Deepti Gujral stepped into the very popular shoes of Malaika Arora-Khan as the host of Loveline Reloaded on MTV along with Cyrus Sahukar. Seated on a couch, Gujral lends a sympathetic ear to distressed callers.
Why she thinks shows like Loveline Reloaded work: People like advice given without judgement. There are things they can’t discuss with friends or parents. A third person, especially someone who is anonymous and unbiased, offers a clearer perspective. “People would rather talk to someone they’re comfortable with.”
The most common problem she has come across: Men are usually shy to ask a girl out because they fear rejection.
Her solution: To try and bring people together by helping them confront their issues on the phone. “I tell them that if you don’t try, you will never know. Communication is a key ingredient.” Her weirdest love problem: When someone called in telling her he was in love with her. She didn’t know how to react and it was an awkward moment on air.
What people should avoid in a relationship: Judging each other too much. “Don’t judge the other person. Accept them the way they are.” Most often, she says, problems start when one expects one’s boyfriend or girlfriend to change.
