We've heard it. We've seen it. [If you've watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, then you've witnessed it too, kay?] We've believe it.
But is it true?
In those Disney channel movies, when the girl would actually realize she'd had a crush on her guy friend all along and ends up with him. In KKHH, when Rahul realizes he loves Anjali. When Anjali crushes on Rahul. In those teen novels, when the girl has had a crush on at least one of her guy friends, even if she's over it now.
Azaan & Afreen's love story is different. They both love each other, yet are thinking the other just considers them a friend.
This is random, but I was thinking, at least she didn't say you're like my brother😆
But if I had guy friends, they'd be more like brotherly figures I believe. So there is that guy you consider a brother, and that guy you consider a teensy bit more than that😉
I think AA should look up definitions of love and friendship and do some research to find out what word fits their relationship the best. 😆
