While many Bollywood movies have shown human friends, here are a few where an animal/bird was the most special friend to a man/woman
It is Friendship Day, the day to celebrate the special bond you share with people who you choose and term as friends. Best friends come in all shapes, sizes and does not look at caste, colour, status, religion, and some times, it does not even need to be a human.
We all have best friends in pets, which is exactly the case with a few Bollywood movies too. These movies proved that your best friend does not have to be a human, but can be a loyal pet, and that pet does not limit itself to a cat or a dog.
Remember the adorable Tuffy from Hum Aapke Hain Koun? Or the guide in monkey that appeared in Salman Khan's movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan? These movies, and more, prove that BFFs could literally be anyone, and the unusual friends could sometimes be better than human friends too.
