Kit Chan has a new best friend - Hong Kong actress Sheren Tang

Kit Chan has a new best friend - Hong Kong actress Sheren Tang

Get together already, netizens screamed.

This was the response to Kit Chan posting a series of photos on Weibo on Monday (June 17) of herself and Sheren Tang holidaying in Scotland.

The pair looked to be having the time of their lives, with one picture showing Kit planting a kiss on the Hong Kong actress.

It was not previously known that they were good friends.

"This Scotland trip allowed me to know this good friend even better. After hanging out, I feel that fate is really incredible," the Singaporean songstress captioned.

"It really doesn't matter how long you know someone. Breakthroughs in friendships occur in the most unlikely tiny moments. I like her. Her imperfections are what make her perfect! Imperfections make us unique!"

Kit added that it was always hard for her to make close friends in showbiz as she is "slow to warm up to others, not good at socialising, shy, introverted, while having 'the aura of Empress Dowager Cixi'," a reference to her role in the musical Forbidden City: Portrait of An Empress and to how she might be intimidating.

The 46-year-old likened her serendipity with Sheren to "a meeting of Empress Dowagers" - the latter is known for strong roles on screen, such as in the period serial War and Beauty.

On Weibo, Sheren was quick to reciprocate the love.

The 53-year-old wrote, "From knowing Kit to hanging out with her, she's like another me. So natural, casual, real, free, without pressure and yet, at the same time, so much warmth.

"Liking her is like liking another me, completely original and sincere. We both have beauty in imperfection. Can you imagine how fortunate this is?"

Their mutual gushing led to many fans shipping the two as a couple.

Kit divorced in 2017 after five years of marriage.

Both stars, however, responded as soon as whispers began.

"Come on, our 'Empress aura' has already deterred many men from pursuing us. If you guys continue with such a story, these two sisters will be left on the bench," Kit wrote on Weibo.

Sheren added that she has always believed that platonic soulmates and best friends were just as precious as a significant other.

"I know it's difficult to find a great boyfriend and everyone might be too concerned for me. Actually all of you can relax... we are not lonely at all.

"I know I am manly, but I still like men!" ended Sheren, with the hashtag #thinkingtoomuch.
