Galentine's Day: From Lakshmi Manchu-Rakul Preet Singh to Sreemukhi-Tamanna Simhadri, here's a look at popular actresses and their BFFs

This is the season not to just celebrate your Valentine but indeed some other important relationships and people in life. For all those female friends rooting for you, this is the time to turn this Valentine's Day into Galentine's Day and shower them with some love too. Galentine's Day celebrated on February 13 (today) is a special occasion to acknowledge, appreciate and celebrate the love and support of female friendship and shower some love on such special female friends. On this day, here's a quick look at some popular female friendships in the Telugu TV circuit, those which have indeed set some major friendship goals.

The two besties do occupy a special place on this list. The two have known each other from quite some time and their friendship has definitely aced the test of time. From celebrating each other's special moments in life to standing by each other through thick and thin, Lakshmi and Rakul are pure friendship goals.

The kind of admiration, love and respect that besties share for each other is something special. While Samantha's unconditional support to Chinmayi during the #MeToo movement deserves a special mention, the way the latter and her husband Rahul Ravindran are standing by Samantha during her ongoing battle with Myositis is truly commendable.

Ritu and Vishnupriya are often inseparable. They hang out and make memories frequently, never miss an opportunity to express their love for each other on social media and the way Vishnupriya stood by her bestie Ritu when she lost her father deserves a special mention.

There is not much written or spoken often about these BFFs on the internet. But they are thick as thieves and vibe a lot. From sharing a lot of common interests which includes wanderlust, Deepika and Rashmi's friendship is beyond adorable.

Ashika and Anshu Reddy have in a way grown together from their TV show Kathalo Rajakumari. They might be foes in the show but they are BFFs in real life. Though they live in two different cities, they don't miss a chance to spend time together. They manage to grab a few getaways to Agra, Goa and at the same time, be each other's biggest support system as well.

The two are one of the most talked-about friends in the tinsel town, often for their alleged 'influence' over each other. However, Ashu and Ariyana don't shy away from wearing their hearts on their sleeves and their goofy pictures on Instagram are one of the testaments though.

Bigg Boss Telugu season 3 has witnessed an unconventional friendship too. While transwoman contestant Tamanna Simhadri earned negativity with her controversial stint in the house, she found a friend for lifetime in Sreemukhi. The two never miss a chance to catch up and they are each other's biggest cheerleaders in real life and social media as well.
