I look at it as one more day and one more excuse to love each other and do loveydovey stuff. ADITYA NARAYAN, Singer

Aditya Narayan and Shweta Agarwal have celebrated many a Valentine’s Day over the 11 years of their courtship, but this year it is special as they will be celebrating the day of love as a newlywed couple.

“You should celebrate every single day. Over the years, we have gone out and done the regular couple things but this year is special,” shares Agarwal, who tied the knot with the singer on December 1, last year.

Narayan adds, “I look at it as one more day and one more excuse to love each other and do lovey-dovey stuff.” The couple, who met in 2008, began dating in March 2010. Talking about their relationship and how it has evolved over the years, Narayan, 33, says it has been a long journey. “Like every relationship, we’ve had our ups and downs especially in the initial years, as that’s when we were both growing up. I was working, there was personal life, it could have been really difficult for her but she was there rock solid beside me. She is the emotional anchor in the relationship. We empower and help each other become the best version of ourselves, which is great,” he shares.

Agarwal says when they met, they were very different people and over the years they’ve both evolved and learnt a lot from one another. “I love the fact that both of us are secure about each other. We let each other do our things and we are also connected and spend time together like a regular couple. I am very happy with how it has progressed,” says the actor.

While V-Day this year looks like a working day for Narayan, he promises to make it up to Agarwal later. “We’re planning a vacation next month, that will make up for this one,” he adds.
