Ajay Devgn recently shared his perspective on modern relationships, saying that love has lost its meaning. These comments come after Kajol’s much-discussed remark about an expiry date for marriage. Ajay, during a conversation with his De De Pyaar De 2 co-actor R Madhavan on the BookMyShow YouTube channel, shared his thoughts on the subject of love. He said, “From where I see, it has become more casual than what it was. The word love has been used so unnecessarily that it has lost its meaning. In our generation, you reached a point where you said I love you. Before that, it was whatever it was, ‘like you’ or whatever. But I think, right now, people don’t understand the depth of that word so it has been overused.”

While agreeing with Ajay, Madhavan remembered the time when people treated the word with sincerity, even applying it to small actions. He shared, “Now every message has a heart emoji with it. All messages just end with ‘love’.”

Madhavan further explained that love in modern times has become “very casual,” implying that the emotion is now comparable only to the fondness people generally experience for their pets. He explained, “There was a great amount of satisfaction in getting your love at one point of time. I really hope the younger generation can feel the kind of comfort we felt when we were in the company of someone we loved. Nowadays, you can compare that to the crazy love you feel for your pets, which is unconditional. I wish you could feel it for another human being.”

Ajay added to it, saying, “The problem is that you love your pets because you know that they won’t ask for anything in return.” The interview came after the episode of Kajol’s show, Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle, where she had said, “What says you will get married to the right person at the right time? So, you should have a renewal option. And if there’s an expiry date, then we don’t have to suffer for too long.”
