Geetanjali Mishra: Friendship is the only relationship you make on your own

Actress Geetanjali Mishra, who is part of the show Happu ki Ultan Paltan produced by Sanjay and Binaiferr Kohli, says that friendship means the world to her, as her friends have been chosen by her, and not bound her relationship. She adds that trust and support is a must for any friendship to succeed.

“Friendship has a very special significance in everyone’s life because this is the only relation which you make by your own choice with your own decisions, while all other relations are God gifted. Naming one will be a little difficult because there are different meanings of friends. But, to name a few, on a personal level, I will say Ankita. She was my fan, then became a friend, then became a family member. While on the professional and personal front, Capt. Vineet Chaturvedi is a close friend. His company manages my work too,” she says.

Ask her what qualities does she value most in her best friend, and she says, “The basic qualities of friends are trust, support and willingness to ensure that your friend doesn’t get in any kind of trouble.”

She adds, “Everyone is busy when it comes to work relationships. But everyone can be free when it comes to friends.”

Talking about her friends on her current show, she says, “Sapna Sikarwar is my friend. She was my neighbour a long back and now we are working in the same show. She plays my sister’s role and offscreen also we’re like sisters. Her work environment is very light as we like to crack jokes with each other.”

She adds, “In our show it's all about acting between action and cut, while in real life, it’s all about real emotions, hence there can’t be any comparison.”
