How to third wheel on Valentine’s Day in Kolkata

Valentine’s Day doesn’t always have to be about couples. In a city like Kolkata, third wheeling can be just as fun, if not more, with the right attitude. Here’s how to make the most of it.

Keep it chill
Don’t be the awkward third wheel. Embrace the vibe and enjoy the moments. "We love having our friend with us, especially at the Maidan. It adds fun and doesn’t feel like we’re intruding," says Suman Ghose, a professional.

Stay involved
Join in on the couple's plans, whether it’s a walk by the Hooghly or grabbing kathi rolls at New Market. Being part of the action makes it more enjoyable. “Our friends make the day even more special when they join us at Gariahat market,” shares Ananya Sen.

Respect the couple’s space
Let them have their quiet moment. A true third wheel knows when to step back. Keep the balance between fun and intimacy, especially in fine dinings.

Be the fun element
Keep the conversation lively and add your own touch of humour. "I love cracking jokes on Valentine’s Day. It lightens the mood for everyone," says Ayush Gupta, a proud third wheel.

Third wheeling on Valentine’s Day can be just as exciting with a dash of humour and the spirit of Kolkata’s buzzing energy.
