Stars wish for moonlit walks and candlelit dinners. Read on... V-Day spl
It's that time of the year again when love is in the air. Be it singles or couples, Valentine's Day brings with it a reason to celebrate for each and everyone.
Here's how some Bollywood stars are planning to celebrate Valentines' Day this year on February 14:
NANDANA SEN (Black / Tango Charlie/ My Wife's Murder)
I'm in New York, so I will be spending the Valentine’s Day with my friends here. All of us are going out for dinner and will enjoy the evening listening to live music, which is usually the norm out here.
Love is...
...the only thing or you could say emotion, that makes us want to live our life with hope, fear, joy, happiness and sharing.
My idea of romance...
...is never to let it slip out of a relationship. To elaborate it I would like to say that one must go out of the way to love a person, be it your parents, friends or else your lover.
Best gift
I'm not too materialistic in nature, so for me the best gift would be unconditional love. And the same applies for the person that I would like to gift. Love cannot and should never be measured by gifts and that is the true beauty of love!
MAUSHAMI UDESHI (Lips)
Valentine’s Day this year will be a bit lonely for me. As you know after having such a beautiful relationship with Vikram Bawa for four long years, parting was the most difficult part. However, no complaints and I will be celebrating the day with my family just like another normal day.
Love is...
...understanding and adjusting to make life beautiful. It is a beautiful feeling to someone is always there for you.
My idea of romance...
...is to always be there for the person you love, irrespective of what the future holds for you.
Best gift
Trust is the best gift one can give to each other. I strongly believe so. Love should always be a long term option and not just a fling.

NISHA KOTHARI (
Sarkar/ James/ Darna Zaroori Hai/ Shiva/ Go
)
To be honest I have never celebrated Valentine’s Day in particular because for me every day is a loving day! And since I have no love life right now, it will be just another day for me full of love. Yes, this year I am going to buy red roses for myself (laughs). I like the colour and find it immensely attractive. I do feel good when I see all red all over the place on this special day.”
Love is...
...the most pure feeling without any prejudice.
My idea of romance...
I am very romantic. My idea of romance is spending time with your loved one, walking down the beach on a moonlit night with soft music playing in the background. Then have a nice candlelit dinner…ummmm that sounds so romantic!
Best gift
Red roses and kisses is the best gift that I would prefer and would like to give to the person I love. Isn’t that what every lover looks forward to?
SAMITA BANGARGI (Ramji Londonwale/ Shaadi Ka Ladoo)
Last year was so beautiful when Aashish surprised me by taking me to Khandala. He wooed me with a romantic dinner in the wild with a special chef cooking for us. There was music playing all around, it was so beautiful. This is our first Valentine’s Day as husband and wife but sadly enough we both are busy with our work schedules. Let us see if we can steal some time together. Then as a loving housewife I would love to cook for him (smiles).
Love is...
...friendship! When in love, one should not pretend to be someone that you are not to please your beloved.
My idea of romance...
...is being with Aashish, dining and spending real quality time together.
Best gift
The best gift that I have given to Aashish is myself! The same applies to me too!
KOEL PURIE (White Noise/ Mixed Doubles):
It is a big secret! Hahaha … . Really my Valentine’s Day is a big secret and even I don’t know it yet. There is an anonymous man, who I am going to spend my day with…. ummmmm so it is really a big secret (gives a hearty laugh).”
Love is...
...beauty in the strangest form! It has many meanings though and prominent among them to me is happiness and beauty.
My idea of romance...
...is no compromises at all. That is a bit difficult to understand but to be romantic one must have the best and only the best. I strongly believe so.
Best gift
No greetings for me and the best gift one can give me is wooing me in great style. I believe one must love in great style (smiles).
SONALI KULKARNI (Taxi No 9 2 11 / Dansh / Darna Zaroori Hai):
I will be in Pune on Valentine’s Day. Aashay Film Club is holding a retrospective of all my films, so I will be busy in open interviews with cinema students and media.
Love is...
...everything. It is oxygen - mandatory for living. It is too important in one’s life.
My idea of romance...
...is to be spontaneous. I love surprises and an unexpected company can make me feel real romantic.
Best gift
It is simple things in life that matter to me the most as gifts. It depends on what mood I am in. However, flowers are always a welcome sight!
SHREYAS TALPADE (Iqbal/ Apna Spana Money Money Money):
No plans as such on this Valentine’s Day! Last year I was shooting and I am lucky to have such an understanding wife in Deepti, who understands me so well. I respect the day but then love is to be enjoyed every single day. I may surprise her by taking her out for a lovely dinner and gift her something that she loves so much.
Love is...
...a mixture of emotions. Love to me is Deepti, my wife, who has taken over my life completely.
My idea of romance...
My idea of romance is spending special time and fulfilling all the wishes of Deepti. I must say, she takes all the pain to fulfil all my wishes knowing my hectic and erratic schedule (smiles). She is just so cute!
Best gift
Faith, understanding and respect are the best gifts that any one can ever ask for!
AFTAB SHIVDASANI (Shaadi Se Pehle/ Ankahi/ Speed):
No plans for this Valentine’s Day because I am busy shooting for Speed.
Love is...
...genuineness in relationship!
My idea of romance...
...is to be away from this hectic life with your beloved and have a nice candle lit dinner.
Best gift
No material can give me the joy because I am not a materialistic guy. I strongly believe to be one girl’s man and that is the best gift you can give to your love.
SONAL SEHGAL (U Me N Bomsi):
Valentine’s Day is for greeting card companies, florists and those sweet gift shops. I really don’t believe in this concept because love is not a commercial thing unlike what we have made it today. No I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day because for me every single day is a loving day because I am a very romantic person by nature!
Love is...
...oxygen, necessary and very essential to live one’s life!
My idea of romance...
is a big surprise… . It turns me on!
Best gift
It is the small, small things that matter to me so much. I am not crazy about material things.
