Yashashri Masurkar: Having someone to love in my life is paramount

For actress Yashashri Masurkar, the feeling of loving and being loved is the best emotion one can feel. The actress, who is seen as Bela in Dabangii: Mulgi Aayi Re Aayi, says that, for her, there is no purer emotion than love.

“For me, having someone to love in my life is paramount, and so is the feeling of being loved. I feel this feeling cannot be compared to any other emotions. It is the most profound and purest form of expression,” she says.

This Valentine’s Day, she plans to make herself feel special. “I am not dating anyone right now but yes, I am taking myself out. Loving yourself and making yourself feel special is the best kind of love I feel. Only when you love yourself, can you love those around you,” she says.

Meanwhile, she says that love matures with time. “There has to be love to stay together, doesn't it? Love before marriage sets the base for you, while love after marriage is what helps a couple set their life together,” she says, adding, “You must respect your partner and give them space to relax and grow. Be a person with whom they can be themselves. That’s the best form of love you can give them. If love is true, you don’t have to fight for it. If it’s yours you will know and you will never be scared of losing it.”
