Mumbai, December 30 (NationPress) Television sensation Hina Khan shared her thoughts on the true essence of intimacy and conveyed her heartfelt appreciation for her husband, Rocky Jaiswal, who constantly ensures she feels cherished, even after 13 years of partnership.

The couple, currently vacationing in the Maldives, have been posting numerous pictures and videos from their luxurious getaway. One particular video shared by Hina featured a romantic note penned by Rocky for his beloved. Overwhelmed by his loving gesture, the actress took to social media to express how Rocky has consistently made her feel adored throughout their 13-year journey together.

“This is one of his many ways of showing love to me; it has been his love language for over a decade. He leaves such love notes for me wherever we explore across the globe. I feel truly blessed,” Hina stated.

She continued, “It’s heartwarming when your husband recognizes your efforts, loves you with the same intensity even after more than 13 years, and, in fact, grows more affectionate each day.”

The actress pointed out that in long-term relationships, physical intimacy may wane, and it’s the small, romantic gestures that keep the relationship thriving.

“In my experience, physical intimacy sometimes takes a backseat in relationships due to stress, workload, distance, health, hormonal shifts, responsibilities, and even tough phases... I’m not diminishing its importance; it’s crucial, but it often becomes less prominent over time, especially after spending over a decade together and facing challenges,” she explained.

Hina further articulated, “What sustains a relationship is emotional intimacy. It’s about choosing each other repeatedly, the commitment to STAY through it all... It’s a mutual journey; you receive what you give... it’s that straightforward. With @rockyj1, it’s been over 13 years. We’ve experienced life’s highs and lows together. Yet, one thing has remained unchanged: our love and respect for each other.”

She emphasized how Rocky has been her unwavering support over the years, motivating her at every step.

“He encourages me to lower my defenses to truly be seen, supported, and understood. I feel like a child in a candy store when I’m with him... demanding yet incredibly vulnerable... when I say he’s my best friend, I truly mean it.”

Khan elaborated on her understanding of ‘intimacy’.

“It’s about a profound connection, mutual respect, trust, and supporting one another through thick and thin, choosing each other repeatedly. This is what INTIMACY signifies for me, and it should never diminish. Simple acts of love and affection are more than enough... Just a little can bring immense joy. You feel truly ALIVE, don’t you? Just try it out...”

Hina also highlighted that romantic gestures are not confined to one gender, advising every woman to take steps to bring joy to her partner.

“And yes, as I’ve mentioned, don’t just wait for your man to do this; take the initiative yourself. As women, it’s equally our duty to enhance our partner’s life with love, warmth, and respect, allowing them to express themselves freely. In a world where reality shifts with convenience, nothing surpasses loving someone who allows you to be your authentic self.”

The couple has consistently celebrated every occasion with immense affection. This year, during Karva Chauth, they shared moments from their first celebration post-marriage, with Rocky performing a symbolic gesture of bowing and touching Hina's feet, challenging stereotypes.

Rocky captioned the picture, "Just as the universe was created when Shiv met Shakti, my universe and life became divine the moment she accepted me fully and made me a better person! She is the Devi who has enriched my existence with her presence, warmth, and endless love. I find eternal peace at her feet. Her divine energy uplifts my soul. Happy First Karwa Chauth, My Love.”

For those unfamiliar, Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal first crossed paths on the set of the beloved TV series Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. At that time, Hina starred as the lead character Akshara, while Rocky worked as a supervising producer on the show.

After a 13-year relationship, the couple tied the knot on June 2, 2025, in an intimate ceremony at Rocky’s residence in Mumbai.
