Happy Valentine’s Day: Celebs talk about its significance in their lives!

Love is in the air, and since Valentine’s Day is here, couples are getting ready to make their February 14 an amazing experience. V-Day celebrations have become a culture worldwide. The day, according to many, is not just about couples, it has everything to do with love that can be for your mother, sister, father, brother or friend. Celebrities share when was the first time they came to know about the occasion, and the significance of the day in their lives. They also talk about how they are planning to make the most of Valentine’s Day this year:

Delnaaz Irani- I was in college when I got to know about Valentine’s Day, Rose Day, Hug Day etc. We also got to know that Valentine’s is all about love. As such there is no significance of V-Day in my life because if you love a person then love has to be celebrated every single day, whether it is your parents, siblings, friends or partner. Yes, it’s a special day for all the couples. Basically the concept is blown out of proportion. Percy and I do special things for each other whenever we feel like and that day becomes our V-Day.

Rahul Bhatia- I had heard about Valentine’s Day just in movies, never experienced it in real life. That time people used to say that the person whom you propose on Valentine’s Day, never says ‘no’. At least that’s what we got to know in school. I never had the guts to propose to someone in school. Valentine’s Day is a western culture, but if this day is for love then love can be for anybody. This time we are expecting, so we would be celebrating this day at home. I will cook something nice for my wife, Meenakshi. We have a pet named Chickoo, who would be a part of our celebration. Every relationship is lovely. Next Valentine’s Day would be with all four having a good time together.

Rahul Sharma- During my childhood days I remember I wanted to do something for my first girlfriend. I bought some flowers and a teddy bear for her. I am calling it stupidity as it was very cute and kiddish now when I think about it. I don’t think there should be any particular day for love, you can celebrate it every day. The good thing is that you can express your feelings not particularly for your partner but all your loved ones. It’s good that we made one day to celebrate love and make it feel special. Otherwise, I believe 365 days you should love someone, make that person feel cared. You can make beautiful memories on this day. This Valentine’s Day, I would be vacationing at a romantic destination with my wife, Neha. Love is rare and if you have loved ones in your life, then you are lucky. I didn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day for a long time as I was not living with my family, but now that I am married, I will celebrate it with my wife.

Ajay Singh Chaudhary- I heard about Valentine’s when I was in college in 2001. That time social media was not there so that time for apart from birthday, diwali and holi we got one more occasion to celebrate and we got to know that we can celebrate it with your loved ones. That time on 14th February, people used to give each other cards and the atmosphere used to be really nice. We all used to roam around with friends that day. It’s related to love and it can be with anyone with your parents, your girlfriend, wife or daughter or your friends. For me, it is just an occasion where we can celebrate our relationship and spend quality time. Since my daughter came, we all celebrate it together. My valentine is my wife- Jyoti, my daughter and my mom. This Valentine’s Day, I would be shooting but I will try to take out some time and take my family out for a nice dinner or maybe some outing. Or else I will get some cakes. No plan as such for now but the important thing is to be together. My daughter is excited about Valentine’s day and she enjoys every occasion and every festival

Vijayendra Kumeria-  I was in school and very young and heard about valentines day for the first time in this movie called Dil Toh Pagal hai. For me, it’s a day dedicated to love. I do celebrate it but I also believe that one particular day for love is not enough and it’s also a marketing strategy. However, I still think it’s for couples.. for other relationships you have other days specially dedicated, why steal away their importance. Let Valentine’s be romantic and for me it’s dedicated to my wife only. If Preeti and I are in the same city then for sure we go out for a romantic dinner or I’ll cook something for a change.
