Actor Aditya Deshmukh shares on what friendship means to him!

“Key to a lasting friendship is letting go of minor issues and understanding that everyone is different”, opines #AdityaDeshmukh. Our life is incomplete without our friends. They are not just our companions in good and bad times but are also our confidantes. Friendship is a universal thing. We can be friends with anyone, be it our parents, siblings, relatives, neighbours, dogs, trees and so on. A child might find a closest friend in their non-living playmates. #WorldFriendshipDay on August 6 honours this pure and beautiful bond that we all cherish. Actor Aditya Deshmukh shares on what friendship means to him.

“I consider my school friends as my best friends as we have known each other for around 16-17 years. They know me inside out, and I believe the more time you spend with your friends, the better you understand and connect with them. After school, I would say college friends and MBA friends also hold a special place because of the time we spend together during those phases of life,” he says.

What he finds beautiful about friendship is that we choose our friends, unlike our parents, who come into our lives by chance, he feels.

“It’s a bond we create and nurture, understanding each other’s strengths and flaws. True friendship doesn’t shy away from disagreements or fights; in fact, it’s a test that allows us to see if the bond withstands challenges. If a friend comes back after a fight, that’s when you know it’s a genuine connection. The key to a lasting friendship is letting go of minor issues and understanding that everyone has their own nature and ways of handling situations. Knowing each other thoroughly allows us to appreciate the true essence of friendship. It’s a beautiful and rewarding journey that enriches our lives,” he adds.

Friendship plays a vital role in all our lives and the actor is glad to have many good friends in.

“Incase if I lose touch they try to remind me and get in touch. I am still in touch with my school and college friends. We have whatsapp groups too. If I am on the set of Suhaagan I will be celebrating with Raghav Thakur, Priyanka Nain, Shalu Shreya and Sudhanshu Mishra,” he ends.
