Seema Kapoor: I consider Jesus to be my best friend

Friends are welcome in life if they are genuine and loyal, but if they are double-faced, they become a liability and should be discarded immediately. I don't make friends easily; I'm cautious of people and only get close to someone if I feel connected. Therefore, I consider Jesus as my best friend because people can be friends today and foes tomorrow. My relationship with Jesus is very strong, and I rely on Him for everything. I can freely open my heart to Him and have complete faith in Him.

Himanshi Parashar: A true friend is a blessing and friendship is about believing and caring about each other

Friendship is a bond so strong that no distance or communication gap can break it. You can meet after months and still be on the same page. You're most comfortable with them and can say anything without the fear of being judged. I'm blessed with such a friend, Saloni Mallik. We met in our first year of college in 2016, and she's from Nepal. We have been friends for eight years. We knew each other when we were just two naive girls who knew nothing about the world. She's now married, and despite the hectic schedule of daily soap shoots, I took time off and flew to Delhi recently for her wedding. A true friend is a blessing. Friendship is about being selfless. It's about understanding, believing, loving, and truly caring about each other.

Sara Khan: Angad Hasija is my best friend, he has always been there for me emotionally whenever I needed him

Friendship is all about comforting and happiness when you are down! My best friend is Angad Hasija has always been there for me when I needed him emotionally. It is important to be understanding and it doesn’t matter if you don’t talk or meet every day. It is the love and connect with each other that matters. Angad has been my best friend for many years now.

Nitin Goswami: It is important to have that one good friend otherwise life can become tough in a big city like Mumbai

A best friend is someone who is with you in both good and bad times, without any reason or benefit. Nikhil Mishra, who is the production head, of my show Deewani, has been a great friend. We have shared many funny moments and resolved issues without expecting anything in return. Life can become difficult without these heartfelt connections and friendships in a busy city like Mumbai.
