Kashmera Shah recently shared her thoughts on social media about marriages breaking down and young people losing faith in the institution. Coincidentally, this post came at a time when there have been reports of trouble in Govinda and Sunita Ahuja’s marriage. When we asked Kashmera if her post was in reference to the couple, she said, “No, it was not connected with them at all.”

Elaborating on what prompted her post, she said, “I just felt that in today’s world of social media with apps that allow you to fall in love or date people, the idea of love has just faded out.” The biggest change is the growing impatience around love, pointed out Kashmera. “I don’t like this fast food wala concept where love is treated like a hot meal,” she added.

The actress also recalled a recent moment during her trip to the US that touched her. “We were by the pool and saw somebody taking the effort to make a heart in the sky. It was so endearing. Such gestures stand out because they represent the effort and romance that are increasingly missing from modern relationships. Every day, whenever I open any social media platform, I hear about somebody breaking up. It’s disheartening to see youngsters today not believe in the institution of marriage or even in the institution of chasing or wooing someone,” she said.

Talking about social media, the actress said that she and husband Krushna Abhishek prefer to keep their relationship private. “We do not feel the need to share every aspect of our lives online. We both were in America recently, but did not post a single picture,” she said, adding, “We click pictures for ourselves. We don’t click it for our fans or other people. We feel it’s not important for people to know our every move because it’s our life and our business. We don’t need constant validation from the virtual world.”
