Actress Niharica Raizada, love is more to do with how happy and fulfilled someone, who is dear to us, is, rather than them being an active part of our lives. She says that possessing someone is not her idea of loving them.
“Love, for me, is an unconditional feeling of happiness and fulfilment. Seeing happiness in the lives of those I adore is what love means to me. I am someone who does not believe in possessing someone, or just being with someone, just because I love them. Even if they are not an active part of my life, but they are content where they are, that is enough for me,” she says.
Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate with your loved ones, be it your family, friends or anyone special who is close to your heart. She adds that love changes as we grow in life. “Love changes and grows, and so does your relationship with your significant other. The idea of celebration of love is very beautiful and we should do it more often than not, because life is nothing without love,” she says.
She adds, “Love is fun, and we should always have that zeal, passion, fun, and something that gives us excitement in our lives. My learning is: love is about letting go, love is about detachment. Love is about not getting attached to something or someone emotionally.When we do try and control the one we love, the situation aggravates, when we let go it gravitates towards us, stronger and firmer.”
