Friendship has been one of the most dominant themes in Bollywood movies. From Sholay to Dil Chahta Hai, it is a long-running underlying core of most movies. Friendship Day is celebrated every year in August and pals all around celebrate the day with much vigour but given the pandemic, our life has become more like Bunny being forced to eat Dal Chawal for 50 years. But, let’s admit it, we’re all extremely filmy and while the frustration makes you want to scream, the only thing that keeps you sane is your squad. Or at least you might be screaming together, either way, friends are your lifeline.
So to celebrate this great bond, let’s look back at some of the most iconic Bollywood BFFs that only make us miss our gang even more.
5 Iconic Bollywood BFFs
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
While we are all in love with Kabir and Naina’s heartwarming love story, YJHD would not be an excellent movie without Aditi and Avi. The four of them are the ultimate essentials of a BFF squad, one carefree yet ambitious Kabir, another introvert but secretly badass Naina, a friend who is madly in love with her best friend Aditi and finally the careless yet naive Avi. With a lead cast of Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin, this movie has to be on your list for a Friendship Day binge watch.
