Bollywood song ‘ye dosti hum nahi todenge’ from iconic Sholay sometimes doesn’t stand true for all friendships. Being the world of glamour, Bollywood is a tricky place to maintain relationships. Some celebrities are still struggling to stay close through thick and thin, but a few friendships have faded with time, and some have gone down to being ‘social friends’ only.

Celebrated Bollywood Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says, “Aaja mai hawaon pe bitha ke le chalu tu hi toh mera dost hai!’ These cliche lines are enough to measure the girth of friendship, especially when the friendship is unlikely! What kind of friendship is unlikely? Well, the ones in our Bollywood industry. The Bollywood industry is a very strange place. Here, relations are made and based on benefits. Having loyal friends for life, who stick with you no matter what, is unheard of in this industry of throat-cut competition! True friendship here is something as rare as an oasis in a huge stretch of desert.”
Now, we bring you the list of Bollywood Celebs Who Used To Be Best Friends.
1. Kareena Kapoor & Esha Deol

Before the social media revolution, Kareena Kapoor and Esha Deol met regularly. The two actresses were extremely close, but not much was written about them. Due to various reasons, their friendship has gone sour. One among them is Esha, not happy with Kareena’s statements about her closeness with Zayed Khan back then.
2. Jacqueline Fernandez & Sonam Kapoor
As per the Bollywood reports, the two beautiful ladies once upon a time used to be extremely close and were even spotted at events together. However, due to some misunderstandings, the two best friends got separated.
3. Suzanne-Hrithik & Arjun-Mehr

The two Bollywood ex-couples used to be very thick before they got divorced, and sadly all four went their separate ways. Currently, Suzanne and Hrithik continue to be very good friends and even take vacations together with their kids, but the same is not the situation with Arjun and Mehr.
4. Katrina Kaif & Alia Bhatt
The two ladies of Bollywood are still cordial and close but probably not the BFFs they were once upon a time. Katrina was in a steady relationship with Ranbir Kapoor, and now she is married to Vicky Kaushal, while Alia Bhatt is now all set to tie the knot with Ranbir soon.
5. Riteish Deshmukh & Shreyas Talpade
The two Bollywood actors who have previously worked together in films like Housefull 2 and Apna Sapna Money Money were close friends in personal life as well before their Marathi films clashed at the box-office. Reportedly, Shreyas wanted Riteish to push the release of his film Lai Bhaari as it didn’t clash with Shreya’s Poshter Boyz, but Ritesh Deshmukh was not ready for it.
6. Salman Khan & Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Both Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali worked their magic in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and were friends for years before the relationship fell apart after his movie Inshallah, which was supposed to star Alia Bhatt along with Salman, got shelved. However, the star actor-director duo were never commented on the differences later in any public event.
Hirav Shah concludes by saying, “Bollywood friendships can be tricky, courtesy, the kind of competition and the environment that breeds around the entertainment world. However, emotions and love go beyond how celebrity relationships are perceived to be. There are many friendships also which have stood the test of time like SRK- Juhi, Salman Khan – Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor – Amrita Arora, and others.”
