Everyone needs a friend in their lives. Imagine a life without friends (by which I don’t mean acquaintances or the hi-and-bye friends) I mean real best friends! It’d be tough. Every time I watch Ishq, I’m reminded of the ways having a friend has benefitted me. And damn, the movie is spot on when it comes to talking about it. Let me point out the benefits of having that one friend who you know will be there for you. NO MATTER WHAT:

1) You can say ANYTHING to them.

That time when Ranjit and Harbu meet and compliment each other’s ebony and ivory characteristics, respectively! Exactly, you can pick on your friends without offending them.

2) You can decide to con your kids together!

If one of you is poorer than the other, then trust me the rich one will not hesistate to accompany you, even in your worst aspirations. After all, baap ka maal hai.

4) They will impersonate your parents if need be.

You need to make your teacher meet your parents or even filmier, need to get cash from your dad’s account – just phone a friend and your parent will appear with the best makeover EVER!

5) You can hit on a ‘bulbul’ together!

A woman is every man’s weakness, and the whole chase is so much fun, right? Wouldn’t it be even more fun when it’s done in good spirit with your best friend with you – and the girl giving you just the right signals?! 😉

6) They calm you down.

Yes, when you get so lost in admiring your crush that you risk your friend’s life under a weight. Then you risk your own by walking on a pipe – he will rescue himself and then come to die with you on that pipe!

8) You can gang up on that annoying Aunty!
