00:00You are listening to your unseen and unknown friend, Love Guru.
00:03You have heard the voice of Love Guru on the radio for many years.
00:05And today, you are meeting the one who is connected to this voice.
00:09I am Dr. Junaid Alam.
00:11Hello, Pyaar Guru.
00:16People usually identify Love Guru with relationships,
00:20love, and the Guru of love.
00:23But when the initial two months of the show,
00:26it was all about sex counselling,
00:28we started this in November 2003.
00:32And I was doing the show for a good seven years.
00:37The USP was that Love Guru was also unknown.
00:40The questions he was asking were also unknown.
00:42His identity was not disclosed.
00:44So, people used to get a lot of encouragement that
00:47despite being unknown,
00:49we can share our extreme intimate problems with someone
00:54and we are getting a solution to it.
00:59One of the most common things that I love a certain girl or a certain boy
01:05and I am not getting any response from her,
01:08my life is over, I don't know what to do next.
01:11Extramarital relationships,
01:12relationships which were sometimes taboo,
01:16even homosexual relationships.
01:19In those days, people were not very open.
01:21There were questions about not being satisfied sexually
01:27with regards to the size of the male,
01:30not feeling absolutely amorous,
01:33especially losing out sexual interest
01:35when it comes to a long-term relationship.
01:38From serious to sometimes hilarious.
01:41But my only rule for myself was
01:45that even if there is a very funny question,
01:49answer it so seriously that the person who is asking me
01:53is not asking in a joke.
01:58The questions I was asked or the problems I tried to solve,
02:02they were with conviction.
02:03I wasn't an absolute expert as such,
02:06but yes, I had the knowledge and I had the education.
02:09It is not necessary for a relationship
02:12that you have broken your heart for years
02:16or have broken and joined relationships for years.
02:18Somewhere, you need to understand human behavior.
02:21The standard thing everywhere for all broken relationships was where
02:26you love yourself.
02:27If I try to make my family, my siblings,
02:31my nephew or niece understand,
02:34then it becomes like the chicken in the house.
02:41If I can say, clones of Love Guru were started.
02:43My listeners of that time and those who listen to me over the years,
02:48their own feedback is that
02:51the sense of maturity and understanding of human relationships
02:55and human emotions that were in that Love Guru,
02:59the original Love Guru,
03:00and the way he presented things,
03:05that is a little missing somewhere.
03:0710-12 years ago, there was no social media.
03:11Now, every person who can understand himself
03:14that yes, he has maturity in a sense, in the mind,
03:18so he tries to advise.
03:20Somewhere, let me just take the credit,
03:22that it all stems from the Love Guru, which was there years ago.
03:30As far as love and affection is concerned,
03:32it will happen the day it is destiny.
03:35Somewhere, I feel that you will meet that person
03:38who will sweep you off your feet.
03:39And those who are already in a relationship,
03:41whether it is a married relationship,
03:43whether it is a romantic relationship,
03:45do not put down your partner.
03:49And most important,
03:51you know, when the initial thrill of your relationship subsides a little,
03:55keep the spiciness alive.
