Friendship Day 2025: The most valuable relationship in a person's life is friendship. This relationship, which is based on love rather than norms, is characterised by trust, humour, shared memories, and constant support. 
 
Whether they be your childhood friend, roommate in college, confidante at work, or online partner, friends add joy and lightness to life's journey. And we celebrate Friendship Day to honour these amazing individuals who give our lives purpose.
 
The purpose of Friendship Day is to honour the ties that bind people together. Although July 30th has been declared the International Day of Friendship by the UN, Friendship Day is observed on the first Sunday in August in several nations, including the US and India. August 3, 2025, will be that date in 2025.
