Love happens when it has to, and Yamini Malhotra is in no hurry. The Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin actor is often asked about why she is not seeing anyone as people expect someone as beautiful and independent as she is to be committed.
“I am single because I am yet to find someone. It is as simple as that. Don’t know why everybody thinks I should be committed by now. No one is ready to believe that I can be single. Such things do not happen just like that. And, I am not consciously staying single. Mera wala shayad kahin kho Gaya hai. The search is on though, probably I will meet him sometime soon,” she says.
Many feel that love and career these days put together a lot of pressure and that too in a city like Mumbai. So, what’s her take on relationships? “Acting Career and love life is a dangerous combination. The guy needs to have a lot of faith in his girl and also needs to support her to go and get the best. A jealous and over-possessive man can never be happy with an actress. The wrong guy would pull you down and add stress to your life. But the right guy would be your biggest cheerleader. So far, the media and audience have been very kind to me and my personal life has never been questioned or commented upon. I would like this positive phase to continue,” the actor adds.
About the kind of guy she would like to date, Yamini shares, “My kind of guy would be 6 ft tall, fairly handsome, well educated, most likely a corporate guy. He should be intelligent and super caring towards me and yes he should be a good human being above everything else. I am a sapiosexual. Intelligent conversations attract me.”
While she has never dated an actor, Yamini neither wishes to date one. “I would prefer a corporate guy instead. I think two actors together will only talk about auditions, roles, filmy gossip and then fashion, gym and beauty. I want someone from a different profession, where I see and learn about another world through his eyes,” she states.
