Delnaaz Irani on Friendship: My bonds aren't seasonal, they're for life
As Friendship Day approaches, actress Delnaaz Irani opens up about what the occasion means to her—and it's not about cards or planned celebrations. For Delnaaz, real friendships are lived and nurtured every day. 'I don't really celebrate Friendship Day in the traditional sense,' she shares. 'But if my friends and I plan to meet, that's always lovely. Personally, I believe every day should be dedicated to those who are close to your heart.' Having spent over three decades in the entertainment industry, Delnaaz has built bonds that have weathered time, fame, and change. 'I've had some incredible friends in the industry—bonds that go back to my theatre days and TV shows from the '90s. We still have those WhatsApp groups, we still meet, we still laugh like old times,' she says, adding, 'It's a myth that actors can't be friends. I've been lucky to have friends who are now like family. ' As life has evolved, so have her catch-ups. 'Earlier, it was about parties and getaways. Now it's cozy dinners, coffee catch-ups, or just chatting at home. I cherish the simplicity of being present, being real,' she reflects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo But it's not just industry friendships she values. Delnaaz remains closely connected with school and college friends too. 'Of course, everyone's busy now—some are married, some have grandkids! But we stay in touch, laugh over silly things, and pick up right where we left off,' she says. For Delnaaz, friendships aren't passing phases. 'My friends aren't temporary or seasonal. They're permanent. I don't believe in surface-level friendships. When I call someone a friend, it's for life,' she smiles. Her story is a warm reminder that real connections don't need a day—they just need intention, honesty, and a little effort to last a lifetime.

He expressed his disappointment, stating that the film promotes an ideology that, in his view, distorts facts and spreads communal discord. 'By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala's image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the National Film Awards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar,' he wrote on X.
