Ashish Dixit calls his wife Shweta Kanoje his ‘best friend and recalls how they celebrated Friendship Day during their dating days
2 min readIt is that time of the year when we celebrate one of the most important relationships in our lives—the one we are not born with but choose for ourselves: friendship. As Friendship Day nears, actor Ashish Dixit, who plays the lead role of Kartik in Sun Neo’s show Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, recently opened up about his special memory with his best friend, who is now his wife, Shweta Kanoje. The actor also shared his views on friendship and how he plans to celebrate the special day this year.
He says, “My wife is my best friend. We’ve faced ups and downs together for around five years. Our friendship began when we were working together in May 2017. I remember how we celebrated this day back when Shweta and I were dating. We traveled to Lonavala and tied friendship bands on each other’s wrists. It was a wonderful day.”
The actor, who is currently busy shooting for Sun Neo’s Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, also revealed his celebration plans for this year. “I’ll celebrate with my wife first and then with my best friends. On the set of Sun Neo’s Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, Brinda Dahal and Nishi Singh are my best friends, and I’ll be celebrating with them as well,” Ashish said.
Lastly, opening up about his take on friendship, Ashish shared, “Friendship means being together through happiness, sadness, craziness, and fun. A true friend is someone who understands your feelings without you having to say a word. It’s not about talking every day or partying together, but about having meaningful conversations even if it’s just a few times a year. True friends always think well of each other, even if they don’t meet every day. I have a few close friends in my life, and we call each other ‘chaddi baddi’ yaar.”
Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya is a family drama that follows Vaishnavi (played by Brinda Dahal), an orphan who reveres Chhathi Maiyya (portrayed by Devoleena Bhattacharjee) as her mother. To find out more, watch Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya on Sun Neo every Monday to Friday at 7:00 pm.
