Bollywood has often shown us that female friends can make bonds of a lifetime, from being there for each other through breakups, drunken nights, pregnancy scare or even marriage vows. The screen bonds between women in Bollywood have offered a refreshing lens to view relationships. From the classic Deepika Padukone and Kalki Koechlin in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani to Diana Penty and Tamannaah Bhatia in Do You Wanna Partner, take a look at the unbreakable bond of female friendships.

Deepika Padukone & Kalki Koechlin - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Naina and Aditi’s friendship stands true to the thought of opposites attract. Depicting lifelong commitment, Deepika and Kalki proved that the combination between introvert and extrovert is the best. Naina and Aditi’s friendship showed that the world would seem dull and lifeless without them being in your life.

Deepika Padukone & Diana Penty - Cocktail

Veronica and Meera’s friendship in Cocktail showed that the only thing that remains constant is your bestfriend - be it dealing with a complex relationship or handling breakups. From seeing you decked up for a date to seeing your unfiltered self in pyjamas, this friendship proved that your bestie will never leave your side.

Diana Penty & Tamannaah Bhatia - Do You Wanna Partner

Diana Penty and Tamannaah Bhatia collaborated for Do You Wanna Partner and showcased a bond that goes from being friends to business partners. During your 20s and 30s, when your female bestfriend pushes you to start a business with her, it’s important that you say ‘yes’!

Kangana Ranaut & Lisa Haydon - Queen

Kangana Ranaut and Lisa Haydon’s bond in Queen is the epitome of friendship, where it’s the girlfriends that stay, and not men! When Vijaylaxmi says ‘Vijay nai hai toh kya hua, Vijaylaxmi toh hai’ is the exact moment that makes you realise that some female friends are worth holding onto!

Kareena Kapoor, Tabu & Kriti Sanon - Crew

Be it being partners in crime or navigating through difficult phases of life, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu and Kriti Sanon in Crew proved that girlhood never fails to play these roles. In Crew, the trio navigates through a complex situation but they land up becoming each other’s backbones throughout the journey.

Through such films and solid characters, Bollywood not only entertains us but also inspires female friendships, emphasising that the bond between gal-friends can be the most profound and enduring.
