Film and TV actor Abhishek Bajaj is single and slaying it! He tells mid-day. com all about what he's looking for in his future partner, thoughts about dating in the post-pandemic world and more.

The qualities you look for in a partner...
Someone honest, respectful and dignified. I believe the four pillars of a relationship are honesty, respect, love and transparency.

Red flags in a relationship…
Disrespect and being fake just to impress your partner.

The dream film or TV show/web series romance that you would love to have...
Troy in which Brad Pitt conquers a city to win his love! I believe in that, I can conquer anything to have the love of my life.

Have you tried dating apps or websites and what was the experience like?
I was doing a show where I heard people discussing Tinder so out of curiosity I downloaded the app. I didn't know how it worked so I swiped right on every request. I got scared and deleted the app.

Your weirdest/disaster date experience...
I always try to make my dates special! I recall this one date where the person looked nothing like her profile picture.

What would you wear to an important date?
White shirt or T-shirt and blue denims or maybe a black tee. Something that defines me, I believe in being simple and basic. I won't go out of the box.

The qualities or talents that you would use to impress you date...
Sense of humour and I'm honest in my conversations. I speak from my heart and I think people love that! I ensure my profession does not overshadow my personal life. I keep myself real.
