The best romantic surprise:  Vishal surprised me one V-Day with diamond jewellery. He came to the set unannounced with a cake, flowers and the jewellery. I was so happy and overwhelmed, I started shouting.

Does marriage dampen romance? I don’t think so. It depends on the bonding and understanding between the two.

The best romantic surprise: Last year, I surprised my wife Pooja with a Dubai trip on February 18, which is our wedding anniversary. Initially, she didn’t believe I was serious about the trip. A special message for your partner: I want to thank Pooja for loving me and accepting me the way I am. The perfect gift from your partner: Her unconditional love is the best gift. Does marriage dampen romance? Not at all; for us, real romance began after marriage.

Memory lane

The best romantic surprise:  I surprise my wife Amrutha ever year, so I want her to return the favour this time. A couple of years ago, when Amrutha was my girlfriend, I took her to a hotel in the city. I had decorated the room with flowers, candles and a collage of our photographs together. She was so thrilled she started jumping around. The venue was special as that is where we had first met while participating in a reality show. A special message for your partner: I want to tell her that I will be with her through thick and thin. There will be good times and bad, but I will stand by her. The perfect gift from your partner: The ideal gift would be home-cooked food.  Does marriage dampen romance? I have been married only for a couple of weeks, so I may not be the right person to answer this. But so far, it feels the same.

Love’s sake
Janvi Vora
The best romantic surprise:  I gifted Ritesh a car and he surprised me with a solitaire in a wine glass. Both of us were left speechless by each other’s gesture.  A special message for your partner: I want Ritesh to know that with him, every day is Valentine’s Day for me.  The perfect gift from your partner: I want to start a business, so the ideal gift would be helping me with that.  Does marriage dampen romance? We are as romantic now as we were before our wedding. Nothing has changed.
