Friendship is said to be one of the most beautiful relationships in the world. But, the funda of friendship is not the same in the glamour world of Bollywood. It is often said that friendship can never be genuine in tinselville. Yet, many of the superstars today have made the best of pals in this world of glitz and glamour.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is said to be one of those Bollywood actresses, who has never shared good friendship with her co-stars. But this isn't what the reality is actually. Ash is one such lady, who respects and maintains her personal life, within the four walls. Call it her family, or her alleged affairs or friends, Aishwarya has always tried to keep things under privacy.

For those who predict wrong about Aishwarya, here's the answer for you all. Aishwarya has some good friends in Bollywood, who have always been in awe of her beauty and talent. Though this gorgeous lady has never been vocal about her friendships in the tinselville, but her relationships with a few filmmakers and co-stars are said to be genuine and long lasting.
