Actor Shantanu Maheshwari, who will be seen in the upcoming film 'Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha', shared that for him, a good love story should ignite feelings and offer hope.
Shantanu is all set to romance actress Saiee Manjrekar in 'Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha', which also stars Ajay Devgan and Tabu.
Speaking about what he looks for in a love story, Shantanu said: "For me, a good love story should ignite feelings of, 'I have experienced this emotion personally, hence I relate to it.' Secondly, the feeling of hope, and that I definitely want to experience this emotion."
"These two criteria are ones that connect with me the most when I am watching a love story-based film," he added.
