Imran Abbas is 'so happy' for Ameesha Patel amidst 'Gadar 2' success

Star took to social media to wish his long-time friend well

The bond between two actors often transcends the silver screen, and Pakistani actor Imran Abbas recently showcased this sentiment when he publicly congratulated his long-time friend, Indian star Ameesha Patel, on the success of her latest film, Gadar 2. The heartwarming exchange not only highlights their enduring friendship but also reminds us that camaraderie in the entertainment industry knows no borders.

Taking to Instagram, Imran wrote, "So happy for you, Ameesha," tagging the Gadar 2 star in his Instagram Story. The simple yet profound message resonated with fans, highlighting the genuine support and camaraderie that exists between the two actors.

However, reaching out to The Express Tribune, Abbas clarified, "I am happy for her comeback since she is my very dear friend. People are misinterpreting it to troll me because Gadar 2 is an anti-Pakistan subject."

Imran and Ameesha made headlines in 2022 when a viral video sparked rumours of the duo being romantically involved. However, it was made clear that their friendship story began years ago when they were fellow students in the United States. The duo, both pursuing their academic dreams, formed a strong bond that has stood the test of time. Their deep connection caught the spotlight when they were spotted together in Bahrain, rekindling their friendship in a heartwarming reunion.

Brushing off rumours about the duo dating, Ameesha told Hindustan Times, “I read them too and had a huge laugh about it. The whole thing is just crazy and full of silliness. I was meeting my buddy after so many years. So, it was just a catch-up.” The Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai actor also spoke about the viral aforementioned video. She later posted the same video on her Instagram. "He happens to love that song of mine. It’s his favourite song... We just did an impromptu thing, which was recorded by a friend. It came out so cute, so we posted it. It was not planned,” she further shared.

The Gadar: Ek Prem Katha actor further elaborated, “We have known each other for many years, since the time I studied with him at a university in the US. And I have stayed in touch with most of my friends in Pakistan, who just love India. Imran belongs to the film industry there, and we have a lot more to talk about.” The stars continue to support each other well after the initial reunion.
