everywhere, but when the woman is older, she’s

called ‘desperate’ and a ‘buddhi’. For people

who think like this, I have just one line: Take a

flying f***.

Have you ever been on a dating/hook-up app?

Or did you find love too soon for that?

(Laughs) No, no, no! I’ve never been on one and I

never intend to be on one! It is just not my space.

For me, these things need to happen organically.

I can’t be swiping left, right, and centre for love!

How is your son reacting to the

relationship?

I believe the best way to approach any situation

is with honesty. It’s important to tell your near

and dear ones what’s happening in your life and

then give them time and space to understand

and process things. We have had that

conversation and I am so glad that everyone is in

a much happier and more honest space today.

So, when is the big day?

(Smiles). That, I am not going to answer. It’s

really personal...

DON’T BE SCARED! GIVE IT

MAY BE EVEN A THIRD OR

FOURTH OR FIFTH!”
