Summary
- Fatima Sana Shaikh longs for traditional, tactile romance over digital communication
- Vijay Varma notes the rise of "ghosting" and "toxic" labels in modern relationships
- Gustaakh Ishq film explores the changing nature of love and relationships
On November 10, 2025, Bollywood stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Vijay Varma, along with the producers and director of the film Gustaakh Ishq, gathered to celebrate the launch of their project. The film explores the changing nature of love and relationships in the digital age.
During the event, Fatima Sana Shaikh spoke candidly about her longing for traditional, tactile romance. She reminisced about the days when people would carefully craft love letters, adding flowers or perfume, creating a more tangible experience. In contrast, Fatima lamented the current trend of expressing affection through memes and emojis, stating, "I long for slow, passionate and deep love. Thoda hasna, thoda rona. Waise type ka pyaar mujhe pasand hai!"
Vijay Varma echoed Fatima's sentiments, noting the rise of labels like "ghosting" and "toxic" in modern relationships. He expressed nostalgia for the "joy in meeting and also in not meeting," a sentiment that is often lost in the fast-paced, hyper-connected world of today.
The team of Gustaakh Ishq aims to capture these evolving dynamics of love and relationships through their film, which is set to release in cinemas on November 28, 2025.
