A Moment of Silence for Cliché Valentine’s Day Celebrations

Welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence — where Valentine’s Day is less roses and more reality checks. We start gently with “Do you even believe in love?” and then we get into couple influencers monetising their fights, decode soft launches, hard launches, and breakup triangles. You’ve heard of Veer Pahariya, Tara Sutaria, and AP Dhillon — but what really goes wrong?

We talk power couples minting money, why dating a cricketer suddenly feels strategic, and whether modern relationships are just brand collaborations with feelings attached.

Of course, we couldn’t resist a chaotic “Would You Rather Date” lineup featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and more — so tell us in the comments which Bollywood character you’re choosing and why.

We also touch upon Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, confess our crush on Hrithik Roshan, share a Valentine’s survival hack, and drop a slightly dangerous (but effective) strategy to get your man to finally do household chores.

This episode is about love, PR, money, ego, delusion, and feminism. If you’re still reading this… you’re already involved.
