Friendship Day 2025: Bollywood has always celebrated friendship the best, from striking pairs like Jai-Veeru in Sholay to modern-day best friends in films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. But behind the screens, not all on-screen chemistry leads to real-life friendship. Some of the most iconic friendships portrayed on screen were, ironically, between actors who secretly hated eachother. This Friendship Day 2025, let’s look at 5 such Bollywood “friendships” that were only for the camera.

1. Kareena Kapoor Khan & Bipasha Basu – Ajnabee’s Cold War

While their roles in Ajnabee didn’t demand deep chemistry, the tension between Kareena and Bipasha was very real. Reports from the set spoke of major ego conflicts, and Kareena once took a public take at Bipasha, referring to her appearance in a less-sensitive form. The two have kept their distance ever since the Ajnabee days.

2. Shah Rukh Khan & Aamir Khan – Silent Rivals, Never Allies

Despite being industry icons, Shah Rukh and Aamir have rarely shared screen space. While they’ve casually praised each other in public, interviews over the years have suggested at cold war of competition. Their lack of collaboration, even after being in the industry for many years; speaks louder than words.

3. Salman Khan & Vivek Oberoi – The Grudge That Endured

Back in the early 2000s, Vivek and Salman’s war filled spaces of many tabloid columns of several newspapers. While they never co-starred in a film as close friends, their public appearances after the conflicts were marked by awkward silences and cold wars. The fight, reportedly over actress Aishwarya Rai, ended any chance of friendship.

4. Govinda & David Dhawan – From Hitmakers to Strangers

They gave us a streak of hit comedy movies, and their on-screen partnership was all-time audience favorites. But creative differences and personal issues eventually led to a bitter friendship. Despite they tried to patch things up, their friendship never returned to its sweet form like-before.

5. Deepika Padukone & Katrina Kaif – Polite but Distant

Though not paired in films together often, both actresses shared space in ads and events. Their personal histories with Ranbir Kapoor led to a connection between them. While they’ve made peace publicly, insiders suggest it’s more of a hate, than politeness.
