Amrita-Kareena friends forever

Mumbai, Amrita Arora's budding camaraderie with Kareena Kapoor comes as a surprise amid the alleged catfights and bickering in Bollywood.

And Amrita says that their friendship defies the notion that two actresses can never be friends, reports Bollywood Trade.

"I adore Kareena. We are very close and I hope to maintain my friendship with her," said Amrita effusively, adding: "Bebo and I are an example of the fact that two actresses can be friends."

Kareena too is all praise for Amrita.

"I really like that girl. She's fun, easy-going, hassle-free and honest - just like me. I make friends for life. For example, my best friend has been with me from school. Amrita too will remain with me," Kareena is quoted as saying in an interview.

Amrita is upfront about all her relationships and her equation with cricketer Usman Afzal is no different.

Unlike other actors, she neither denies being in a relationship nor dismisses it as the customary "we are just friends" justification.

"Firstly, you wouldn't be in a relationship if you're ashamed of it. Usman is a great guy. He has been very supportive and pushes me to do better. Usman and I compliment each other," said Amrita.
