Hi Ali! When was the first time you realized/understood the significance/ importance of Valentine’s Day?
When I started doing live shows and catching the sight of all couples coming in and enjoying themselves, that was the time I realized and understood the significance of Valentine's Day.


Who was your first Valentine? Please be honest… Honesty appreciated…
Honestly speaking, my parents!

Do you think that the concept of Valentine’s Day has been misinterpreted?
Yes, it's a popular culture that makes us believe that Valentine’s Day is for lovestruck couples only. But, it is a day of love and that love can be for anyone.

Is Valentine's Day only about romance and love? Or can that day be celebrated for friendship as well?
All kinds of love should be celebrated; whether it is for your parents, your siblings, or your children or friends.

Can you recall your most memorable Valentine’s Day?
I didn’t have one yet.

What type of Valentine are you? Card-Roses types/ romantic poems types or the candlelight dinner types? Or is there anything besides these?
All of the above.

Has anyone rejected your Valentine’s Day proposal or have you rejected any Valentine’s Day proposal?
I have rejected too many to mention. And I haven’t approached anyone yet.

If you had a choose a Bollywood celebrity as your Valentine, whom will you choose and why?
My favorite Bollywood celebrity whom I see as my Valentine is Kiara Advani but unfortunately, she is married now and the reason to choose her is that she is simple, elegant, classy, intelligent, and well-spoken.

If you had to choose a Hollywood celebrity as your Valentine, whom will you choose and why? Jennifer Lawrence, as she is so real and owns up to all she does in the most real yet edgy manner.

It’s a given that you will have many admirers. In that case, have you ever received any card or gift from a secret admirer? If yes, what was it and what was your reaction to it?
I have received flowers, and cards from many secret admirers saying how they admire and pray for me and it feels special.

In your opinion, is Valentine's Day the most romantic day of the year?
Romance should be never ending when truly in love. It can’t be for any particular day.

What’s your idea of a perfect Valentine's Day date?
Taking my partner for a breakfast in one city and dinner in another country on a yacht.

Valentine’s Day is about love and Cupid. Have you ever played the Cupid in anyone’s life? Or has anyone played Cupid in your life?
I always play Cupid most of the time due to the experience of knowing what is not to be done. I am a sensible and smart man to not need any Cupid in my life.
