Attend any television party and you're sure to catch friendly folks amongst actors walk in together or join their own groups till it's time to go home. Call it bonding or being good friends — in a race where everyone is trying to be one up on the other, sometimes when the possibility of even replacing the other in a serial is not remote, it is amazing to come across actors being the best of friends. Mazher Syyed and Amit Verma did a pilot a couple of years ago and though they never worked together in a serial, they did Kader Khan's play Taash ke Patte and that's when they got along like a house on fire. The two can be spotted at parties or events and talking about their vibes, Mazher says, "We are constantly laughing over everything and the onlooker keeps wondering whether the joke was on him. Also we are such good friends that we are each other's punching bags to take out our frustrations." And when one of them feels low, the other offers moral support.
Some actors appear to sport an attitude of aloofness but ask their best friends for testimony. For instance, Aamna Sharif and Shveta Salve are often said to be unapproachable but Poonam Joshi and Aparna Tilak vouch for their best friends respectively. Says Poonam, "I met Aamna during my stint with Star Plus' Kahin To Hoga when we hit it off well. It is four years now and though I am no longer in the serial, we still keep in touch. Like any friends, we did have our arguments but only while shooting and they got sorted out by themselves. Once you get to know Aamna, she is a cool, chilled out person."
As for Aparna she is all praise for Shveta Salve who she reveals, "is a really good human. My friendship with Shveta goes a long way. She has been in touch with me even when I was out of work. I can be myself and not put up a front when I am with her."
Another friendly trio is Rohit Roy, Sudhanshu Panddey and Sameer Soni. If it's one friend's birthday, the other two throw a party and they can be found together at pubs and parties sharing jokes and confiding among them.
