As the world celebrates Friendship Day on August 3, healer Pooja Seth shares her heartfelt thoughts on the meaning of true friendship—then and now. Known for her healing practices, Pooja opens up about the connections she continues to cherish from her childhood, and how her view of friendships has evolved with time.
“There are so many friendships that have stayed with me since childhood,” Pooja reflects. “Even today, if we get a chance to meet, it feels like a beautiful reunion. We go out, talk, laugh, and spend quality time together. It’s rare, but when it happens, it’s fulfilling.”
Pooja admits she doesn’t have a large circle of friends, but the ones she does have are deeply meaningful. “Even if we speak once in six months or once a year, we connect for hours. It’s not about the frequency, it’s about the bond,” she adds.

Jun 5, 2026According to her, friendship is not limited to one phase of life. “We need friends at every stage—be it school, college, or adulthood. I’ve met people at different times in life and some of those meetings blossomed into strong friendships.”
However, she feels the nature of friendship has shifted over the years. “Earlier friendships were heart-based. We grew up together, shared secrets and dreams. Today, unfortunately, friendships often seem more mind-based. People think about what they’ll gain from a connection before investing emotionally.”
She emphasizes that true friendship isn’t just about going out, dining, or spending money—it’s about authenticity and emotional connection. “Childhood friendships were innocent and pure, because the heart led the way. That’s something we’re missing today.”
