Love talks : Daljeet and Shaleen whisper sweet nothings

Though the two love birds shared screen space in Anuj Saxena’s Kulvaddhu cupid struck them much after the show got over. It was a night after their pack-up on different sets of different shows, when a rather reticent and shy Shaleen asked Daljeet over a cup of coffee and then followed innumerable cups of coffee which continue till date. The couple is currently seen on the popular dance based reality show Nach Baliye 4 and is receiving rave reviews for their talent on the show. We caught up with Daljeet and Shaleen on the eve of their birthday. The much-in-love couple shares some intimate details with Webnsn.com. How old do both of you turn tonight? Daljeet: By default he is two hours older to me. Shaleen: I can’t tell you my age as with that you will know Daljeet’s age which is ethically not correct. As one should not be asking a girl’s age (laughs). What are your birthday plans? Shaleen: This birthday has been full of surprises. Last night I gave her a surprise. Till the night before we were getting bored and thus decided not to do anything and just go out for a coffee, have dinner and go home. Daljeet: He called me up at midnight and told me that he wanted me to see some property that he is planning to buy and I believed him. After driving for a while we reached a bungalow which was lit up. Shaleen halted the car in front of the bungalow and played my favourite number Maula Mere. He took me inside and I cut a cake and he then gifted me a puppy. What have you gifted to each other? Daljeet: As of now I could just manage this party for him and trust me it was not as easy as it seems. Shaleen: I think this is the biggest surprise anyone could give me ever. She had managed to call my family and friends from my home-town Jabalpur and I am truly touched. Have you christened the puppy? Shaleen: I have gifted her a Lhasa Apso and I would like to ask the readers to suggest some names and we will choose the best suitable name. Daljeet: Yes, we would like our fans to suggest a few names. Define love? Daljeet: Love is Shaleen. Everything that starts and ends with the person called Shaleen defines love for me. I have discovered love in him. Shaleen: I feel love keeps growing for ever till the relationship lives. When did you realize it was love? Daljeet: Shaleen generally doesn’t call till after 9 pm. One day suddenly he called me up at 2:00 a.m. and asked me to meet him over a cup of coffee. Luckily I had packed up for the day by then. I was always fascinated by the coffee which these cyclewallahs carry at night but being a girl I could never have one as I found it very unsafe. So I asked him if I could have one and he said yes. That was the first time I met him officially and we chatted for over four hours and rest is all known. Shaleen: When I realised that I am truly in love with her I didn’t want her to let go by any chance. Very rarely you end up ‘trapping’ such a good female. I have had done so many negative roles that all the aunties and their daughters used to run away the minute they spotted me. So aren’t you planning to shed off your negative image? Shaleen: I have stopped doing negative roles. I am doing a full fledged positive role in Grihasthi. And also in my upcoming show Rang. The one thing that you like most about each other? Daljeet: The fact that noone understands his jokes. When he jokes people find him rude and most of the time I have to clarify his intent. Shaleen: I like the fact that she is Daljeet Kaur and she is just so perfect and mind-blowing. I can’t let her go. Is marriage on the cards? Shaleen: Yes, we are planning to get married after we leave this party! Actually tomorrow I don’t have time as I have to pay my electricity bill (laughs). On a serious note, I feel selecting your partner is a very personal thing and getting married is majorly for society. As of now we are enjoying our personal lives together so much so that society will have to wait for sometime. Daljeet are you planning to take up any other show than Santaan? I am happy and content doing Santaan. The rest of my time is consumed by the rehearsals and shooting of Nach Baliye. Even if I take up a new show it would be only post Nach. Can we see both of you doing some show together? Daljeet: I really hope so. We have been offered some dailies together and if everything works well than nothing like it. Nach Baliye is an excuse to spend sometime together. Coming back to Nach Baliye, do you think these wild card entries are justified? Daljeet: I think when you are entering a competition then you must be prepared for all the challenges. It can be two wild card entries or three or for that matter even if Karisma Kapur herself comes as a competitor it would be fair. Who do you think is your biggest competitor on Nach? Daljeet: I think we are competing with ourselves. One has to grow with every performance and we have been giving our 200% to the show. I think our sole aim is to outperform our last performance. What do you have to say about the strike? Shaleen: I pray to The God that strike gets over as soon as possible so that people get back to work.
