LOVE WAS certainly in the air for Valentine's Day. More so for Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and hubby Abhishek who celebrated their first Valentine together as a married couple.

And though tight-lipped about how they celebrated it, Aishwarya said that her approach to such days is simple.

"Every day is a simple day and every day is a celebration. What you make of every moment is what it's all about." Admitting that she's as curious as we are to know what the coming years will bring, she recalled the previous year's Valentine's Day when their affair was surrounded with speculation and rumours.

"It was a very special time for us, as we were engaged. But it was quite hectic. I was shooting for Jodhaa Akbar and working full throttle. Going up and down to Karjat and knowing that marriage was not too far away, I was working at it all - completing the film and our marriage preparations," she reminisced.

So, what's her idea of a perfect romantic date? "Togetherness is perfect, whatever the setting," said the Bachchan bahu. And who's the more romantic of the two? "I really don't know," she blushed, adding, "We don't get into all this. We are just very happy with each other and I think that in itself says a lot."

And what is the most romantic thing Abhishek's done for her? "Well, he proposed to me. To want to spend the rest of our lives together is by far the most romantic thing I could've experienced. It is very special, very real," said the actress.

Ask her more about Abhishek, and the twinkle in her eyes is hard to miss. But is there anything she would want to change in him? "Currently there is nothing that I need to change in him," came the reply. And what is the one thing she really loves about him? "It's difficult to put it down to one thing. I just love him and that's why I'm married to him," she gushed. "He's all rolled into one - a fabulous actor, a great husband and an excellent friend. I love him. He is the best in everything he does or is," she said flashing a dazzling smile.
