'Ranbir Kapoor's Contessa picked us from school during Bombay riots, our school was in the middle of Shivaji Park and a dargah,' recalls Sikandar Kher opening up on friendship with him, Abhishek Bachchan

In an industry where relationships can sometimes shift with the success or failure of a film, Sikandar Kher believes genuine friendships can stand the test of time. Despite the competitive nature of showbiz, the actor has maintained close bonds with several of his contemporaries, including Abhishek Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor.

Sikandar revealed that one of the biggest influences on his approach to friendships has been the enduring bond shared by his father, Anupam Kher, with actors Anil Kapoor and the late Satish Kaushik. Their decades-long equation, he says, is proof that professional highs and lows need not affect personal relationships.
