There’s always some buzz around actor Rohit Saraf’s love life, but he asserts that it isn’t as exciting as it seems on paper. Saraf admits that he is “very much single and really happy about it”.

In fact, he is excited to celebrate singlehood, this Valentine’s Day. “I wish I was dating somebody, then I’d have been able to share some exciting plans with you,” he quips, adding, “I will spend Valentine’s with my family. My niece has got a pup, we’ll celebrate it with the pup.”

On the subject of celebrating being single, Saraf jokes about the memes he came across on social media recently. “Valentine’s Day is also about self-love. I saw a meme which said that people who celebrate self-love on Valentine’s are the most single people ever. I laughed… (but) it is sad when you see such memes. Celebrating singlehood is fun though,” stresses the Ludo (2020) actor.

He goes on to urge single people not to fret about their relationship status. “You are not going to be single for the rest of your life. I’m sure there’s somebody special for everyone. I’m sure whenever you find them, every day will be like Valentine’s Day,” says the 25-year-old.

The actor continues, “I know a lot of teenagers, as I’m a chachu and mamu, and they get disheartened to not have a date on that day… But I feel there’s no rush. You can have your version of Galentine’s Day or a boys’ day out. The idea is to celebrate love. It doesn’t necessarily have to be with your significant other.”

Ask him about his dating game, and he doesn’t describe himself as someone into dating apps. “I found it to be forced. But I have nothing against anyone who uses it,” Saraf mentions, adding that he’s also scared of being catfished.

That’s why he is relying on finding love organically. “I haven’t really found anyone who I would be interested in while I am working. And I haven’t really met people outside of my work. But, never say never! I hope to find that person soon, maybe on the next project that I am working on,” Saraf concludes on a hopeful note.
