In a discussion about love & marriage, Bhumi shared that she believes that love is about finding the right person, not about checking off a timeline. “I mean definitely marriage but with the right person because I don’t want to be in an unhappy relationship ever again in my life”, she shares. “I am not in a rush for anything..whenever it may happen, ten years from now, 20 years from now, or even tomorrow, it should be the right person.” Well, it makes sense to take your time to find someone who makes your heart feel at home. Prioritise a healthy, happy relationship over societal timelines.
