Happy Friendship Day 2025: Top 50 Wishes, Messages and Quotes to share with your friends
Remember those carefree childhood days when friendship meant sharing your last piece of candy, asking for a sharpener in the middle of class, or that cool friendship-coded handshake? A term appropriately used —
'partners in crime'
— your teammates in every playground adventure and the keepers of your wildest, most imaginative stories.
Fast forward to adulthood, the definition evolves — it's less about daily hangouts and more about those moments of effortless understanding, random check-ins, and shared memories that don't need re-explaining. If you have these people in your life who stay without needing a reason, it's the day to remind them how grateful you are for their presence.
Here are a few meaningful wishes, messages, and quotes you can start the chat with:

Friendship Day messages:
I don't say this enough, but your friendship means the world to me—thank you for being exactly who you are, no filters needed.
You're not just a friend; you're my personal cheerleader, therapist, and partner in crime—sometimes all at once!
Life's messy, but having you around makes the chaos way more fun and a lot less scary.
Thanks for sticking around even when I'm at my weirdest and most complicated. That's real friendship.
With you, I can drop the act and just be me—flaws, sarcasm, and all—and that's the best feeling ever.
We don't need a thousand inside jokes to know we've got something real. Just knowing you're there is enough.
Friends like you don't come with an instruction manual, and honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way.
You've seen my highs and my lows and still choose to stay—if that's not friendship, I don't know what is.
I don't need grand gestures; just knowing you get me—without me having to explain everything—is priceless.
Here's to the friends who hold up the mirror, call you out, and still love you for all that you are. That's rare, and that's us.
Sometimes the best therapy is just a friend who listens without trying to fix anything. Thanks for being that friend.
It's crazy how we can say so much with just a look—proof that our friendship runs deeper than words.
You're one of the few people I can be completely honest with and still feel safe. That means everything.
Life throws a lot at us, but knowing you've got my back makes all the difference.
True friends don't pretend everything is perfect—they stick around through the mess and make it better just by being there.

How travel turns strangers into friends
Friends just get you! Some grow up with you, others find their way to you on a road trip, a trek, or while waiting for hostel check-in. Think of Rani (played by Kangana Ranaut) in the movie Queen (2013), who stumbles into a friendship with Vijaylakshmi (Lisa Haydon) while wandering through Paris. Or the trio in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) (played by Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, and Farhan Akhtar), who set off for an adventurous escape and return with deeper bonds and lighter hearts. On Friendship Day today, we speak to people who made lifelong friends through travel — because nothing forges bonds like an adventure away from home. Lisa Haydon and Kangana Ranaut in a still from the film Queen, in which their characters developed an unexpected friendship From trail mates to soul sisters Sharanya Munsi met Dilshad during a snow trek to Brahmatal in 2019. Dilshad, a fashion designer from Goa, was travelling with friends, while Sharanya—a seasoned solo trekker—was used to going it alone. Sharanya Munsi and Dilshad 'We instantly connected and stayed in touch through Instagram,' Sharanya recalls. A trail-side chat sparked a lasting friendship, deepened by shared pets, K-dramas, and long talks across cities. During COVID, Dilshad even designed Sharanya's bridal face masks. 'She's one of the first people I call when I need help with trip logistics,' Sharanya says. 'We may live far apart, but she's become a comfort and constant outside of my usual circles.' Travel companions for life In May 2019, Kanika Yadav from Faridabad travelled to Ladakh with childhood friend Shubham Dhupar, joined by his friend Rahul Grover and colleague Gagandeep Kaur, strangers to her then. The group calls themselves 'travel companions for life.' 'We were all at crossroads in our lives, and I had never met the other two before,' she recalls. But the mountains had plans of their own. On the trip, Kanika and Rahul bonded and stayed in touch abroad, turning friendship into love; they married in 2023. Meanwhile, Gagandeep and Shubham also grew close and tied the knot this February. 'Despite all the distance and change, one trip gave me my husband, brought my best friend his partner, and made us all each other's chosen people,' says Kanika. Today, the group calls themselves 'travel companions for life.' A birthday changed everything Shivani Relia (28), from Delhi, never expected her solo birthday trip to Udaipur in 2021 to lead to a lifelong friendship. Shivani Relia and Shruti Sharma She had checked into Zostel early and was waiting in the café when she struck up a conversation with Shruti Sharma (34) from Bangalore, who was also travelling solo. 'We just started talking, and everything clicked,' says Shivani. Four years later, they're still in touch and now planning a trip to the Rann of Kutch. 'Some friendships just feel easy from the start,' Shivani adds. Work trip turned to family Pamela Gupta (25) and Tejashee Kashyap (27), both from Delhi, worked in the same industry, but their paths only crossed during a work trip to Egypt. 'It started as the usual work dynamic, but it felt like we had known each other for years. We clicked instantly and began travelling together soon after,' recalls Pamela. Four countries later, their bond has only grown stronger. They've found a rhythm despite their contrasting personalities. 'We may not agree on everything, but that's the beauty of this friendship; we hold space for each other,' Pamela reflects. Today, even their mothers are close friends. She adds, We can't go a day without checking in. We're practically family now.'

