Bijal Joshi who essays the role of Bindu Desai in Ladies Special  

“Valentine’s Day is meant to be celebrated with your loved ones and to cherish all the happy moments together. If you ask me, this day is dedicated to my family, especially my parents who I love the most in this world. This year I am also planning to celebrate with some special people – the kids at the orphanage near my place. The love that they give you is unmatched.”

 

Sahil Chaddha who essays the role of Viraaj 

 "Love is a pure feeling which should be felt and celebrated daily. It could be with anyone - your parents, siblings or your spouse. And I believe in enjoying each day with the people I love. Talking about Valentine’s, I have this funny memory from my college days that I will always remember. Everyone used to come dressed in red clothes and the entire campus looked like a sea of people in red. It was really funny.”

 

Girija Oak who essays the role of Meghna

“My real life husband, Suhrud, believes that these fancy days are just a business strategy so he doesn’t buy me any gifts. This year, I have decided to satisfy my materialistic self by asking my onscreen husband Mandar for a gift and I’m sure to receive one because he is very scared of me as opposed to Suhrud. Also there is this one memory of Valentine’s Day from the year when I was shooting Taare Zameen Par. Whenever someone used to ask me what are my plans for Valentine’s back then, I used to reply saying I am going to spend it with Aamir Khan. The number of jaws that dropped back then, I will never forget.”

 

Namish Taneja who essays the role of  Samar in Main Maayke Chali Jaungi Tum Dekhte Rahiyo  

“Valentine’s is all about love and spending time with your loved ones. The two people I love the most in this world are my mother and father and I would like to spend this day with them. I plan to do everything possible  to make them feel special . Also, since I am working this Valentine’s Day, I will also celebrate this day with the cast and crew on the sets as they deserve all the love and I will utilize this one day to thank all of them for making this show a hit and for creating my character Samar who is loved by all.”

 

Ruslaan Mumtaz who essays the role of Dhruv Raichand in Main Maayke Chali Jaungi Tum Dekhte Rahiyo 

 “Valentine’s Day is all about love and I love my work. Me and my wife had to cancel our Maldivian outing as I am going to be shooting that day. We plan to make it up by going to dinner post shoot. For those who don’t know, I got married on Valentine’s Day. I still remember I was working a night shift and my shoot got over at 10 am and I had to reach the court at 12 pm. I finished the shoot and headed straight to court, sleeping on my way and I still remember I was continuously dreaming about getting married to my now wife in my subconscious state. It was a beautiful experience.”

 

Ashi Singh who essays the role of Naina in Yeh Un Dino ki Baat Hain

“I believe that Valentine’s Day is to spread love. Like every other year, this year too I will be spending it with my family and friends. Last year I made a card for my mother. This year it might be a dinner with my family. Talking about Valentine’s Day plans of my onscreen character, I don’t think Sameer and Naina need a special day to celebrate Valentine’s Day as they always keep on doing something or the else for each other out of love.”

 

Randeep Singh who essays the role of Sameer in Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai 

 “I don’t believe in Valentine’s day concept, because there shouldn’t be one day dedicated to express your love. But yes, I would surely want to spend the day with my close friends. Though we will be busy shooting for Sameer Naina’s wedding sequence, I’ll try squeezing out time for my friends. And, in terms of Sameer and Naina, they are each other’s forever valentine, they don’t need a day and moreover during the 90’s valentine’s day was not so famous and celebrated.”

 

Paridhi Sharma who essays the role of Babita in Patiala Babes 

 

“I don’t think there should be just one specific day where you celebrate love with your better half. This day can be celebrated each and every day by showing respect, love and compassion towards each other. I also believe that Valentine’s day is not just for people who are romantically involved. This day is for every relationship which is based on love and care for example a mother-daughter relationship as seen on my show Patiala Babes.”

 

Akanksha Puri who essays the role of Goddess Parvati in Vighnaharta Ganesh 

“I believe love should be celebrated every moment of everyday and not restricted to one day in a year also If you have someone to love you every day feels like a valentine. Having said that, this year’s Valentine’s day is special for me as my love, Paras, has given me my gift already. He got my name inked on his wrist and I am feeling on top of the world. I believe it is only the blessings of Vighnaharta Ganesh that I have now.
