Precious Friendships :
Sharon - Taani
They shared a strange relationship, with Taani having long accepted Sharon as her Bhabhi (sister-in-law), even when Sharon herself was not ready to accept her feelings for Swayam. She kept getting annoyed by what she perceived as shipping but was actually just Taani's way of acknowledging her as family.
Once they moved past these differences, Sharon really did become like her Bhabhi, guiding her naive Nanand and protecting her from the sharks of the world. While her initial goodwill only came from Taani being Swayam's sister and Rey's girlfriend; as time went by, Sharon started connecting with her truly.
They had their share of differences, coming to butt heads as their priorities differed at times. But as Sharon once assured Swayam -
Mujhe Taani se koi problem nahi hai, and I'm sure ke usse bhi nahi hogi.
Sharon was willing to arrange the cake and help in planning Taani's surprise birthday party despite their continuing fights at college. This showed that even when in the middle of arguments everyday, they both knew that neither would hold any grudges towards the other. They displayed an almost familial bond, one that they knew they could always fall back on.
Which is why, even when Taani broke up with Rey and went on to get engaged to Vishesh, all Sharon was really concerned about was her happiness. She asked Taani repeatedly, whether she was sure of her decision - not because she wanted her to be with Rey, but because she wanted her to be truly satisfied with her choices and not end up regretting them later. Even though innocent Taani had grown mature, Sharon couldn't help looking out for her, showing why they remained friends through all the adversities.
And as we look back on the show today, it is easy to imagine them having the time of their lives, making their respective beaus lives difficult as they continue to navigate the Bhabhi-Nanand relationship further.

Vicky - Nilesh
The comedic duo of the show, their banter is hands down one of the USP of D3. Their comic timing was brilliant and brought the much needed light-heartedness in between all the ensuing drama. Right from the beginning, we were introduced to Nil's rapping, with Vicky's beats providing the background to it.
Their partnership continued strong, joking and making a merry way through life. But that wasn't all they had, as evidenced by the time they both joined an underground dance club to earn money. Even when going down the dark lane, they remained together (albeit we are glad they had another friend - Rey to pull them out of that crunch).
Their have very few times when they disagreed with each other strongly enough for it to be a problem. One of those times was when Vicky decided to give up on dance after losing at the Dance Camp, but Nil was determined to continue. This lead to them splitting up for a brief time before the gang eventually came together again, their shared love for dance shining through.
For all of their apparent exasperation with each other's love lives, they still continued to be wingmen when required. When Simmi started her relationship with Nil, she didn't like how much sway Vicky held over Nil, with him giving more importance to his best friend than his girlfriend. This led to a fight between her and Vicky before she realized that they came as a packaged deal and accepted them that way. It shows how important they are to each other, and beneath the foolhardy jesting, their bond is strong and unbreakable.
Today, we celebrate this friendship full of rap, teasing banter and mocking but also unshakeable trust and support.
Give them the Beat guys!

Sharon - Simmi
Simmi was introduced as Sharon's shadow, rather than her comrade. She seemed more of a yes-man than someone at an equal footing with Sharon. But as time went by, we saw why even being a shadow is important, because they are the only ones who don't leave you.
Neither Sharon's stubbornness nor her attitude ever deterred Simmi, as she stuck by her side like glue. And while it might seem like Sharon merely wanted someone to follow her around and praise her, we see how she acknowledges Simmi's friendship and its importance in her quiet moments. Whether it be the simple admission that Simmi knew her better than her own family, or the way she realized that she had hurt Simmi's feeling by hiding things from her, Sharon's friendship is seen in the little things she says rather than any grand gestures or gifts.
And the peak of it came when Sharon admitted about her Asthma to Simmi before anyone else. It took her months to share the same news with Swayam, and she never actually talked about it with anyone else; yet Simmi was told almost immediately and that too without any goading or questioning from her side. This showed Sharon's immense trust in Simmi, one that she upheld by keeping her secret while also looking out for her as she struggled with her illness.
Simmi's support for Sharon knew no bounds, as she stayed by her side even when Sharon made a mistake big enough for Rey to get angry with her. While Simmi was also unhappy by how Sharon had refused to admit to her relationship with Swayam in public, leading to humiliation for Swayam; she knew that Sharon had already realized her mistake and was trying to mend it. So instead of shouting on her or leaving her, Simmi tried to bolster her spirit, becoming her source of comfort through the anguish.
Sharon returned the favor by helping Simmi understand Rinni's outlook, effectively ending the fight between the two. Sharon and Simmi continued to stay best friends, even after having found the love of their lives and getting engaged to them. They can have girly chats about make-up and boys as easily as they can share their biggest secrets without the fear of being judged - making them the most relatable girls friendship on D3. BFFs in the true sense!

I'm not writing whole gang friendship because I think it will become repetitive with Weakling vs. Dazzling fight and how they became one group etc.... all of which is already covered in the brief story. Chahiye to ek Siggie bana denge... with group pic or a friendship quote... to end this section.
but we need them by 10:00 AM!! Have you started? If yes, how many will you be able to do in the given time...?
