An old-school romantic at heart, actress Sneha Jain, who is currently seen in the Colors show Megha Barsenge, says that we need to get that kind of love back. She adds that while she is single at the moment, she would love to celebrate Valentine’s Day privately.
“We are definitely missing the old-school romance—writing letters, meeting secretly, and taking out even 10-15 minutes just to see each other. Love used to be private and exciting. Now, everything is out there, with the focus on making reels and posts rather than truly experiencing the moment. Earlier, love was about cherishing moments for yourself, but now, people feel the need to showcase everything online. The real essence of love is being lost in the process,” she says.
She adds, “I would love to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but for that, I need a partner, which I don’t have at the moment. If I were in a relationship, I would prefer something private and meaningful over a public display.”
Talking about the role of social media in relationships today, she says, “Social media is a big risk factor in relationships. Everything looks perfect online, but real life can be completely different. I see couples posting perfect pictures, but behind the scenes, their reality might be the opposite. Instead of focusing on creating the perfect post, we should focus on building a strong relationship.”
She adds, “A lot of people are following trends and copying what they see online just to make reels, rather than doing things for genuine love. Romance should come from the heart, not from what’s trending on social media.”
She says that people need to be more honest about their feelings. “Love should be about emotions, connection, and understanding—not just about creating a picture-perfect life for social media. Don’t let temporary distractions ruin something meaningful. When there’s a fight in a relationship, people now start talking to someone else or comparing partners, which damages trust. Instead, work on your relationship and prioritize real happiness over virtual validation,” she says.
She adds, “Sadly, the existence of true and pure love has decreased. People are more passionate about life, fame, and success rather than love. Social media feeds our minds with unrealistic expectations, which can spoil relationships. But despite all this, I still believe in love, and I am waiting for my special someone to enter my life and share a beautiful, genuine relationship with me.”
