While we often see most celebrities hanging out with their co-stars or fellow friends from the industry, their friend circle is not limited to just the industry! And thanks to social media platforms, we all have been noticing these non-celeb pals more often now.

Here are some of our favourite celebrities and their “non-celeb” BFFs, i.e. people from outside the movie industry but who are part of their close friend circle: 

1. Janhvi Kapoor & Hani Sarkar

These two have been friends for a very long time. Hani Sarkar, who is also friends with Javed Jaaferi’s daughter, Alaviaa, boasts of a 13.3k strong fanbase on her social media account. From clubbing to night outs in New York, these two are often spotted together.
