Best friends forever

On Friendship Day, here's a toast to some best pal pairings that don't figure on conventional lists...
Think best friends forever…think friendship day and you think star wives walking into a salon and getting matching bob haircuts, while their hubbies hold hands and pick pin-stripe Gucci suits! We could have done the same, but this 'friendship day' we wanted to focus on things that really matter. So, here's our list of desi best friends for ever…you know people who're known by the friends they keep. So, here we go…
Sanjay Dutt and his Marlboro lights…chewing tobacco:
As the film industry sticks their heads out of the windows (a car window in the case of Bunty Walia) to rally support for the actor, the actor, a chain smoker has taken in a 10-pack of Marlboro lights to jail with him. He's addicted to chewing tobacco though! There are others too who swear by their ciggies like Ajay Devgan and SRK.
SRK, his net kurtis and Milestone tailors:
Now, here's one star intent on making a clean breast of things, hell, we've lost count of the number of times, the King Khan has danced on a stage sporting a waxed chest and a net kurti. Then are of course the gentlemen at Milestone, the official tailors to King Khan since…well a long time.
Shilpa Shetty and abs:
She was thin; she packed on a couple of pounds in the middle, and is all of a sudden discovering life in the uber thin lane! Now, we don't know how she lost those curves — godly or manly intervention, but whatever it was, Shilpa and her secret weight loss programme are the new BFFs on the block.
Salman Khan and his redial button:
You can beat him down with a stick, you can call a press conference, and you can pass comments on his general all round aversion to shirts, but Salman and his phone are virtually inseperable. Salman and his redial button have a terrible affinity…he would keep calling and calling till you throw your phone out of the window!
Bollywood and Rapidex:
Their English diction on screen is well as phonetically correct as 'I proud to be Indian', the movie. Their Hindi would knock the pants of hindi professors, then all of a sudden they descend off screen to give bytes to TV cameras in a drawl that is a cross between Sly Stallone — Sean Connery and hardcore Marathi! Where does it come from you ask? Well, some Spanish shows on TV and Rapidex of course!
Ash and her giggle:
Everyone else everywhere else in the world finds it sexy, charming, but try being in India — you can run, you can hide, but you can't cover your ears from Aish's giggles. Every question in every interview is garnished with giggles that would give a Punjabi daal the blushes!
P.S. Keeping Himesh Bhai and his cap out of this was intentional, they aren't best friends, they're made for each other!
