Friendship day buzz: From Kareena-Amrita to Sonam-Swara, these bonds prove it’s not lonely at the top

In an industry known for its spotlight, competition, and unpredictability, female friendships in Bollywood have often stood firm, steady, and unaffected by the pressures of fame. Whether it’s stars who grew up together or actors who bonded on film sets, many women in the industry have formed lasting, meaningful friendships.

On Friendship Day, here’s a closer look at some of the strongest and most consistent female friendships that Bollywood has seen proof that stardom doesn’t always lead to rivalry.



Kareena Kapoor Khan and Amrita Arora Ladak’s bond has been visible both online and offline. The two are often spotted vacationing, brunching, or attending family events together. Their friendship, part of a larger circle including Karisma Kapoor and Malaika Arora, has been dubbed the “desi version of Sex and the City” by Karan Johar on Koffee With Karan. Whether it’s being workout buddies or openly supporting each other on social media, the duo refer to each other as their “ride or die.”



Sonam Kapoor and Swara Bhasker’s friendship began during the filming of Raanjhanaa and later grew stronger while working together on Veere Di Wedding. They’ve continued to stay in touch, with Sonam writing on Swara’s birthday, “Dear Behen... our friendship is a godsend.” She also praised Swara’s real-life personality over her many on-screen roles. Their comfort with each other is visible in both personal interactions and public appreciation.



While not always under the spotlight, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Preity Zinta share a bond that dates back years. They’ve been seen attending dinners, family functions, and events together. Preity Zinta once described Aishwarya as “a cool mother and great fun to hang around with.” Their closeness was also visible during a world tour they both went on in 2008. Preity’s presence at various events for Abhishek and Aishwarya further confirmed the depth of this friendship.



Tabu and Farah Khan, along with tennis player Sania Mirza, form a well-known trio in Bollywood circles. Their bond is full of frequent get-togethers, house parties, and meaningful gestures. One such gesture included Farah and Tabu bringing home-cooked biryani for each other, something not often seen in an industry filled with formalities. The friendship is grounded, genuine, and celebrated regularly on their social media timelines.



From weddings to award shows, Dia Mirza and Neha Dhupia are often spotted together. What stands out is their collaboration on multiple social and charitable initiatives. The former beauty queens have used their platforms jointly to promote causes they both believe in. Beyond the glam, theirs is a friendship that balances personal support with professional purpose.

While the entertainment industry may be known for fierce competition and shifting alliances, these friendships show another side, one of long-term loyalty, shared laughter, and mutual respect. From brunch tables to international tours and from gym sessions to charity work, these Bollywood women continue to show that friendship, when genuine, can thrive even under the spotlight.
