Look, who's giving Shilpa and Shamita Shetty company in this selfie

The Shetty sisters not only brought in the new year with their family, but also close friends. In fact, no celebration is complete for them without Shilpa Shetty Kundra's bestie, Akanksha Mahotra. The actress, also grandchild of the legendary actor couple Prem Nath and Bina Rai, seems to be an intrinsic part of the family. This is clear from the New Year's selfies and get-together of the Shetty family that Shamita Shetty shared online. Shilpa had even gone on to compare her relationship with her

bestie

to that of a

yoga asana

on Friendship Day last year. She wrote: "There's always that one person who knows and accepts you for who you are... unconditionally! That’s you, @akankshamalhotra. Thank you for indulging all my madness, miss my trips to Delhi... our looong conversations, you overfeeding me, working on our ‘Ikigai’, our passion for Yoga & fitness ...and the unconditional love... is enough motivation for every day, to last me a lifetime. How symbolic is it! Just like these variations of

Virbhadrasana

help bring in focus, balance, and stability; you do the same when I need you to. On Friendship's Day... or not... I DON’T celebrate the day... I celebrate YOU because 'Sunday ho ya Monday, dosti ke hain simple se funde’ Love you my bestie (sic)."


Shamita also posted a video of her excitement to step into 2021. She can be seen leaping in the air with excitement. In the post accompanying the video, she wrote: "Jumping into 2021 with excitement ,gratitude,new hope n positivity for a better year.. goodbye 2020!!!many lessons learnt but no regrets ..only become stronger !! .. Ill choose to remember the positives ! Happy New Year. Cheers to a wonderful 2021 n loads of love to all #happynewyear #2021 #positivity #gratitude #joy #loveyourself #lifeisgood (sic)."
