They will also tell you when you are wrong but then won’t let anyone hurt you. They are those who always protect you. That's what friendship is to me,” says the actor, known for TV shows Udaan and Vidya.  Meera does not have a lot of friends. “I have a very small circle. But then that small circle is really important to me and there's not one person that can be left out because they all play different roles in my life.

He completely believes in the philosophy of ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’.“They are those "creatures" specially crafted by God, who make happy times happier and sad times bearable! I think this is one of the purest emotions and has no parameters to it. In fact, according to me, if there are any, then it isn't a true friendship,” he says.

Friends also act as a guiding light in your lives,” he adds. Dusshyant, who is a friendly person says, even though he likes to make friends, he is extremely close to two of his scho...

Reem Shaikh and Sehban Azmi starrer Tujhse Hai Raabta goes off air. Actors, crew and the producers of the show Sonali Jaffar and Amir Jaffar bid an emotional adieu to the show that did well for the last three years.   “My take away from Tujhse Hai Raabta is that no matter how small a budget you have, no matter whether you are working with relatively newer people, your story will go a long way provided it’s told from the heart. And it’s the performances, presentation and relatable factor that do wonders. Raabta survived because it held on to all these things till the very end,” says producer and writer Sonali Jaffar.   Sharing memories of making the show, she reveals an incident about Arzan, the child artist who plays the role of Pilu. “Arzan spoke his first word and also took his first step on the set.
