Shrenu Parikh the talented actress who has made her fans proud with her acting prowess in shows Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon – Ek Baar Phir, Ishqbaaaz, Sarvagunn Sampanna etc is happy to be celebrating Valentine’s Day in her own way.
In a candid chat with IWMBuzz.com, Shrenu talks of the importance of this day and on her plans.
Who will be your Valentine this year?
Every year, I am asked the same question. But till the time I actually find my true soulmate, I will always want my loved ones to be my Valentine. This year, it has to be my fans because they have missed me so much, and so have I.
What is the significance of this day for you?
I feel we forget to express our love for our dear ones amid the pressures of daily life. So the significance of this day for me is to say ‘I Love You’ to my loved ones.
Do you believe in celebrating it for the whole of Valentine’s week? If yes take us through the plans that you put in place.
Well, there were no plans like that. But if you are asking me about celebrating Valentine’s week, I think I should be celebrating this whole year as Valentine’s Year. We have all lost out on 2020 so badly, that I think we have to celebrate this whole year with love, compassion, basically celebrate life overall. I look forward to this year with gratefulness, with love and lots and lots of work and happiness.
Do you have any cute/strange Valentine’s experience where you have been proposed? If yes tell us about it.
I have never been proposed on Valentine’s Day or even been given chocolate on the day. During my college life, when there was this Vegetable Day, I used to get ‘Karela’ or ‘Methi’ as gifts because somehow I had this image of being unapproachable (laughs). So I have never been asked out.
What will your reaction be if someone does propose to you this year?
I will be very happy if someone does. I really don’t know how the feeling will be when someone proposes to you.
Who will you give a rose to on Rose Day?
I am actually not a rose person. So I will say maybe my parents or my loved ones. If I give, I will believe in giving a virtual rose. I am not for plucking flowers at all.
Who will get chocolate on Chocolate Day?
Over the last few months, I have had my staff members and a lot of people who have got associated with me on a collaboration basis. I would like to give them chocolates as a ‘Thank you’ gesture in addition to paying them.
And who will get a Teddy from you?
I think all my fans have to get teddies. They have prayed for me, and have loved me so much, even when I came up with my YouTube channel. So I think teddies will be for them. Actually, roses, chocolates, and teddies will go to them.
Your message to your fans this Valentine’s Day will be
Guys, Say I Love You often, hug people more and be expressive. Life is short and one needs to live life the fullest. Be thankful and have a Happy Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine’s Day, folks!!
