Shreyas: 'No-one's friends in Bollywood'

Golmaal Returns actor Shreyas Talpade has claimed that there are not many friends in the Bollywood film industry.

Talpade insisted that the competitive nature of life on screen makes it difficult to bond with fellow actors.

The 33-year-old told The Times of India: "I don't think there are friendships happening in Bollywood. It's such a competing profession that the level of insecurity is quite high."

However, Talpade reserved praise for several past colleagues, particularly Shah Rukh Khan.

He added: "But when I worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, he seemed secure and happily gave away a few lines to me to speak (as he felt that those lines had more humour). But having said that, I am friendly with John Abraham, Celina Jaitley, Amrita Rao and Shenaz Treasurywalla."

Talpade is currently shooting David Dhawan's Hook Ya Crook, which also stars John Abraham.
