its really depends how you define friendship?!? ... i have always loved Oscar Wilde's definition ..."A true friend stabs you in the front" ... the meaning of this is truly how we translate this line ... its better to have someone tell you something on ur face then have someone just play along and become shady later on back stabbing youAshwathama as per the original mahabharat (to my knowledge) wasn't overtly involved in scheming with Duryodhan against the pandavs ... his jealously towards Arjun led him to incline towards Duryodhan ... for the most part of it he maintained a balance between pandavs and karauvs ... he grew furious only after the death of his father (Drona was tricked into death) ... ⭐️Ashwathama and ⭐️Drona aren't truly depicting a father son relationship they had
and if jealously and hatred for one side becomes the reasons for your friendship with the other side ... for me that's not true friendship
⭐️Ashwathama is shown evil and he has his own selfish motives to be on the side of ⭐️Duryodhan
as for Karna ... he offered Duryodhan true friendship ... he gave all he had to this friendship... tho much later he realized the wall of his friendship was forming cracks ... he was unable to show Duryodhan the mirror to reality ... but he stood by his word ... even if that meant giving his life
its important to have friends ... friends that hold up the mirror and show ur true self instead of ppl who claim to be ur friends on face value and behind ur face they back stab u gossiping about!!
just my point of view ...peace out 😆
