Rachana Mistry, who is engaged to businessman Amit Madaan, counts on him through thick and thin. Though they come from different professions, they hold a strong sense of understanding and respect for each other. Soon to be married, Rachana Mistry, who was last seen in the titular role in Zee TV’s Jagriti Ek Nayi Pehchaan, talks exclusively to IWMBuzz.com on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, where she talks about her definition of a successful relationship.
Read on.
How do you define a successful relationship, and what do you think is its important element?
As far as I am concerned, a successful relationship is when your partner does not have to think before sharing anything with you. Ups and downs are part of life. But when your partner feels very comfortable in sharing anything, it is a sign of a successful relationship. The most important element is respect. When there is no respect, a lot of things fly out of the window in a relationship.
We together with mast garam adrak wali chai with bun maska is my perfect day!
How will you want to balance your career and love life in future?
Honestly, when you have a very supportive partner, it becomes a cake walk. When you have a partner who is respectful towards you and your career, things seem easy. Touch wood, I am blessed in that manner.
What would constitute a perfect day with your partner?
We both with mast garam adrak wali chai with bun maska!! This might sound cliché, but we bonded over masala wali chai in his cafe. He was not a chai person, apparently, but I have turned him into one.
In what ways do you feel you have grown as an individual since you got into a relationship with your partner?
My success is visible to everyone ever since I met Amit. From the time I met him, there has been a sense of calm. I know I can depend on someone. Ever since I was a child, I have not been dependent on anyone. He has given me this sense of security, and that’s a big thing for me.
What are the top three priorities or values you would like to protect as a couple?
Respect stands at the top of our list. We want to cherish and value the respect we hold for each other, and each other’s profession and families. The sense of understanding we have between each other is special. We both value each other’s decisions and priorities, and don’t try to change each other’s perspectives.
What are your plans this Valentine’s Day?
Very cliché, but we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. We are long-distance; he is in Ahmedabad, and I am in Mumbai. We don’t make a big deal about the day.
Tell us about the wedding plans.
Good question!! You will hear something very soon. It is on the cards. I can only tell you that it is happening pretty soon.
