When asked about their thoughts on red flags and green flags, Reem said, “I try to be respectful toward everyone. I feel Many people don’t see that there is a thin line between making fun and disrespecting. Even if you are married there are some boundaries and lines that cannot be crossed. I’m not saying that jokes should not be taken sportingly but one has to be smart enough to know that this was a joke and this was disrespectful. So I feel disrespect is a huge Red flag in a relationship.”

Speaking of Green flags, Ritwik mentioned, “we take listening to each other very lightly and for granted. So listening to each other is a very green flag.”

Speaking of celebrating Valentine’s Day, Reem said, “I was shooting just like last year so it's a regular working day for me. I can buy my own chocolates and teddy bears so I have nothing much to do with V Day” Speaking of his upcoming projects, Ritwik said, “After this show you will see me in a sequel of a popular show which will be out in a short while. You will see me in the show’s second season.”
