Exclusive - Sumbul Touqeer opens up on Friendship Day; says 'My sister Saniya will always be my first friend'
'Over the years, Saniya and I have grown up together and become very close. We talk to each other about everything, and I can't thank life enough that I have her,' Sumbul says fondly. She adds that amidst her busy schedule, she tries to make sure they meet often and spend quality time together. 'We love having board game nights at home. For me, perfect time with friends doesn't have to be a big party or holiday. It's those small moments, talking endlessly or just being together, that I cherish the most,' she shares.
The actress also opens up about friendships in the entertainment industry, admitting that while it's not always easy to form genuine bonds due to hectic schedules, she has a few special friends in the industry whom she values deeply. 'Friendship in this industry can be tough because everyone is constantly working, but I am lucky to have people around me I can call true friends,' she says.
Apart from industry connections, Sumbul remains in touch with some of her childhood friends, and that bond holds a special place in her heart. 'Childhood friends are different – they've seen every phase of your life and love you for who you truly are. Those friendships are pure and innocent, without any expectations,' she explains.
As she celebrates Friendship Day in her own simple way, Sumbul's message is clear: it's not about grand gestures, but about being there for the people who matter the most.
