New Delhi, Feb 13 (IANS) Akashdeep Saigal, who became popular as Sky after his stint on “Bigg Boss 5″, has some Valentine’s Day tips for romantic couples. The actor says gifts may not be expensive, but should be direct “dil se”.

“There are ample Valentine’s Day ideas and tips. But the first and foremost thing to be kept in mind is to create the love ambience around you and your beloved.

Will Valentine’s Day be special for ‘Kuch Toh…’ stars?

With Valentine’s Day Tuesday, one wonders how the protagonists of popular show “Kuch Toh Log Kahenge” — Ashutosh and Nidhi, who have an age gap of 18 years — will celebrate the occasion.

Right now the focus is on the complications in their relationship due to their huge age difference.

The 42-year-old Ashutosh (Mohnish Behl) thinks he is too old for something like Valentine’s Day, while the young and bubbly Nidhi (Kritika Kamra) is eagerly waiting for a surprise from him as it’s their first Valentine’s Day.

Will it be a usual day for the two, or will they celebrate it with gifts, cards, flowers and chocolates? The answer lies in the The Valentine’s Day episode, which will be aired Tuesday.
