Will She Still Dig Red Roses On V-Day?
We gave four girls nice-smelling flowers that weren't red roses – dahlias, white and yellow roses, lilies and gerberas – and here's what they had to say.
Many will agree that roses, especially the red kinds, are no longer the ultimate gift for every girl on V-Day! Or are they? We gave four girls nice-smelling flowers that weren’t red roses and here’s what they had to say…
Ipshita, 24: Red dahlias
“This flower never fails to win my heart. They’re different, easy to hold and flaunt and are bigger than roses. And as we always say ‘the bigger the better’.”
The message: You’re somewhat like Saif Ali Khan: elegant and dignified, definitely not a male chauvinist pig.
Price: Rs 10, one stem | The sex factor: xxx
Mehak, 24: White/yellow roses
“I’m not the biggest fan of roses, and especially dislike the obvious, red ones. White, peach or yellow roses are beautiful, but I’d rather see tulips on my desk.”
The message: Mix white and yellow roses, and you’ll show instability – like Ranbir Kapoor. (You love her? No idea!)
Price: Rs 15, one stem, but on V-Day Rs 25 | The sex factor: xxxx
Rachna, 30: Lilies
“They are my absolute favourite! They’re elegant, delicate and perfect for Valentine’s Day, birthdays or for no reason at all too.”
The message: The Imran Khan of flowers: every girl fancies you, but you are a one-woman kind of man who’ll even make Blake Lively mend her ways.
Price: Rs 15, one stem | The sex factor: xx
Riyanka, 25: Gerberas
“They’re definitely much more cheerful than roses, though I would not appreciate them on a V-Day! That’s one day when he should go all out with red roses and heart-shaped candy.”
The message: You don’t want the world to know about it. That’s okay, Rob Pattinson hid it too.
Price: Rs 15, one stem | The sex factor: xxx
