For those of you who don’t know, a “love lock” is a padlock that lovers lock on a bridge, fence, or other public fixture as a mark of their love for each other. They write their names on the lock and then throw away the key – this is a gesture made to express their unending and unbreakable love for each other. There are quite a few places in the world that are famous for love locks, and Paris itself is home to a few bridges where people go to “lock their love.” Anushka Sharma, who’s currently in the city to shoot for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, made a visit to one of the bridges and “immortalised” her love.

Dude’s a lucky dude!
