    Just a random fact about the title of the book Dating Dr. Dil, so the word "Dil" literally means "heart" in Hindi. I don't know anything about the book or the plot cause I haven't read it (even though I can gauge the plot from the title hahaha) but yeah considering it is from an Indian author it might be that his name is literally heart or he is a heart specialist or Idk but yeah just thought of mentioning it 😅 On a side note, I really love your videos and all your content. 😍😍
