Shokhi

Playfulness is a typical quality of the beloved and it makes her all the more romantic and appealing. In other words, a beloved without some amount of coquetry or playfulness would not be so romantic. You may like to go through these examples that personify a beloved as one who is now bouncy, now mischievous, now playful, and now full of light wit.
