"—By Simone de Beauvoir"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. "—By Octavia Butler"A healthy friendship is one where you share your true feelings without fearing the end of the relationship. It's also one where you sometimes have to let things that bug you slide. The tough moments will make you wiser about yourself and each other. They will also make you stronger and closer as friends. "—By Rachel Simmons"True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation. "—By George Washington"There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth."—By Chanakya"Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship."—By Marilyn Monroe
Happy Friendship Day: Dharmendra tweeted this throwback photo (courtesy aapkadharam)
Highlights Dharmendra and Big B famously co-starred in Sholay Dharmendra tweeted an iconic still from the film "Zamana misaal dega is dosti ki," tweeted the veteran actor
First, Happy Friendship Day, guys! As we are busy wishing our friends on the first Sunday of August, a tweet on Dharmendra's (unverified Twitter) timeline arrived to redefine the meaning of friendship. Remember how Jai and Veeru set major friendship goals in the cult classic Sholay? Looks like their dosti is still the same. On Sunday, Dharmendra chanced upon and shared an iconic still from Sholay, featuring Jai (Amitabh Bachchan) and his partner-in-crime Veeru (Dharmendra played the role). Tagging Big B, Dharmendra revisited Sholay days with this message: "Zamana misaal dega is dosti ki Happy Friendship Day, Amitabh Bachchan!" Aww, so sweet.
Not just to Amitabh Bachchan but Dharmendra sent out Friendship Day greetings to his other colleagues as well:

However, the tale of Jai-Veeru dosti continues to be a misaal over the years, courtesy Big B and Dharmendra, who keep reminiscing their Sholay memories. Last year, Big B shared a black and white blast from the past from the sets of the 1975 film and wrote: "Two very keen, committed, interested artists on the sets of Sholay. The jail sequence," which was preceded by another throwback Sholay moment.

Directed by Ramesh Sippy, the stellar cast of Sholay included names like Jaya Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini and Amjad Khan. Sholay also introduced Bollywood to songs which turned out to be on the list of Bollywood's most-favourites including Yeh Dosti, which was sung by Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar and was apparently filmed over 21 days.

Highlights Sonali shared a photo with Sussanne and Gayatri from New York Sussanne and Gayatri have joined her in the Big Apple Sonali Bendre is currently in New York for treatment
Sonali Bendre, battling cancer in New York, has no plans to not celebrate Friendship Day, especially when she's been joined by her best friends Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Joshi. On Sunday, Sonali shared a sneak peek of her Friendship Day celebrations with a new Instagram post, which also came with the foot-note: "Nowadays I spend far less time getting ready because I don't have to fuss over my hair! #BaldIsBeautiful #FindThePositive #OneDayAtATime." Sonali is currently undergoing treatment for metastatic cancer in the Big Apple and appears to have begun with chemotherapy sessions. The 43-year-old actress has been keeping her fans and well-wishers updated with powerful posts on social media and Sunday's post is just one such.
"This is me. And in this moment, I am really happy. People give me strange looks when I say that now, but it's true and I'll tell you why. I am now paying attention to every moment, looking for every opportunity to find joy and #SwitchOnTheSunshine. Yes, there are moments of pain and low energy, but I am doing what I like, spending time with people I love, and feeling very loved and happy," read an excerpt from Sonali Bendre's post.
In her post, she also revealed that Sussanne and Gayatri flew into New York just to be with her on the special day. "I am extremely grateful to my friends, my pillars of strength, who at a moment's notice, arrived to be with me and help me through this. In between their busy schedules they find time to visit, call, message, FaceTime... basically never leaving a moment for me to feel alone. Thank you for showing me what true friendship is. #HappyFriendshipDay, ladies. Blessed to have you all in my life (including the ones not in the picture... You know who you are)."
While Sonali Bendre, Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Joshi are setting friendship goals, the man behind the camera is none other than Hrithik Roshan:
Last week, Sonali's filmmaker husband Goldie Behl tweeted to say that the actress is stable and doing fine with the treatment.
Thank you all for the love and support for Sonali... she is stable and is following her treatment without any complications. This is a long journey but we have begun positively. — goldie behl (@GOLDIEBEHL) August 2, 2018
Last month, Sonali's post about "challenges" and "victories" revealed that she sported shorter hair.

She followed it up with a post about how maturely her 12-year-old son Ranveer has been dealing with her medical condition:
The news of Sonali being diagnosed with cancer rattled Bollywood and Sonali's huge fan-following when she wrote in a lengthy note that she's flown to in New York for treatment. "I am currently undergoing a course of treatment in New York. We remain optimistic and I am determined to fight every step of the way. What has helped has been the immense outpouring of love and support I've received over the past few days, for which I am very grateful."
On Friendship Day, we wish Sonali Bendre speedy recovery and good health. In Bollywood, She has worked with the three Khans and is best known for films like Sarfarosh, Hum Saath Saath Hain and Duplicate. She was seen in a full length role in Chiranjeevi's 2004 film Shankar Dada MBBS.
