“I can’t have those WhatsApp love and weekend loves. Stability, respect, space, trust, taking out time for each other, being there for each other in tough times and holding hands are what true love is all about,” he says before talking about how social media has blurred the lines between real and fake, and therefore made it harder to find love.
“We all have become a slave to social media. The constant pressure of showing someone that you are working hard, working on a new project, sharing new and innovative pictures everyday… 90% of all these are fake. Filters have taken over real beauty. People have become perfectly body-obsessed, trolling and demeaning people. It’s a very sad state of affairs. I believe in giving time to your lover or loved ones and that’s what I learned from my parents. I don’t believe in timepass love. Either you are serious or not. You can’t be in-between like ‘Chalo dekh lete hai ki kya hota hai’… This whole thing about going with the flow has destroyed relationships,” he adds.
