| Yeh dosti hum nahin chodenge Meet actors who are best friends | |
| The inhuman schedules of the television industry have been under criticism from all quarters. Reams of newsprint have been spent on talking about how it leads to actors falling ill, poor quality of shows, technicians collapsing on sets. But what, perhaps, all of us seem to have missed is one positive aspect of this otherwise inhuman practice (working 18 hours every day) – the fact that it sprung many relationships in real life. Even if you do not count the couples in the industry, there are many people from the industry who have become best of friends, largely because of the time they spent together on the sets. Be it Sarah Khan and Parul Chauhan, Hiten Tejwani and Yash Tonk, Daljeet Kaur and Neha Bamb, Amit Verma and Mazhar Sayeed, Jay Bhanushali, Jatin and Ali Merchant, the song that all of them seem to be singing is Yeh dosti hum nahin chodenge.We spoke to a few of them to find out more about friendship in an otherwise cut-throat industry. Jay Bhanushali, Jatin and Ali Mercnaht "I met Ali and Jatin almost 6 years back. We are so close to each other that we know that whever we are in any trouble, help is just a phone call away," says Jay Bhanushali. "There is a reason behind this," continues Jay with his trademark smile, "Ali always puts me in trouble and bails me out as well! Jokes apart, we think alike always." So close are these two that they booked their cars on the same day and even got the delivery together. "Jatin is a bit different from us. He is a complete sweetheart. We three can really rock the city," adds Jay. Ali corroborates, "Jay is my mirror image. You can close your eyes and see him doing the same things I do. But he is very focused and hardworking and a constant source of inspiration for me. However, I dislike him for one reason – he always steals my T-shirts whenever he comes to my place!" The three musketeers do not think professional rivalry can ever come between them. "We started our careers together and today have our own positions in the industry. Besides being best friends, we are also our best critics," explains Ali. Adds Jay, "In true friendship, professional rivalry cannot have any place." |
