#FriendshipDay: These Star Plus actors share their UNIQUE tale of friendship!

On the eve of friendship's day, we have cherished almost every moment of our bond of friendship with the ones we love and here is another instance that is bound to leaved you awed.

We are talking about actors, Aayush Shah and Shaleen Malhotra who worked together on the Channel V show, O Gujariya.

While, Aayush played Balram, a nerdy guy from a small town in the show, Shaleen played a tough guy who bullied the former.

However, none of this mattered to the duo's off-screen friendship and on today, they share about how things kicked off between them.

Shaleen said, "Well, Aayush is a great guy and a terrific learner. When, I entered the show, it was already on air and the ratings were dipping. That is when the makers and the channel took a call to get me on board which fortunately worked. So, when you enter a running show the actors are already set and interpersonal relations are built and there is a lot of speculation which has to be dealt with. But, Aayush wasn't one of them. He realized the call been taken for saving the show and he was very cordial with me since the first day itself. He was friendly and was open to learn. Also for me, a fond memory will be that actors appreciating other actors is a rare thing you'll see (from the heart.) But what was rarest otherwise was once how Aayush saw me performing and came up to me telling that he really appreciated me and that he'd really look upto me as an actor. This was a huge deal for me and will always remain with me."

To this Aayush said, "Shaleen bhaiya and I met on the sets of O Gujariya and since the show was youth-based and we had many co actors. Still, we got along well and went to share things and had a lot of fun on sets, where I also learnt a lot from him. We aren't in regular touch because of our busy schedules! But, the bond still remains the same. I regard him as an elder brother and not just a friend! I wish him and everyone a Happy Friendship's Day."

Co-incidentally, the duo have also been on Star Plus shows, where Shaleen has been a part of Arjun and Koi Laut Ke Aaya Hai and Aayush was a part of Navya.
