The past few months have seen actor Amrita Rao deal with rumours about her link-up with co-star Tusshar Kapoor. But while the actor laughs them off, insisting that she's very much single, she does admit that, 'being in love' is something that she looks forward to. "Of course, I'd love to be in love someday, but it's not something that you can go hunting for either. So, the wait for my Prince Charming continues," reveals Amrita.
She may be single, but that doesn't keep Amrita from celebrating Valentine's Day today. She reveals her plans for the day to After Hrs, "I plan to celebrate it with a bunch of very close friends." She is quick to add that despite her single status, she does not feel the 'love-pangs' at all. "We might have picked one day in the calender to celebrate love... but I choose everyday!" smiles Amrita, as she shares her love mantra. "I think our generation believes in making things happen and not in waiting for a day or a reason for things to happen," says Amrita. But that does not mean that she brushes aside V-day as just another day. Amrita still believes in the magic in the day as she says, "Yes, there's something special about Valentine's Day." So, what's the best Valentine's gift she's ever got? "A fan from Nagpur spent probably all his savings to gift me a guitar and waited outside my house for days just to present it to me! It was straight out of a romantic novel!" she gushes.
A die-hard romantic at heart, Amrita explains, "To be in love with every breath you take, flutter those dreamy eyes and flaunt that mooney smile every time your character falls in love on screen... oh, yes you got to be a 'helpless romantic' to transcend all that, each time with more conviction on screen!" But that's on screen. Off it, she does admit that being a celebrity takes a toll on personal relationships. "It's funny the way people link you up and then have imaginary break-ups too. It's hurtful. But I have always chosen not to make a daily soap of my personal life!"
What she doesn't mind revealing though is how she would want to be wooed by her Prince Charming... "I'd want my man to stop all traffic and propose to me in the middle of the Bandra-Worli sea link," she laughs as she signs off to celebrate the day.

Actor Hrithik Roshan says his wife, Sussanne has changed him in more ways than one and credits her for teaching him one of the most valuable lessons in life. The hunky actor recalls the day he had a big fight with his mom (he describes it as 'some sort of an argument') Pinky Roshan.
"When I was young, I was very stubborn. I'd never see the other person's point of view. I'd never saying sorry or apologise to anyone either. I clearly remember once I met Sussanne with a very long face and when she asked me, 'What's wrong?', I replied that I had an altercation with my mom and I was not too happy about it," Hrithik says, remembering the days when he was courting his girlfriend and now wife, Sussanne, a good decade back. Sussanne, he says, came up with a wonderful idea that at first, seemed to ridiculous to Hrithik.
"She told me to go and give my mother a big hug. In my family, we were never used to hugging each other. I don't know why but it was just something that we never did. But after Sussanne told me to do so I garnered enough courage and went up to the terrace where my mother was sitting. I walked up to her and hugged her tight. I could see tears rolling down her cheeks," says Hrithik.
The actor is now into the 10th year of his marriage to Sussanne and he says that it is this quality of his wife that has managed to keep the magic of their marriage intact. "It (the hug incident) was the most valuable thing that she taught me in my life. Even now, when we fight and then we decide to end it, it's just a matter of walking up to each other and giving each other a hug. Sussanne definitely changed me as a person and I must add that she has made me a better person," says Hrithik.
Even though she is a star wife, Sussanne has always avoided the limelight and Hrithik says that had she not been there, leading a normal life would have been very tough for him. "We actors always remain busy but with Sussanne being around, I know that everything in my life is taken care of. Sussanne manages me and my two children and the best part is that even before I wonder as to how she's going to handle so many things at once — it's all done," he concludes.

Akshay Kumar is flight-hopping from Dubai to Patiala gathering critical acclaim for his sensitive performance in Nikhil Advani's Patiala House. Despite such a hectic itinerary, the actor has made it a point to return home to wife Twinkle Khanna on Valentine's Day.
This handsome couple has spent a decade in marital bliss and Valentine’s is yet another occasion for them to seek each other out. Says Akshay, “Days like Valentine’s and our wedding anniversary definitely have a special significance. But honestly speaking my wife and I celebrate Val entine’s every week.”
The Hi-Fi (Hindi Film Industry) A-lister explains that it is 10 years since they married, but Twinkle and he do not take each other for granted. Says he, “When planning a vacation I bring the plastic globe in our home and rotate it in front of Tina (Twinkle). She has to just put her finger on a place and we fly there for our next holiday with our son Aarav. Twinkle knows her every wish is my command. Whatever she desires, be it diamonds, a car or a villa; she has to ask and it will be hers. But the beauty of the whole thing is, that in the decade gone by, I have realised that what my wife really craves for, is my time. She has made me promise that I will always spend quality time with her and Aarav.” So the Kumars have a set routine. Every weekend is a do-not-disturb affair. “On Saturdays we usually dine with Aarav. However, on Sundays it is just the two of us who go out for a romantic meal and a drive,” he smiles.
A little known fact about Akshay is that he has the image of an action hero. He has even done several comedies successfully. But somewhere deep within, the actor is very romantic. Says he, “If you see Patiala House, you will realise that the romantic scenes between Anushka and me are very subtle. These scenes were not even written down. We added them spontaneously. I have a romantic side to me that I don’t necessarily flaunt. I feel love whether it is on or off the screen cannot be scripted. It is something you have got to feel from within.” Now you know why Twinkle is one of the envied superstar wives. Her husband’s world definitely revolves around her.
