Rajeev n Gaurav Article-Commitment phobic

Dating someone or having affairs is no big deal, but when it comes to marriage or serious commitment many guys have butterflies in their stomach. Some of the notable celebrities like Hollywood actors like Hugh Grant and George Clooney and even our very own Salman Khan are yet to marry even though they have crossed their 40s. Hugh Grant has even recently admitted that he is reluctant to marry as he thinks that the couples will lose their passion for each other after they wed. While many guys do not admit to having a commitment phobia, they often give the excuse that they are yet to find the right girl. We spoke to some of our TV actors who have crossed their 30s but are not involved in a long standing commitment for their views.

Gaurav Chopraa

Parents have been pushing me to marry but I haven't yet found the right woman. It is true that I have parted ways with Narayani Shastri, whom I have been dating for sometime, but it is not because I am afraid of commitment, but more so as our wavelengths were not matching.
I want the woman in my life to have a mind of her own, share the same dreams and she can be from any field. She should be intelligent, have good tastes and most importantly, should be excited about leading her life with me. Ideally, she should be a best friend and a good partner.

Rajeev Khandelwal

I will not say that I am commitment phobic but it is true that being single, I have the opportunity to do a lot of things and there is more freedom. Till I turn 35, I do not think I will go for marriage, as I want to achieve certain things in life. Also I am not ready for long-term commitment at the moment. However in future I definitely want to get married and be a one woman man and make her feel special. I think, a permanent relationship like a marriage needs space, warmth and companionship.
