According to The Daily Life Star, in an interview, SRK shared, “Don’t try too hard to impress. Women don’t always want to hear how beautiful they are. Rather, they want to be heard.”



He explained that while first impressions matter, lasting love is built on genuine care and understanding. According to him, investing in expensive gifts, fancy outfits, or poetic words might create a momentary impact, but truly listening to your partner creates a deep emotional connection. SRK emphasized that sometimes, all your loved one needs is someone who hears them without trying to fix everything. His mantra? Be present, be attentive, and let love work its magic.

One of the most interesting insights he shared was the importance of comfortable silence. He and Kajol can sit together for hours without speaking a word—him watching something on his iPad, and her reading a book. There is no insecurity or overthinking about why they aren’t talking. According to Ajay, strong relationships thrive when partners feel secure enough to enjoy each other’s presence without the pressure of constant conversation. He said, “Sometimes, Kajol and I don’t speak a word for hours. I am on my iPad watching something and for three hours she might be sitting there reading. There is a comfortable silence around us. When people feel insecure about things like why they are not talking or keep thinking if something is wrong with them—then there is a problem.”

She also emphasized the importance of balancing personal and professional lives, adding, “If I want to do something, then I will go for it and manage everything else.” Her advice? When love feels natural and right, trust your heart and go for it.

Deepika Padukone, one-half of Bollywood’s power couple with Ranveer Singh, believes that patience is the foundation of a strong relationship. In an interview with a magazine earlier, she shared that modern relationships often struggle because people lack the patience that previous generations had.



She pointed out that many couples are influenced by movies and social media, expecting love to follow a scripted journey. But every relationship is unique, and the key to happiness lies in accepting that. “The sooner couples embrace their own journey instead of comparing it to others, the stronger their bond will be.”

Patience, according to Deepika, allows love to grow and withstand challenges. Instead of rushing into conclusions or reacting impulsively, she advises couples to take a step back, communicate, and give their relationship the time it deserves.
