‘Love is now like popcorn, a little more warmth and…’ What did Ananya Pandey say about modern love? Debate intensifies on social media regarding commitment

With changing times, the definition of relationships has also changed significantly, leading to increase in breakups and divorces. In today’s relationships, relationships are breaking even before they are fully formed, and with time, people have become afraid of commitment. Recently, Ananya Panday spoke openly on modern relationships in The Kapil Sharma Show. The actress compared today’s love with the love of the 90s, and described modern love as popcorn. There is a lot of discussion on his statement on social media, some people are supporting his views and some are disagreeing.

Ananya Pandey was recently seen with Kartik Aryan in the film ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Tu Meri’, which was a love story. Ananya Pandey often remains in the headlines because of her statements, and this time too her statement has brought her into the limelight. Recently, on comedian Kapil Sharma’s show, Ananya described modern love as “popcorn love” and considered the relationships of the 90s to be more committed.

No insurance policy in modern relationships
Ananya said in Kapil’s show that in olden times love was like an insurance policy; Once a commitment was made, the intention was to keep it for the rest of the life. I think that’s why there’s no loyalty anymore. It seems love has become like popcorn. A little heat and people start popping like popcorn.

Considering a live-in relationship as a commitment
The actress further said that nowadays people consider live-in relationships as commitment; They feel that sharing expenses and rent is a commitment, while roommates do the same. At the same time, breakups are happening over small things like sharing phone passwords, and this is the reason why loyalty in relationships is decreasing. Different reactions are being received on this statement of the actress on social media. Along with this, after listening to his words, this question is also arising in the minds of people that has love really become so fragile today, and what is the reason behind it?

How has the digital age changed relationships?
Dr. Pavitra Shankar, Associate Consultant Psychiatrist, Aakash Healthcare, said in an interview that digital life has changed our thinking about commitment.

Nowadays people see countless options on dating apps and social media.
When people have too many options, they become hesitant to commit to their partner.
People have this thought about commitment that they might get a better option. Nowadays, instead of trying to understand their partner, people break up when they feel even the slightest boredom in the relationship.
With so many options available and so many people to interact with on social media, the emotional connection is being lost.
Dr. Shankar believes that commitment still exists today, but now it happens according to people’s terms and timeline. Earlier a relationship with a person was considered permanent, but now it has become like a subscription.

What causes early breakups?

According to psychology, nowadays relationships break just as quickly as they are formed. There are many reasons behind this, which are weakening relationships today.

The biggest reason is that people constantly think that because of this relationship they might miss a better option.

Due to the increasing craze of social media, people have become emotionally distant from each other. Even while living together, people are unable to understand each other’s feelings.

Many times couples consider each other’s different viewpoints as incompatibility, and then end the relationship without even trying.

Is sharing expenses the only form of commitment?

Ananya said that living together or sharing expenses does not guarantee an emotional connection. Dr. Shankar agreed with him, saying, “Living together can bring closeness, but convenience is not commitment. True commitment is when things are not easy, even when things are not easy, efforts are made to maintain the relationship.”
