With International Friendship Day just around the corner.
He said, “With the lack of time and our ever-rising busy schedules, having a true friend nowadays is a blessing; it is what keeps us grounded and connected to reality, be it on screen or off screen. Friends are very important.”
He stressed that, for him, honesty is very important in friendship. He added, “As an actor, the whole world praises you and gives you a sense of superiority, but a friend is someone who should be honest enough to point out your good and bad qualities rather than creating a fake cocoon of only praise; he should keep your ego in check and make you humble.”
Actor Vindu Dara Singh has three best friends:Raajan Modi,Mukesh Rishi and Shahbaz Khan, my bestie from the entertainment world, and he shares everything with them. He said that there are times that he doesn’t speak to his childhood bestie for months because of his busy schedules, but at the end of the day, he knows they are there for each other no matter what. He added, “Thanks to social media and all the messaging apps that allow video calling, keeping in touch is not very difficult, but being truthful rather than making excuses for not keeping in touch helps maintain a healthy friendship.”
“Our friendship was very evidently seen in our scenes too, and we have had many fans compliment our onscreen Jodi, so a great friend on set always makes work more fun, and the outcome is amazing too,” he said.
He also pointed out that the characters’s friendships in the show are obviously fabricated by the writers. If I make friends, it’s for life, and I’m very choosy about making friends.”
How has friendship contributed to your personal and professional growth? “Personally, my friends don’t treat me special; they don’t praise me for unnecessary things; they remind me of my roots; they keep me grounded and humble. Professionally, I think friends on set or from the fraternity once in a while help in getting a new project if I fit in; they might help with a dialogue or a phrase or grammar in my case,” Actor Vindu Dara Singh ended.
