Valentine’s Day is here, and while everyone is busy soaking in love, there are a few who do not let that influence the real picture. Muskaan Agarwal, who is seen in the web series Shraap, is one of those who has experienced love but also believes that reality can’t be blinded by it. She has shared a very bold take on love and shared that money is also important.

In today’s fast-paced world, I do not believe in situationships. While I acknowledge that love is important, I also recognise that money plays a crucial role because love alone cannot fill one’s stomach.”
She also stressed that she used to believe in old-school love, but over time, her perspective has changed. “The world is evolving, and even after 14 years of marriage, people choose to separate. The generation of our parents was perhaps the last one that truly valued commitment,” she said.
“Nowadays, love and money go hand in hand. I do not think social media is solely responsible for this shift; rather, people have adapted to their surroundings. Even in rural areas, relationships are often abandoned for financial reasons,” she added.

Muskaan also believes that today love is more about flaunting it on social media rather than keeping it private. She said, “People have always engaged in such behaviour, but in the past, they did not have platforms to showcase it. Their actions were limited to personal albums or stored on their phones. I do not believe social media is to blame for the changing nature of relationships. Of course, if I experience something special, I would love to share it with the world and celebrate my happiness. Social media acts as a mediator, allowing people to spread their joy.”
“My advice to others is to be cautious and not let emotions overpower logic. Trust is the foundation of love—without it, a relationship cannot survive. Partners should grant each other full freedom and avoid unnecessary doubts. Unfortunately, people have become overly possessive these days. First, learn to love yourself, and then think about loving someone else. Prioritise building your career before diving into a relationship,” she added.
For Muskaan, the purest form of love exists only between you and your parents. She said, “If someone cannot be truly devoted to their own mother and father, how can they be loyal to another person? A mother’s love is the only form of unconditional love.”
“Nowadays, love is fleeting—it changes as easily as clothes. Power and position often determine the presence of love in one’s life. I do not believe in the idea of blind, foolish love,” she ended.
