But it also made me realised how relatable and loved Tanie is!"The story of 'NKYBF' revolves around Sumer and Tanie and how their love-hate relationship translates into romantic love quite unknowingly.Asked about what made such a situation occur in a friendship, Anya shared: "That is an interesting, mysterious space for me to explore.
Honestly, I do not know. It usually happens between opposite gender friendships."She further explained, "Love has many shades and of course, there is a deep love we have for our best friend. But we never know when the spark happens and those regular chat, holding hands, hugs and other friendly gesture starts feeling more than just a friendly touch.""We never know when a regular compliment or even fight starts feeling super special. In the show also in the climax, we tried to decode that, so I am not revealing that here!"'Never Kiss Your Best Friend : Season 2' also starring Karan Wahi, Sarah Jane Dias - releases on Zee5 on April 29.
