Anil Kapoor calls Shatrughan Sinha a friend of friends, says he is proud to be his neighbour

Stories of friendship among Bollywood stars are often talked about. Some relationships last for years, and the warmth between them sometimes shows on public platforms too. The friendship of actor Anil Kapoor and senior actor Shatrughan Sinha is one such long-standing bond.

Anil Kapoor recently spoke warmly about Sinha on the Star Plus show "India Ke Top 1% - The Anil Kapoor Show". He also said that Sinha is his neighbour and that he is proud of it.

The two have known each other for several decades. They worked together in the 1980s film "Yudh". Besides being co-stars, they are neighbours in real life too.

The remarks came during the show's special episode, "Great Indian Buddhi League". A contestant from Bihar, Lalmani Srivastava, described himself as the happiest person in the world. He also said that people in Bihar are always happy.

Kapoor responded with a well-known saying, "Jo na kate aari se, woh kate Bihari se" (what a saw cannot cut, a Bihari can). He then spoke of the talents of Bihar and named Shatrughan Sinha.

Speaking about Sinha, Kapoor said, "Shatrughan Sinha sahab is my neighbour. He is from Bihar. I respect him a lot. He is a very good man and I love him from the heart. To tell the truth, Shatrughan sahab is a friend of friends and he is my neighbour, I am proud of that."

Kapoor's remarks have brought the friendship and warmth between the two back into conversation.

"India Ke Top 1% - The Anil Kapoor Show" can be watched every Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm on Star Plus and JioHotstar.