Prabhas Dances to ‘Ek Niranjan' With Rana Daggubati In Throwback Baahubali BTS Clip; Anushka Shetty Joins In
Last Updated: Celebrate Friendship Day with a viral Baahubali BTS video featuring Prabhas dancing to Ek Niranjan with Rana Daggubati. Anushka Shetty also makes a special appearance. In a delightful blast from the past, a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Baahubali has gone viral—and it's as heartwarming as it is hilarious. Shared on the official Instagram handle of the Baahubali franchise on August 3, 2025, to mark Friendship Day, the video features superstar Prabhas letting loose and dancing to the title track of his 2009 film Ek Niranjan. Wearing his royal Baahubali costume, Prabhas can be seen performing the iconic hook step of Ek Niranjan, while also singing along to the track with full gusto. His infectious energy, combined with a touch of goofiness, makes for a moment that fans are calling 'pure gold." Joining him in the clip is co-star Rana Daggubati, who is clearly enjoying the impromptu performance just as much. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Baahubali (@baahubalimovie) Adding to the charm of the video, actress Anushka Shetty—dressed as Devasena—enters the frame, exchanging smiles and a few words with Prabhas, capturing the camaraderie that defined the making of this cinematic epic. The caption on the video reads, 'Every day on set felt like #FriendshipDay," perfectly encapsulating the bond shared by the cast. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Ek Niranjan featured Prabhas opposite Kangana Ranaut, with Sonu Sood and the late Mukul Dev in supporting roles. Though not as monumental as Baahubali, the film remains a fan favorite, especially for its catchy soundtrack. As for the Baahubali franchise, helmed by SS Rajamouli, it stands tall as one of the most successful film series in Indian cinema. Prabhas took on the dual roles of Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, with Rana Daggubati playing the formidable antagonist Bhallaladeva, and Anushka Shetty as the fierce and graceful Devasena. The ensemble also included powerhouses like Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj. Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) changed the face of Indian cinema, with the latter holding the title of highest-grossing Indian film for years—until the arrival of Pushpa 2: The Rule. On the work front, Prabhas is now preparing for his upcoming release The RajaSaab, a romantic horror comedy set to hit theatres on December 5, 2025.

Tale Of 2 Elephants In Tamil Nadu Who Have Been 'Best Friends' For 55 Years
An Indian administrative officer has shared the story of an extraordinary friendship between two elephants who have been inseparable for over 55 years. Supriya Sahu, on Friendship Day, spotlighted Bhama, 75, and Kamatchi, 65, two elephants at the Theppakadu Elephant Camp in Mudumalai, Nilgiris. "This Friendship Day, we celebrate a bond that has stood the test of time not between humans, but between two magnificent elephants," the IAS officer wrote on Sunday. She added a video of the duo strolling side by side. Bhama and Kamatchi have been at each other's side for decades. Eating together, resting together, and even demanding their sugarcane treats as a pair. "For them, friendship is everything," Ms Sahu said. "Here's to Bhama and Kamatchi, an enduring symbol of love, loyalty, and lifelong friendship," she wrote, adding the hashtag "Friendship Day." This Friendship Day, we celebrate a bond that has stood the test of time not between humans, but between two magnificent elephants. Bhama (age 75) and Kamatchi (age 65), have been inseparable best friends at our Theppakadu Elephant Camp at , Mudumalai, Nilgiris for over 55 years.… — Supriya Sahu IAS (@supriyasahuias) August 3, 2025 The video is now viral online. A user commented, "Happy Friendship Day Ma'am! Great Examples of Friendship Set by These Wonderful Creatures!" Another wrote, "Wow nice." "That's amazing," a comment read. Someone requested a "longer video" of the majestic creatures. "Bless these two gentle Souls. May we learn some life lessons from them," read a comment. Theppakadu Elephant Camp, managed by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department, is one of Asia's oldest such camps and currently home to 30 elephants. Earlier, Ms Sahu showed tribal artisans from Tamil Nadu crafting life-sized elephant replicas from lantana camara, an invasive forest weed. The models, inspired by real elephants from Mudumalai National Park, were installed at Chennai's Edward Elliott's Beach to raise awareness about wildlife conservation. She mentioned that the initiative was guided by an expert group and served a dual purpose, to provide livelihood opportunities to tribal communities and promote ecological restoration by removing harmful plant species.
