ARE YOU REAL PRINCESS?

The Free Press Journal - Mumbai

December 14, 2025

If you are showered with attractive gifts — a cuddly teddy bear, boxes full of chocolates and cupcakes, a bouquet of red roses, a lacy satin pink dress, a strawberry ice cream treat, a love letter written with heartfelt messages and wrapped in sweet scent — how would you feel?

- Pramita Bose

A princess, right? If this isn't enough for you, then consider being taken out for a candlelight dinner, a movie date night or an evening stroll on a breezy beach to discuss and plan a getaway call.How about returning him the favours with a similar treatment? Rustle up a relishing dish for him if he’s a foodie. After all, the way to a mans heart is always through his stomach, wot say! You may also try some other options to woo your man like whispering sweet nothings in his ear or getting him infatuated with meaningful offerings. Such heart-warm-ing gestures are always known as ‘princess treatment’ and recently gained momentum as a talking point all over again.

Of late, the social media is abuzz with this appellation of delivering a ‘princessy demean-our’. Thus, feeling treasured like a queen or a king is becoming increasingly gender neutral. Is the voting-metre tilting towards ‘princess treatment’ on dating apps and in marital unions? Is this setting a new trend?
