Actor Ajay Devgn said that love has lost its meaning in today’s casual relationships. His co-star Madhavan agreed and compared modern love to affection for pets.
Actor Ajay Devgn recently expressed his views on modern day relationships and said love “has lost its meaning.” His comments come after Kajol’s viral remark about “an expiry date” for marriage.
Ajay, in an interaction with his ‘De De Pyaar De 2’ co-actor R Madhavan on BookMyShow YouTube channel, shared his thoughts on 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 recalled a time when people treated the word with sincerity, even applying it to minor actions. He shared, “Now every message has a heart emoji with it. All messages just end with ‘love’.”
Madhavan went on to state that love today has grown “very casual,” suggesting the emotion is now comparable only to the affection people typically feel for their pets.
He emphasised, “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, however, highlighted, “The problem is that you love your pets because you know that they won’t ask for anything in return.”
