Does marriage change the way we perceive love? Is Valentine’s Day brutal for singles, what sort of boundaries are essential in relationships and more. It’s the month of love, and we got fab-abs couple Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover, who tied the knot in 2016, to talk all things romantic. Excerpts...
At what point in your relationship did you realise that he’s ‘the one’ and she’s ‘the one’ for me, for life?
Bipasha: We went through a crazy courtship. It was like a film where we were together, then not together, and in and out of the relationship because of family, responsibilities, society. There was this time when I took a strong decision of going away from him. That’s when it hit me hard. I realised that he is the person that I love and can’t do without. Till then, I wasn’t clear. I thought I had lost him and that feeling was a wake-up call. It made me realise that he is my everything. And this is the love story of my life.
Karan: I listen to everyone, but I don’t share what’s going on in my heart easily. I don’t share my innermost feelings with anybody. With her, I was suddenly expressing everything I felt. The connect was organic and this is what we all wait for our whole lives. When you get it and don’t recognise it, you are stupid. I might make a lot of mistakes and I could be silly, but I am not stupid. I recognised it and that made me realise that I love her.
One rarely speaks of married couples on Valentine’s Day. It’s always about fancy proposals, young love and confessions. Married couples aren’t romanticized enough, isn’t it?
Karan: I don’t think that married couples are overlooked on Valentine’s Day. It’s about sharing and celebrating love and not just romance. Romance is a small part of what love truly means. There are many depths and dimensions to love which you understand only after marriage.
Bipasha: All throughout my life, this has been a day when I send flowers to my mother, and my parents have their own celebration. We wish our sisters and have family dinners. It’s a day of love and it’s for the entire family. We don’t make it just about Karan and me.
Does marriage, living with someone and getting too familiar with your partner’s ways, change how we perceive love?
Bipasha: You should not take your partner for granted but there is definitely a sense of comfort that creeps in when you are living together. As a team, you are more chilled out and laid back. You want to watch a movie together at home and eat some great food rather than succumbing to the quintessential idea of romance — candle-light dinners, flowers, etc. The stuff that you see in the movies. Marriage makes you more comfortable with each other.
Karan: And well, that’s not a bad thing. I have not heard anyone complaining, “Oh man! I hate my life because it’s comfortable.” (laughs!)
Sometimes, a day like this isn’t too kind to singles, puts a kind of a pressure on them, too. Did you feel this way when you were single?
Bipasha: I think it’s got something to do with our society. I do have friends and family where single girls sometimes feel that their one big aim is to find a life partner. That’s the way we are often raised. We are made to believe that until we don’t find a life partner, our life is incomplete. That’s flawed. You need to celebrate who you are, your achievements, work, people in your life... everything. I want to tell all the singles that there’s nothing that they need to feel sad about. Just celebrate yourself. I’ve never felt low on V-Day when I was single. I used to pamper myself a lot. My girlfriends and I celebrated Galentine’s Day. There is no dearth of love in life. It doesn’t have to only come from a man for a woman and vice versa. As long as you have love in your life, be it self-love, or family and friends, you have to be grateful for what you have.
Karan: I never felt low on V-Day when I was single either. Lot of people say that they aren’t happy because they haven’t found love. But what needs to change is how you look at yourself. If you like who you are, you will attract people who will love you, too.
We often see love being expressed with diamonds, hearts and roses. But the real joy lies in the smaller things, doesn’t it? What has been the biggest revelation about love for you two over the years?
Bipasha: Diamonds, hearts, roses, balloons… I can never complain about them. I love it all and Karan is well aware of that. He has surprised me with all these lovely gestures, but it all would mean nothing if there wasn’t love behind it. I know that he loves me to death. The intention is what matters more, and yes, the real joy lies in the smaller things like remembering what the other person likes. He writes poems for me. He packages it in a lovely scroll. We are khadadus. We eat everything. I make cakes and desserts for us. We play Ludo together. We pine for each other when we are away and happy when reunited. We have been together for six-and-a-half years and it has always been this way.
