Shivangi Verma Shares Heartfelt Thoughts on Friendship

Mumbai, August 3, 2025: With Friendship Day on August 3, actress Shivangi Verma, known for her roles in Tera Ishq Mera Fitoor, Choti Sarrdaarni, the newly released Badass Ravi Kumar, and the upcoming Gaurishankar Gauharganj Wale, reflects on the meaning of friendship in today’s hectic, digital world. In an exclusive interview, she discusses celebrating the day, navigating bonds in the entertainment industry, and the irreplaceable joy of childhood friendships.

Shivangi’s love for Friendship Day hasn’t faded since her school years. “I still get excited about it!” she says with a grin. “I may not tie friendship bands now, but I always reach out to my close friends with a call or a quick ‘I miss you’ text. Life pulls us in different directions, but these small gestures keep us connected,” she shares warmly. Her words resonate with anyone who values the simple acts that strengthen ties, no matter how busy life gets.

Forming friendships in Bollywood, Shivangi acknowledges, is no easy feat. “The industry is tough—everyone’s schedules are relentless,” she says candidly. Yet, she feels grateful for the genuine connections she’s forged. “I’ve been lucky to find real friends here, but it takes time to spot who’s truly in your corner versus who’s just being courteous,” she reflects. Contrasting these with friendships outside the industry, she adds, “Non-industry friends feel more authentic, less guarded. That raw connection is special.” Her honesty highlights the importance of trust, a principle she holds dear in all her relationships.
