Strong friendships are hard to find in the entertainment industry, but Nakuul Mehta and Jankee Parekh’s bond with Drashti Dhami and Neeraj Khemka is a true example. The two couples have been close friends for 20 years, showing what real friendship looks like. Now, as Drashti and Neeraj are expecting their first child, Nakuul and Jankee decided to recreate a special photo from their own pregnancy days with the soon-to-be parents.
In the original photo, taken when Nakuul and Jankee were expecting, Drashti was seen lovingly holding Jankee’s baby bump. In the recreated version, Jankee switched places with Drashti, and this time, she is the one holding Drashti’s baby bump. Both photos show Nakuul and Neeraj smiling in the background, creating a sweet then-and-now moment.
Jankee shared this heartwarming picture on social media with the caption, “20 years of friendship. From sharing heels, Jägers, coffees, and dreams to now sharing parenting hacks and building families together. Swipe left for SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT BUT SAME. Love you guys (heart emoji).”
The post quickly caught attention, and celebrities from the industry, along with fans, left lovely comments. Disha Parmar called it “Sooo cutee,” while Sushant Divgikr wrote, “This is beautiful.” Other stars like Ashish Chowdhry and Mini Mathur also shared their excitement, with Mini calling it “the cutest then & now I’ve seen.”
For those who don’t know, Drashti and Neeraj announced their pregnancy on June 21, 2024, with a fun video featuring their family. They are expecting their first child in October 2024. The couple, who got married in 2015, have been sharing glimpses of their pregnancy journey with their fans on social media.
Recently, Drashti and Neeraj hosted a grand baby shower with dreamy white decorations and a backdrop of beautiful balloons. Drashti looked stunning in a navy blue one-shoulder gown that perfectly highlighted her baby bump.
