What we don't know about Girija is that she loves gifts - the one's that she receives from people and the one's that she gives herself too. Revealing a funny story about her love for material objects, Girija shares " We were walking down a street once and I was complaining my husband about how he never gifts me anything. Out of the blue my husband blurted out and asked me what did I want. I did not bat an eyelid before entering a nearby watch store and in no time I picked up a really expensive watch for myself. It was so hard on his pocket that my husband hasn't had the courage to ask me again if I want a gift.

He just stopped giving me anything altogether post that incident." She further adds, “Also there is this one memory of Valentine’s Day from the year when I was shooting Taare Zameen Par.

Whenever someone used to ask me what are my plans for Valentine’s back then, I used to reply saying I am going to spend it with Aamir Khan. The number of jaws that dropped back then, I will never forget.” 

We all can relate a little with Girija but what she adds further is totally unheard of before. Says Girija “Suhrud, my husband, believes that there is a well thought of business strategy behind these fancy days and he doesn't approve of the gifting culture on Valentine's. Hence, this time I have decided to fulfil my materialistic expectations from my on- screen husband. Vishnu, is my really co-operative co- actor and I am planning to ask him for a gift this year. Now unlike Suhrud, Vishnu is kind of scared of me in real life like his onscreen character, Mandar. So, I am going to make the most of this and I cannot wait to discover what Vishnu has in store for me this Valentine's Day."
