.

Pallavi Kulkarni and Ashwini Kalsekar: Though they share an awkward relationship on-screen in TV shows 'Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyar' but share a great relationship off-screen. Ragini (Pallavi Kulkarni) got separated with her husband Neil and Neil's sister Pam gave up her life to take care of his kids. Pam considers Ragini responsible for all she had to go through and same goes for Ragini. But in real life, the two are big pranksters. Both together are like a house on fire! Pallavi and Ashwini get along really well and love each other's company. They have been seen going out for lunches and movies and of course playing pranks on the cast and crew like a team!
