'When he buys you flowers @madhampatty_rangaraj. You're the sunflower in my sky. Blooming with love everyday,' she wrote, along with a picture of the flowers that were gifted to her by him. In another story, she noted, 'You always know how to put a smile on my face @madhampatty_rangaraj. Valentine's week well spent with my man @madhampatty_rangaraj. #youandme (sic).'
