Shahid Kapoor: I don’t know how people get the time to make true friends in Bollywood

We all know just how difficult it is to maintain friendships in the Bollywood film industry. Throughout the years we have seen stars go from being close friends to bitter enemies. We've also seen enemies turn into friends. The industry is a difficult place to be in. But over the years there have been celebs who have maintained a good relationship with each other.

Recently, in an interaction with a leading newspaper, when Shahid was asked if he had been able to form and maintain friendships within the industry, he stated, "I have some good friends in the industry. True friends or not that you get to know only by the end of your life. After 20 or 25 years, if there are people who still stand by your side then you know they are true, otherwise, they were good friends. Good friends come and go in life; one should be open to that. Every relationship starts somewhere and ends somewhere. And it might be beautiful while it lasted. I have good friends in the industry, but there are few friends, about three to four of them, with whom I might spend my entire life."

When asked if he thought that friendship was just a loosely used word in current times, he said, "I would think so. I don’t know how people get the time to make so many true friends. It takes so much time in understanding each other and investing even in those three to four people. I feel aise do teen log hee mil jaaye, jinke saath aap puri zindagi nikaal lo, toh wohi badi baat hai (If you find two to three people with whom you can share your life, itself is a big deal). Baaki good friends hote hai or friends in happy times or acquaintances hote hai (rest are friends in happy times or acquaintances)."
