After ten years of togetherness, models Ankita Singh and Shadman Khan have discovered that true beauty lies in the quiet, everyday moments of love. For this couple, Valentine's Day transcends extravagance, focusing instead on presence—coming home after long shoot days, sharing meals, discussing the highs and chaos of work, and simply being with each other. Their decade-long relationship is built on a foundation of comfort, mutual respect, and the ease of understanding that only time can cultivate. In an exclusive conversation, they reveal what love looks like after a decade together, offering a refreshing perspective on modern romance.
Valentine's Day: A Celebration of Togetherness Over Impressions
When asked about their Valentine's Day celebrations, Shadman Khan emphasizes the importance of intimacy. "Celebrating Valentine's Day with just the two of us truly matters to me," he says. "After ten years, it's no longer about impressing the world—it's about appreciating the person who's been by my side through everything." Ankita Singh echoes this sentiment, highlighting their preference for simplicity. "For us, Valentine's Day is about being together. Our sofa is our favourite dating spot," she shares. "We truly believe that staying at home and enjoying each other's company is a perfect date." Since both are in the modeling profession and will be shooting on Valentine's Day, they plan to meet at home afterward to debrief about their hectic days, from makeup sessions to moments on set.
The Essence of Love: Comfort, Respect, and Deep Understanding
Defining love after a decade, Shadman describes it as centered on comfort. "Love is all about comfort," he explains. "It's knowing someone understands your silence without needing explanations. It's not butterflies every single day—it's commitment, respect, trust, and standing together when things aren't perfect. Love is choosing you, even when life gets busy or complicated." Ankita adds that understanding has deepened over time. "For us, love has always been about understanding each other," she says. "As we step into our 10th year together, that understanding has grown deeper. We've learned how to listen, how to put in the effort to understand each other's thoughts, moods, and silences." She notes that while a little mystery remains, they strive to empathize and validate each other's mindsets, with love now meaning comfort, respect, and showing up on ordinary days.

For their 10th Valentine's Day together, the couple plans a celebration that reflects their values. Shadman reveals, "We like to celebrate at home, just the two of us, away from all the hustle and bustle. Simple and meaningful celebrations matter to us more than exchanging expensive gifts or going for candlelit dinners." Their routine includes cooking dinner together, ordering a favourite cake, and disconnecting from phones. "Maybe we watch something we both love, talk about memories—how we started, what we've built, and where we're going. Just us, present, and connected," he adds. Ankita highlights food as their love language. "Food is definitely our love language," she says. "Eating together, sharing meals, finding a cool spot to eat, or just going for a drive—sometimes to nowhere—just to grab a burger, pizza, or a quick snack." Most Valentine's Days are spent at home, cooking together, making coffee, watching series, talking, or relaxing.
