Tumm Se Tumm Tak’s Niharika Chouksey on importance of friendships in her life: ‘Always been a cornerstone..’

While her character Anu in Zee TV’s Tumm Se Tumm Tak is navigating complex relationships on-screen, Niharika Chouksey has a far simpler philosophy when it comes to bonds that matter — friendship.

In a candid moment, Niharika reflected on how deeply friendships have shaped her life and personality. “Friendship has always been a cornerstone of my life. It’s not just about having people around; it’s about nurturing deep, meaningful connections that stand the test of time,” she shared.

The actress, who has been winning hearts with her portrayal of Anu, believes that each friend adds something unique to her life. “True friends are like the family we choose, and I cherish how different friends bring out different sides of me. One to talk cinema with for hours, another who makes every shopping trip an adventure, and someone always ready to discover new cafés with me,” she said, smiling.

It’s evident that for Niharika, friendship goes far beyond casual companionship — it’s about emotional resonance, shared quirks, and mutual growth. “Each bond with friends adds its spark, its own perspective, and together, they enrich my life in so many ways,” she added.

With Friendship Day around the corner, one might assume the actress has something special planned. But true to her spontaneous spirit, she revealed, “I don’t have anything planned, but I like going with the flow. Sometimes, the most spontaneous moments create the most lasting memories.”

Off -screen, Niharika is someone who values connection, laughter, and the kind of company that feels like home. Whether it’s an impromptu café hop or a long movie night discussion, she finds joy in the little moments that build lasting memories.

As audiences continue to admire her performance on Tumm Se Tumm Tak, it’s heartening to see that behind the screen is someone who finds grounding in the simplest, most human connection — friendship.
