Because some friendships in Bollywood are not only timeless but also bring a lot of joy to fans. From Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s roller-coaster friendship to the fun-filled fraternity of Karan Johar and Farah Khan, let’s look at some of Bollywood’s most cherished real-life friendships.
Shah Rukh Khan vs. Salman Khan: A Tale of Two Superstars
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are two of the most gigantic stars to have come out of Bollywood. Since the 1990s, the two had been synonyms of friends and did several movies together. Audiences obviously saw magic on the screen when they shared the lime lights. However, their off-screen friendship hit a troubled note, if the story about the Katrina Kaif birthday party has anything to go by in 2008. For a few years, they were not in talking terms. 2013 saw them patch up, which thrilled their fans a lot.
Their friendship was again sealed when Salman Khan came out in the open for Shah Rukh in the Aryan Khan drug case and visited his place. The two, being a part of “Pathaan” together, was a visual plea for their fans as their bond had become much stronger. They continue to talk good about each other during interviews, and the world has evidence that their friendship is here to stay.
