What often stays with you long after a shoot wraps is the friendships formed on set, those shared cups of chai, comforting silences, inside jokes, and unspoken support during the most demanding days. This Friendship Day, the beloved artists Abhishek Verma, Aan Tiwari, Sheehan Kapahi and Naveen Pandita reflect on the beautiful off-screen bonds that have turned their sets into second homes.

Abhishek and Aan share their plans

Abhishek Verma, who plays Shaurya Sinha in Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, shared, “There’s a quiet strength in knowing someone’s got your back and on the sets of Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, I’ve found friendships that are rooted in mutual understanding and silent support. One of the most special bonds I have is with Shabir bhai. I’ve known him for years now, and he’s not just a phenomenal actor but also an incredibly grounded human being. We’ve shared many conversations about life, the craft, and everything in between and there’s always something to learn from him. On set, just having him around feels reassuring. Sometimes we don’t even need to talk just a glance or a pat on the back after a good take says it all. That’s the kind of friendship I value, steady, simple, real.”

Aan Tiwari, who plays Lord Hanuman in Veer Hanuman, said, “Everyone on set feels like a friend to me! We play together, eat together, and sometimes even have fun during breaks. My closest friend is Tanmay bhaiya, who plays Lord Ram. Just like Hanuman ji always took care of Ram ji, I feel friendship means always being there for each other. Happy Friendship Day to all my friends!”
