Whoever decided love comes in a square box, red-wrapped with romance? From flaming career passion to BFFs being bae, or even a healthy ardour for yourself, these are the mad loves we forget to talk about...
There’s this textbook idea of love that Hallmark has etched on our tender, Romedy Now addict minds. But there’s about a thousand shades between ‘zero’ and ‘Gone With The Wind’ that we never seem to revel in—whether it’s the fresh optimism of new-found love, a near-surreal sister-connect, or the glorious comfort of having lived with someone for yonks, without any piece of paper verifying that commitment to the world. We talked to 10 phenomenal women about the great loves of their lives, and their answers were anything but textbook...
BESTIE LOVE
KALKI KOECHLIN, Actor
“Radhika (Apte) has always been someone with whom I can talk forever—out of the two of us, she’s definitely the chatterbox! She’s one of the most honest, and unabashedly opinionated people I’ve met, in the best way possible. We’re well matched for opinions, and can have all-night arguments on pretty much any subject under the sun! We’re so close, but often fight about something in an incredibly headstrong way, too—she talks back, fights back, and shouts back! She’s so forthright, and I find that both fascinating and inspiring. Even in a professional space, I think her talent is nonpareil. She plays characters that de-stereotype women, and I think that’s exactly what the country needs in its actors. I love how unafraid she is, and I’m really proud of that.”
