Shefali Shah celebrates Friendship Day with emotional tribute to her best friends
Mumbai, Aug 2
Veteran actress Shefali Shah celebrated Friendship Day with a heartfelt note dedicated to the special people who have stood by her through every phase of life.
In her recent post on Instagram, she shared her thoughts on the importance of true friendships and expressed gratitude for the friends who continue to support, understand and cherish her journey. The actress shared an emotional tribute highlighting the unconditional love, support and understanding that come with true friendships.
Shefali expressed that real friends accept you for who you were, who you are and whoever you become in the future. She shared that true friends remain by your side through every high and low, offering support during moments of success as well as struggles. The 'Delhi Crime' actress shared a series of her photos with her friends and wrote, "They love you for who you were, who you are, and whoever you become in the future. They stand by you through thick and thin, of your waist, wallet, and whatnots. They'll teach you what not to do via their follies, and yet together we excel in multiple idiosyncrasies. "They'll support you every time, even if you lie in their name. They'll cheer the loudest for your win and wine. They'll be your partner in crime, crying, and cacophony. They'll pick you up from the floor, fear, and failure. And they'll pick you up even when you fall from grace. They'll make you laugh, love, and live."
"They'll understand your words, your silence, and your gestures. (Our secret language.) They'll be right next to you, on Earth, in Heaven, and in Hell, depending on how many of our shenanigans God saw and forgave. And they'll love you to the Moon, whether it's from Dubai, Chembur, Macclesfield, Matunga, Delhi, Lokhandwala, or wherever the F they are. That's what best friends do. And thank God for them!#happyfriendshipday," added Shefali.
The carousel of photos features Shefali Shah striking candid and cheerful poses with her girl gang, including Damini Rajendra Bharti.
Friendship Day is observed in India on the first Sunday of August every year. In 2026, the occasion is being celebrated on August 2.

This is so touching! The way she describes friendship – from sharing secrets to celebrating wins and picking each other up from failures – that's exactly what best friends mean. Shefali ji's acting in Delhi Crime was phenomenal, but her writing here shows she's equally talented with words. Happy Friendship Day everyone!
Lovely post from Shefali! I love how she mentions Dubai, Chembur, and Macclesfield – it shows friendships truly transcend borders. We're celebrating Friendship Day here in the UK too, and this is a wonderful reminder to call my best friend right now. 😊
Shefali Shah is one of the most underrated actresses in Bollywood. Her emotional depth as an artist reflects in this beautiful tribute too. I wish more celebrities shared such thoughtful messages instead of just posting superficial photos. Happy Friendship Day to all my fellow Mumbaikars! 🙌
"They'll love you to the Moon, whether it's from Dubai, Chembur, Macclesfield, Matunga, Delhi, Lokhandwala, or wherever the F they are." 😂 This line is pure gold! Shefali ma'am knows how to mix humour with emotion perfectly. Wishing everyone a wonderful Friendship Day filled with love and laughter! 🌟
As someone who has moved countries and left friends behind, this really hit home. Shefali's words about friends being there "on Earth, in Heaven, and in Hell" capture the essence of true friendship. A heartfelt message from a genuinely talented actress. Cheers to friends everywhere! 🥂
