It’s Valentine’s day but for most of us is just a regular working Wednesday and a survey recently conducted also agrees with us.
A lot of Indians don’t believe in celebrating Valentines Day, which falls on February 14, and a lot of people think it is “the most romantic day of the year” should be treated like any other day, reveals a survey. The survey was conducted online by www.shaadi.com, a matchmaking service, with over 8,200 responses from Indians (married/unmarried) aged between 20-35 years.
When men and women were asked “Which day do they look forward to the most”, 61% said “Own birthday/anniversary”, followed by 36% who said “New Year’s Day” and 3% who said Valentine’s Day, read a statement. When asked “Do you believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day?”, 68% said “No” and 32% said “Yes”.
To further understand the reason behind Valentine’s Day celebrations losing its charm, millennials were asked “Why do you not celebrate Valentine’s Day?” and 55% said “It is over-hyped”, 28% said “Every day is Valentine’s Day with my special someone”, while 17% said “Too crowded to step out”. When asked “Do you think Valentnne’s Day should be treated like any other day?”, 67% said “Yes” and 33% said “No”.
