Be it Bollywood fights or friendships, nothing escapes the public eye, thanks to social media. From their parties to dine-outs to vacations together, this International Friendship Day, we look at celeb friendships that have bloomed over the years.

Girl gangs

Last year, Alia Bhatt treated her fans with pictures from her trip to Maldives where she was accompanied by her sister Shaheen and best friends and sisters, Akanksha Ranjan and Anushka Ranjan. The four have been best of buddies, while Alia marked her presence in Anushka’s wedding in November, 2021, the Ranjan sisters were present at the close-knit wedding of Alia-Ranbir.

Another sisters’ and besties gang is that of Kapoors and Aroras. No guesses? Well it’s the friendship between Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Arora, and their respective sisters, Karisma Kapoor and Malaika Arora. They are the hot BFFs of the industry, who often give glamorous public appearances. If Kareena sends delicious food to Malaika, then during the lockdown, although apart, they shared a picture of them taking naps together.

Bhai’s friendship

Although there was something amiss between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan for a while, they patched at the Iftaar party hosted by Baba Siddique in 2014. Salman was the first one to extend his support to SRK when the latter’s son Aryan Khan got arrested in the drugs case. He was the first one to visit Mannat, SRK’s house when he heard the news. Salman also shares great camaraderie with Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt. Ajay and Salman hold special screening of their films for each other, whereas Sanjay Dutt co-hosted a reality show, Bigg Boss Season 5, with Salman.

Best friends The latest besties in town are Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. The two became friends on the sets of Gully Boy and they became best buddies while filming for the upcoming Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. Alia even defended the actor after his latest nude photoshoot controversy. There are other celebs who became friends while working together, such as Ranbir Kapoor and director Ayan Mukerji, Ranveer Singha and Arjun Kapoor, and Swara Bhasker and Sonam Kapoor.

The unique bond between Farah Khan and Sania Mirza is known to everyone, as they both are witty and outspoken. Their friendship and entertaining talks led them to Koffee with Karan Season 5. Also, Sussanne Khan and Preity Zinta have been friends for more than three decades. Zinta on Thursday posted a picture with Sussanne and wrote, “There are friends in life and there are friends for life. Never a dull moment with you my darling @suzkr. Three decades and counting.”
