Sukirti Khandpal, Karan Tacker go on a blind date

Not everyone jumps at the idea of being set up on a blind date but when HitList approached TV actors Sukirti Khandpal and Karan Tacker to go on a blind date, the duo sportingly agreed to be part of this special Valentine's Day feature. Minutes before the two met, a curious Sukirti asked us if her date was cute and when she saw Karan standing in front of her soon after, she let out a whoop of joy. Now that's what pleasant surprises are all about. It must be mentioned here that it was Sukirti who arrived for her date on time. Karan walked in a little late but he made it a point to apologise. Excerpts from their banter:

Sukirti Khandpal (SK): I have never been on such a date and I didn't know what to expect. I have not been on a date for four years now.

Karan Tacker (KT): In this city's hustle and bustle, I have not had the time to date. I haven't dated anyone in the past four years either.

KT: I get turned on when someone caresses my neck. However, body odour, facial hair and dirty feet are a no-no.
SK: I agree that dirty feet are a big turn-off. Intelligence is a turn on.
KT: I am an intelligent guy, so I should be the perfect choice for you.

KT: I am an absolutely romantic person, so I am happy to root for Valentine's Day. Days like these add the zing to one's relationship.
SK: I may not be seeing anyone but yes, it is something I look forward to as well.

KT: We first met in a studio when I was shooting for Rang Badalti Oodhani. I think we were drinking tea outside our room.
SK: Yes, I remember I was shooting for the show, Pyaar Ki Ek Kahani. Back then, I would indulge in crazy antics.

KT: We know each other for five years now. Back then, I had a store in Lokhandwala and she would come there to buy clothes. I remember telling myself that she is a cute girl.
SK: Yes, he would just hang out at the store in the evenings because he wanted to check out girls who'd drop in.

SK: A decade ago, I bunked an early morning shift - I think my reporting time was 8 am - because I wanted to meet my boyfriend. I spent all morning with him and finally went to work at 2pm!
KT: I was just eighteen when I was dating this girl and I enjoyed chatting with her so much that we were on the phone the whole night. At 4 am, I asked her if she wanted to go to Lonavla and when she agreed, I picked her up and headed to Lonavla. In the morning over a plate of steaming hot noodles and a cup of tea, I expressed my love to her.
