TV and film actress Hina Khan has shared a heartfelt reflection on what intimacy means in her long-standing relationship with husband Rocky Jaiswal after being together for over 13 years. In a recent social media post, the newlywed — who married Rocky in an intimate ceremony in June 2025 after more than a decade together — explained that for her, intimacy extends far beyond physical closeness.
Hina shared glimpses from a romantic vacation with Rocky, including a handwritten love note he left for her, and spoke candidly about how the couple continues to choose each other every day. “This is one of his ways to express his love for me; it has been his love language for more than a decade now. He will leave such love notes for me wherever we travel in the world. Blessed,” wrote Hina.
She added, “It feels so nice when your husband acknowledges your efforts, loves you with the same intensity even after 13-plus years of togetherness, and, in fact, loves you more with each passing day.”
The actress mentioned how she feels physical intimacy, after a long-term relationship period, takes a backseat, and then it is all the small and romantic gestures that make the relationship bloom.
“In my experience, physical intimacy takes a backseat in a relationship from time to time for multiple reasons: stress, workload, long distance, health, hormonal changes, responsibilities, and, in fact, sometimes a rough patch in a relationship... I’m not saying it’s not important; it’s equally important, but it does take a backseat many times in a relationship... especially if you have spent more than a decade with each other and weathered storms together,” she wrote.
The actress further wrote, “What keeps a relationship going is emotional intimacy. choosing each other again and again and again... The urge to STAY no matter what... And it’s always a two-way street... you will get what you give... it’s that simple. it’s been more than 13 years with rockyj1 We have seen the best and the worst times together. Been through so much. But one thing never changed. Love and respect for each other.”
She added how Rocky over the years has been her staunch pillar of support and motivates her each time.
“He encourages me to put my guard down to be truly seen and supported and understood. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I am around him... demanding yet so, so vulnerable... when I say he’s my best best friend first, I mean it.”
“That feeling of deep connection, mutual respect, trust, supporting each other through thick and thin, choosing each other time and again. Thisssss is INTIMACY for me. And it should never fade. Little gestures of expressing love and fondness are enoughhhh... Itne Mai hi dil Khush ho jaata hai. You feel ALIVE, haina... kar ke dekhna...”
“Aur Haan, as I mentioned, don’t just expect all this from your man; practice it yourself as well. As a woman, it is equally our responsibility to make our man’s life better, easier, and filled with love, warmth, and respect so that he can express himself effortlessly by being himself. In this world where reality shifts as per convenience, nothing is bigger than being in love with someone who lets you be real.”
Hina and Rocky first met on the set of the TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, where their professional paths crossed and eventually blossomed into a personal relationship. After years of companionship and mutual support — including through Hina’s health journey — the couple finally tied the knot in a private ceremony, celebrating a bond built on love, friendship and resilience.
