Akanksha shares a longstanding friendship with Alia Bhatt. The two are frequently seen holidaying together and attending family and social occasions within their larger group of friends. She is also close to Athiya Shetty and often shares glimpses of their outings on social media.

The Friendship Day post comes weeks after Akanksha’s marriage earlier in July this year. At the wedding celebrations, Alia Bhatt delivered an emotional speech in which she spoke fondly of their bond and the role Akanksha plays in their circle.

In a video shared from the festivities, Alia described her as “the glue that holds us all together,” praising her for nurturing individual relationships with each member of the group and for consistently showing up for them. She also recalled looking at the groom, Shari, and noting the emotion in his eyes as Akanksha walked down the aisle.

By sharing the montage of everyday and celebratory moments, Akanksha used Friendship Day to publicly acknowledge the friendships that form a significant part of her personal life. The post, along with the earlier wedding speech, underscores the close-knit nature of the group and the continuity of those relationships across different milestones.
