The Different Shades of CELEBRITY LOVE

February 14, 2021 07:26 IST

It's like Hugh Grant once said, Love, actually, is all around.

But on Valentine's Day, it becomes bigger even for those living under a rock.

February 14 is when people come up with ingenious new ways to express their affection to the special someone in their lives.

Nobody swoons over this view more keenly than Bollywood.

But romance is not its only purpose. And it sure reflects strongly in their reality.

On Valentine's Day, Sukanya Verma looks at the different shades of celebrity love.

Love means so many things to so many people. It's all about excitement when you've just welcomed a baby like Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli.

And it's all about comfort when you're growing old together like Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.
