SK on friendships in Bollywood

We've always heard about true friendships in Bollywood. But there are a few who claim there's no such thing as true friends in this industry - it's strictly business. When we quizzed Shahid Kapoor about the same, he said, "I do see friends in the film fraternity. But I see a lot of people who are friends in the film fraternity have grown up together and got into movies together, and these people are a part of film families. So they've always been in the same circles. These guys have known each other before films. Some of them were assistants on the same movie, some of their parents were directors or actors and therefore they would do dinners together. So everybody knows everybody and that's a huge advantage for people who come from mainstream film families because since childhood you get so much exposure and it also becomes very easy for you to get access."

He also reflects upon the effect friendships have had on his younger brother Ishaan's career prospects. He adds, "I remember telling my brother (Ishaan), Bro you are getting opportunities at 20 which I would dream off. So go kill it!' So it's always an advantage in the sense that you get a wealth of opportunities."
