Bollywood and politics have had a long-standing association and looks like this bond has been carried forward into the new generation of actors and politicians as well.
Uddhav Thackeray's son Aditya Thackeray and B-town's newbie Saiyami Kher seem to have formed a strong bond of friendship.
The political heir has often been seen with Saiyami who makes her Bollywood debut in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirza Sahiban.
The two have been spotted at plays, exhibitions and art galleries.
Like good friends often do, Saiyami also hitches a ride with Aditya to and from these events.
A source says, "Theyve been friends now for nearly a year but this has gone unnoticed since Saiyami is not a known face in Bollywood circles just as yet."
