With Valentine’s Day around the corner, actress Delnaaz Irani opens up about love, relationships, and how the meaning of romance has evolved in the social media era. Known for her warmth and authenticity, Delnaaz believes that love isn’t about grand gestures or online validation—it’s about deep connection, understanding, and shared moments that go beyond the digital world.

For Delnaaz, celebrating love isn’t about extravagant displays but about intimate, meaningful moments. “Percy and I love keeping our celebrations personal—whether it’s a cozy dinner at home, reminiscing about our journey, or just enjoying each other’s company without distractions,” she shares. “Love is in the laughter, the little gestures, and the feeling of being completely yourself with your partner.” In a world where relationships are often measured by social media posts and public declarations, Delnaaz feels that the essence of love is being lost.


“People feel pressured to prove their love online, but love isn’t about likes or comments—it’s about how two people truly feel when no one is watching,” she says. According to her, real relationships thrive in private moments, not in curated online perfection. The actress admits that the charm of old-school love, where emotions were kept private and gestures were heartfelt, is becoming rare. However, she strongly believes that such love still exists.

“Old-school love was about handwritten notes, long phone conversations, and a deep, soulful connection. Percy and I share that kind of bond—it’s not about constant updates but about silent support, inside jokes, and unwavering presence in each other’s lives,” she reveals. Grand romantic gestures have now become more about trends than genuine emotions, Delnaaz observes. “There’s so much pressure to make everything Instagram-worthy that sometimes the true essence of love gets lost. A simple cup of tea made with love or a heartfelt note means more than any viral trend,” she says.


For those seeking love in today’s fast-paced world, Delnaaz offers heartfelt advice: “Love is not about perfection, it’s about connection. Don’t chase a fairytale that fits social media standards—look for someone who makes you feel safe, valued, and respected. The strongest relationships aren’t built on grand declarations but on everyday kindness, patience, and understanding.” Despite the influence of social media and changing dynamics, Delnaaz firmly believes that love in its purest form still exists. “True love is timeless—it’s in the way someone listens to you, stands by you, and chooses you every day. Even in today’s world, real love is out there; you just have to look beyond the noise and find someone who speaks to your soul. I feel incredibly blessed to have found that with Percy.”
