In a 2016 tweet, the late Rishi Kapoor sparked a conversation about friendships within the competitive world of Bollywood. The tweet featured a throwback photo, presumably from the 1980s, showcasing Kapoor alongside fellow actors. The lighthearted caption offered a glimpse into a bygone era of Bollywood and friendships.

The image reignited the age-old debate surrounding celebrity friendships. While some believe the cutthroat nature of showbiz hinders genuine bonds, Kapoor's post offered a counterpoint, suggesting a spirit of bonds, or at least public displays of friendship, among actors.
