well worth reading the entire article which is an extract from a book:

As Amar Singh puts it, the Ambanis, the Bachchans, the 'it crowd', all 'vaporized'. And the deepest cut of all, his VIP doctor, Padma Shri winning nephrologist Dr Ramesh Kumar also deserted him. When Amar Singh's wife called the doctor and asked him to come visit him, he told them, 'No, no, I want to stay away from you, because you are a criminal.' The same doctor, who's also former PM A.B. Vajpayee's doctor, would before this incident call him all the time for 'small, petty favours'. Amar Singh said this betrayal really shocked his wife, more than anything else. At that time, his twin girls were just seven years old.

Amar Singh is worth thousands of crores, but even he talks about the expense of hiring big lawyers for hefty fees and then the case being adjourned for 'some silly excuse like they are having some headache, there is a wedding or a funeral in the family.' Lakhs of rupees being spent and you have no choice because it's either that or endless stay in jail. 'My wife who is completely unaware of these worldly pursuits knew just Salman Khurshid, a friend who was also the law minister. However, he too refused to see her.' Amar Singh says she is yet to recover from the shock. His four days in jail have left her insecure and scared. 'She doesn't want to trust anybody, wants to remain closeted. She has almost become mental, she has not come out of that shock.'

Amar Singh had his own 'calculations' and 'reasons' for making friends. And so did his friends. Just that their calculations weren't palatable to Amar Singh.
