with Aina: Friendships

Aina celebrates the power of friendship, from making new connections and navigating friendship break-ups to appreciating the people who bring joy, love and belonging into our lives

What makes a friendship truly special? Aina explores how the people we choose can become our community, celebrating the friends who support us, make us laugh and help us feel at home. From reconnecting with childhood friends and making new connections as an adult, to navigating friendship break-ups and appreciating the people who stand by us, this episode is all about embracing the highs and lows of friendship. Because even if some people aren’t in our lives forever, the memories and connections we share still matter. Plus, expect a feel-good mix of Bollywood, Punjabi, Pakistani, Bangla and global sounds.
