Kratika : TV stars, love and the Valentine's Day

How important is it to have love in your life?

(Laughs) Ah, well, everything should be balanced. Love is, of course, important. But it shouldn't be at the expense of all else. You shouldn't neglect everything and everyone else just to focus on the one you love. Your friends and others are important too. It's about striking a balance.

Do you believe love happens only once?

God no! Not at all! I'm doing a show called 'Punarvivah' which basically sends the message that you can fall in love again. So of course you can fall in love again. Even from personal experience I know that this is possible.

What's your idea of an ideal date?

I don't really know. I'll have to think real hard on that one. But I do think that a girl asking a guy out or pushing a guy to propose is really cool. It doesn't happen enough, to be honest. In fact it could be way cooler.

What do you think about setting aside a special day to celebrate love?

I think it's all crap. There shouldn't be a special day for this. There's father's day, mother's day, children's day' It's all unnecessary, these special days set aside for things or people. Only birthdays and anniversaries are fine. Otherwise, everyday should be special and each day should be a celebration of your father, your mother, your children and love. For the other 364 days do you not love your love? So no, I don't believe in Valentine's Day.
