Actors Amit Sadh and Manjari Fadnis offered contrasting perspectives on the nature and longevity of friendships within the Bollywood industry. While Sadh expressed a more cautious view, Fadnis strongly advocated for the possibility of lasting bonds.Amit Sadh's views on Bollywood FriendshipsAmit Sadh, who is known for films like ‘Kai Po Che!’, ‘Sultan’, and ‘Gold’, shared his nuanced perspective on Bollywood friendships. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, he likened friendship to a "Grade Five" achievement, advocating for starting with "Grade One: courtesy and mutual respect." Sadh believes that simply having courtesy and mutual acknowledgment is a significant accomplishment in itself.
He further stated that people sometimes "give too much importance to Bollywood friendships," only to then dismiss them as "shallow.
" He emphasized that it's not necessary for co-stars from different backgrounds to bond deeply, stressing that "Friendship takes time to blossom. It’s life."Manjari Fadnis's Counterpoint
Manjari Fadnis, who is recognized for her roles in films such as Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and Grand Masti, disagreed with the notion that lasting friendships cannot be formed in the industry. She asserted, “I don’t agree with the idea that in this industry we can’t have lasting friendships. You absolutely can, beautiful friendships that have lasted for many years, and they’ve really blossomed.” Fadnis provided personal examples, mentioning her enduring friendship with Mansi Pareek, whom she met as a competitor on "Channel V Popstars 2," and how the entire team of her film ‘Warning’ has remained very close.
Her examples highlight that genuine, long-term connections are indeed achievable in Bollywood.
