Friends are the family we choose for ourselves. They stand by us, protect us, and add vibrant colours to our lives. That’s what makes Friendship Day so special—it’s a chance to celebrate the people who make life easier, happier, and more meaningful. On this occasion, lead actors from Sun Neo’s popular shows, Suraj Pratap Singh from Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani and Savi Thakur from Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, opened up about what friendship means to them.
Suraj Pratap Singh on Small Gestures and Lasting Bonds
Suraj Pratap Singh, who plays Prem in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, shared:
“There are so many types of love, but I feel friendship is one of the most special. I’ve never had a huge group of friends, but the few childhood friends I do have are very close to my heart. For me, real friendship is when someone is there for you in your worst moments, without even being asked. It’s those small gestures that stay with you forever.
In real life, I’m very calm and quiet, quite the opposite of Prem. But I’ve added a lot of my friends’ traits to his character, and I feel happy knowing their qualities are helping me perform better.”
Savi Thakur on Bonds That Withstand Everything
Savi Thakur, who plays Rudra in Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, also shared his heartfelt thoughts:
“Friendship is that one bond that doesn’t break, no matter what. Whether we’re laughing, being silly, or having emotional moments, it always feels real and comforting. A friend, for me, is someone who looks out for you and isn’t afraid to tell you when you’re wrong.
My best friend is Aman Sharma, who plays my elder brother Virendra in the show. We were close even before this, but working together has made our bond even stronger. There was this one fight scene between us that turned out so well, everyone on set kept talking about it even after we were done shooting. It’s just more fun when you’re working with your best friend, and I hope we get to do more shows together.”