Karan: We are quite lame! Even if I am painting or doing something upstairs in our house and we haven’t seen each other for hours, we video call each other to say, ‘I miss you’. This is true. We both are romantic at heart and we both are vocal about it. She is funny and we can make each other laugh and that’s the best part about our relationship.
What is the biggest love myth that people shouldn’t fall for?
Bipasha: You often hear people saying that, ‘work on your marriage, work on your relationship’, but it has been quite effortless for us. There’s a connect. There’s no effort that we need to take to make our marriage better or keep the spark alive. We have a strong foundation of friendship and that is integral to love. As Karan said before, ‘Romance is just a small part of what love truly means’. I love biryani, but if you keep it in front of me and Karan isn’t eating, it won’t taste that good! Over the years, I have realised that Karan will first say ‘no’ to everything and then say ‘yes’.
Karan: That is true. If I am not around or I am not eating something, she won’t enjoy it either. I honestly keep trying to be better for her because she is perfect at everything she does!
Have you set any boundaries about what not to say during an argument, when things go sour?
Bipasha: There are disagreements, but there are ways to communicate. Screaming and shouting is not a solution, we never say hurtful or nasty things to each other. Never forget the respect you have for the person. I don’t like abusive words.
Karan: Yes, refrain from using abusive words when there’s a disagreement. Talk it out.
Who among the two apologizes first when there’s a fight and how important is it to be forgiving in a relationship?
Karan: The person who is wrong should apologize. That person in this relationship is always me because Bipasha is always right. And I am not exaggerating. It’s true that she is never wrong and it’s frustrating. I apologize whenever we fight because it is always my fault. I tell myself that don’t make the same mistakes, make different mistakes and apologize (laughs!).
Bipasha: It is important to be forgiving in relationships because you can’t keep dragging things. In our case, Karan makes more mistakes (laughs!). But yes, if a person has understood what he/she has done wrong, there’s no point bringing it up. Having said that, an apology is useless if the same mistake is repeated and it becomes an excuse. I detest the word sorry. I believe it was invented by people who were looking for an easy way out. Karan knows I hate that word and it’s always been this way.
Karan: Yes, I don’t say sorry to her. I say hello (laughs!) .

Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover Share Their Journey of Love
By Simrit Tiwana
13 February 2021
From the moment the conversation starts, the chemistry between actors Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover is almost palpable. “We really miss each other when we are not together,” confesses Bipasha as she tells us how she and Karan like to spend as much time as they can with each other. Looking back at their journey of love, what strikes you the most is how in sync they are as a couple, even while stating opposite viewpoints, and how they constantly endeavour to lift each other up and confess a mutual admiration of the qualities they possess. On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Cosmo India sits down for a candid chat with Bipasha and Karan as they spill the tea on their relationship, from the challenges at the start to the fun story of their proposal, the love, the laughter, their cherished memories and more.
On how they first met
“It was at the reading of our film Alone and on set thereafter,” shares Bipasha. “I don’t think we ever had that quintessential first date. We connected from day one on set, we could talk to each other all the time, it built into a very strong friendship, a connection we could both lean on. Ours was not the normal boy-meets-girl love story, it was very dramatic.”
“The first time we went out together was with our friends Rocky (S) and Diane,” Karan tells us. “We went out to Indigo as a bunch of friends, hanging out together.”
“We were always friends first,” emphasises Bipasha. “That’s the foundation of our bond, we listen to each other, share everything, and want to spend all our time together. The people in our life find it a little lame’, she laughs, “but that’s what we essentially are, the best of friends.”
On knowing they had met ‘the one’
“ I was never one to share my innermost feelings,” says Karan. “I listen to everyone, but when it comes to my own thoughts, I never open up. With her, it just happened automatically, and when I realised I could talk to her about anything, it made my heart skip a beat. She is gorgeous of course, that goes without saying. I was feeling something I had been waiting for my whole life, and I decided that I was never going to let it go.”
For Bipasha, It took some time to acknowledge her feelings. “We had this strong bond, and there was this tremendous attraction,” she shares, “but I was in constant denial and always wanting to shut it down. There was a lot of separating and coming back together, I even decided to put an end to it at one point. When he went away, that’s when I realised I couldn’t function without him. He was the person I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. He makes me happy and I felt incomplete without him. That’s when I knew he was the one for me.”
