It's refreshing to see a celebrity be so honest about dating struggles. Even stars face the same issues as us common people when it comes to finding love. Wishing them both happiness! ❤️

Five years alone is a long time! Shows how important it is to wait for the right person rather than settling. This is exactly what our elders keep telling us - sabar ka fal meetha hota hai.

While I'm happy for them, I wonder if celebrities rush into engagements too quickly. They went public and got engaged within months - hope they've really taken time to know each other properly.

Selena's journey reminds me of modern Indian dating scene - arranged marriage pressure vs finding love organically. Glad she waited for the right connection instead of forcing things. More power to her!

"S--tty dates" 😂 So relatable! Even in India, dating apps have made meeting people easier but finding genuine connection is still tough. Maybe we all need to be patient like Selena was.

Interesting how she mentions being alone for 5 years. In our society, people start questioning you if you're single past 25! We need to normalize taking time to find the right partner.
