The ideal Ladies Man' Shantanu Maheshwari, better known as Swayam' from Channel V's immensely popular youth show Dil Dostii Dance, gets candid with urlremoved about Valentine's Day, for our Valentine's week special!
What is your concept of Love'?
Well, I don't really have a concept for love, as it just happens when it has to happen. You don't decide when to fall in love. So ya, love just happens...
What does Valentine's Day mean to you? And do you celebrate days like rose day, propose day, chocolate day etc?
Umm, okay so to be honest, Valentine's Day doesn't mean anything to me! As I feel that, one doesn't need a day to celebrate love, because everyday can be celebrated that way. I think that Archies' is the one thing that signifies Valentine's Day though! (Laughs). And no I have never celebrated all these rose, propose days etc.
Any school or college Valentine's Day memories you can share with us?
(Laughs again!). So I was in an only boys school which obviously didn't give us any scope to celebrate Valentine's Day, and when I came to college, I was never in college really, so yes, sadly no such celebrations.
One thing you would wish for, to be gifted on Valentine's Day?
Umm... well if someone were to gift me something, it should be according to what they think of me. Or something that reminds them of me. As that would be meaningful. Though, there is nothing I would really expect as such for a gift.
What are your Valentine's Day plans this year?
(Laughs). I won't be celebrating Valentine's Day as I never have. Though yes my schedule will comprise of shooting, shooting and shooting!

A message for all your fans and everybody out there who is all set to celebrate Valentine's Day?
