Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just pick up the phone and get Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla to whip you up a fabulous couture ensemble for Diwali? Or may be get Manish Malhotra to design your entire wedding trousseau and then be there for every styling session? Well such is the life of a Bollywood celebrity and her designer best friend.
Some are childhood friendships spanning generations, as in the case of Sonam Kapoor and Shehla Khan. Others may have started in a professional capacity but quickly bloomed into something beautiful, like Manish Malhotra and, well… just about everybody from Kareena Kapoor Khan to Alia Bhatt. However their stories began, the talented stars and their equally talented designer friends have inspired and supported one another through the decades and through each other’s careers.
From playing dress-up as children to playing a more lavish version as adults, these BFFs have insured that their famous friends are always the best dressed in the room. To be honest if Shehla Khan was our best friend, we’d be wearing her signature pastel lehengas to run errands.
