Buddy bunch Ekta Kapoor, Natasha (Anjali from Kavyanjali), Ali Hasan (Aryan from Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki), Shabbir Ahluwalia (Rishi from Kahin To Hoga) and Anupam who is a businessman.
Buddy bond Ekta is very busy but whenever we get time, we go for movies. Dinner on the other hand, is staple meeting time. We sit together at the lounge bars and coffee shops of hotels and talk and postmortem films we have just seen. We travel together, like going away for a few days to spend New Year's. We share a common interest in films, television and we share humour and information.
We've all been part of Balaji so that factor is a 24-hour thing. Birthdays are very special. We usher in our birthdays together. We may have parties later in the day, but this group ushers in each birthday together at midnight. The dinner is only for the group.
Buddy buys We exchange things like I Pods, perfumes, clothes, DVDs, books, anything. There's something about being part of a group which makes you laugh, which doesn't care where you are coming from or expects any political correctness from you. This friendship is leak proof and the loyalty factor is amazing.
Buddy backing We are very loyal to each other. It's a very close knit group. If there's any trouble, everyone is there for each other. God has been kind that there hasn't been big trouble but whenever there is any stress, I can call a member of the group and share it.