The fireworks behind the proposal
For Bipasha, getting married was never about societal pressure, she wanted to do it for the right reasons. When the proposal did come, it caught her a tad off guard.
"It was the 31st of December 2015”, says Karan as he looks back on the day. “ We were in Koh Samui, and we were making a video of the fireworks as we wished all of our friends. Bipasha was filming, and I just started blabbering all these things, then I went down on my knees and asked her if she wanted to be with me for the rest of her life.”
“I couldn’t understand what was happening till I saw the ring pop up in my frame!” Bipasha exclaims.
“ She didn’t say anything for ten minutes, she was just crying as I waited on my knees,” Karan adds comically. “ People around us thought I was troubling her! And then suddenly, she said okay!”
And while Bipasha hid her hand and didn’t look at her ring for the next half an hour, she eventually couldn’t get enough of it.
“ She kept crying as she looked at it, telling me how happy she was”, laughs Karan. “It was the cutest thing, almost how a small child would react. The best part is that we have it all on camera.”
On rolling down a hill together
“ We have done a lot of ridiculous things, but they bring us a lot of joy,” says Bipasha, looking back at their time together at Ananda in Rishikesh. “ While we were at the spa, I told Karan I had never rolled down a mountain, so he took me to this small hill and we both went rolling down together. He was quite graceful and went absolutely straight. I, on the other hand, was all over the place, and went right into a tree! The people around us were wondering what the hell was going on, but we had an absolute blast!”
On their plans for Valentine’s Day
According to Karan, it is Bipasha who has taught him the art of celebrating occasions. “ I never celebrated anything or took photographs before I met her,” he shares. “ After meeting her, I have discovered the joy of celebration. We celebrate every small thing together, like today we’re celebrating Thursday!”
“ He’s made some beautiful surprises for me over the years,” Bipasha fondly looks back. “He writes me beautiful poetry every Valentine’s Day, with calligraphy on a scroll, and puts it in my flowers. I have framed many of them as well. Once, he festooned the whole house with flowers and balloons and surprised me. For me, Valentine’s Day is about everyone I love and my family as well. A couple of years ago, Karan wrote the women in my family and all my friends some quotes as well. We like to celebrate love with everyone we love. Then we will go out to dinner, laugh and have fun together.”
" There are so many small, everyday gestures Bipasha does for me,” Karan adds. “I just need to think of something and it is already done for me, she is amazing like that.”
On Keeping the spark alive
For both Karan and Bipasha, their friendship with each other and mutual respect is key.
“My partner should inspire me,” Bipasha affirms. “He should be somebody I respect, my go-to person. I should be able to share everything with him.”
“She knows me better than I know myself,” says Karan. “It may be a strange thing to say but it’s true, and it deepens our bond further. If somebody really knows you, knows your soul, they become a part of you.”
The one thing they love about each other
“ There is a childlike innocence about Karan,” Bipasha explains. “He loves animals and insects, interacts with them and protects them. His heart is very sensitive and I really love that, because I am a person who is all heart, and I needed someone like him. Love drives me and love drives him, our core is the same.”
For Karan, being with Bipasha takes all his worries away. “It’s almost like a superpower when you spend time with her, all the heaviness and anything negative falls away. She makes you understand the value of loving yourself. We keep each other laughing throughout the day, there is never a dull moment.”
On pet peeves
"Karan has a million things in his hands in his pockets, he likes stones, crystals, accessories and he has so many diaries—one is his gratitude journal, one is a notebook to draw in,” laughs Bipasha.”When you call Karan from one place to another, he takes 15 minutes to collect these things, even within the house, it’s like a personal production. He is also an amazing artist, but when he finishes there is paint on everything, on the couches, walls, his clothes!”
“What I love about her is also my pet peeve, she is always right about everything”, confesses Karan. “It can get quite irritating, there are times when I feel I am right and it always turns out I am not”, he laughs. “I can’t really blame her for always being right, I just have to live with it.”
