In his recent release Amit Sahni Ki List Vir Das’ character may have gone through a painful break-up but in real life the actor is happily settled and says he may tie the knot soon.
“I am happy in a relationship with a normal girl called Shivani. She’s an events manager and we’re in a stable relationship. No she doesn’t manage my career. She only manages me at home,” said Das.
When asked why he mentioned her being normal, he said: “Because I consider myself completely abnormal. I think every actor is slightly wacky. Shivani keeps me grounded. She’s my reality check.”
What about wedding plans?
“Not immediately, but soon. Definitely within a year. I am a man who is the happiest when committed in a relationship. We live together. We have a bull dog. And we share a ridiculously happy life together,” he said.
In the film, the protagonist’s painful break-up sequence is based on Das’s real life experience.
“The break-up in the film is borrowed from my life,” he said.
“It actually happened to me. I put these personal experiences into the film to give it a touch of realism,” he added.
If the lead character in Amit Sahni Ki List has a list of the qualities he wants in his ideal woman, Das has a wish list too.
“Yes, I’ve basically four qualities that I look for in my ideal woman. She must laugh at all my jokes, especially the bad jokes. She must be a good eater because, being a foodie, I don’t like the Caesar salad types.
“She must be a dog lover because I own one and I love him more than I’d probably love her. And if her last name is Mittal or Ambani, I don’t mind,” said the actor.
Das has starred in Delhi Belly”, zombie movie Go Goa Gone and thriller Revolver Rani.
