Fall in love to get high TRPs
Arjun Bijlani and Rati Pandey in Miley Jab Hum Tum
The soapbox seems to have taken the saying toHeart where most leading ladies inevitably end up in the hero's waiting arms

Romance is one track that always works wonders when it comes to generating TRPs during early evening/afternoon/evening/prime time bands on GEC (general Entertainmentchannels). So it comes as no surprise to see some predictable lovey-dovey moments being replayed and recreated in shows, over the last few years from Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hai to Dill Mill Gayye and Navya to Punar Vivaah. The ideal romantic moment that got christened in the history of films was in 1949 when the late Nargis fell into the arms of Raj Kapoor in Barsaat. A scene that got duplicated so many times in cinema and on the small screen. The 'heroine in hero's arms' pose is now a fave with telly shows where 'the-much-in-love' couples or almost in love couples, make it a point to fall into each other's arms, look deeply into each other's eyes, like there is no tomorrow. While creative directors of these shows could be a little more original, viewers don't seem to tire of watching the cliched scene. Here's a glimpse of some of the most predictable 'falling in love' scenes from TRP-topping soaps, over the years. Hop on for a fun ride...

Spooky fall This Twilight inspired love story between a vampire and a human being was supposed to be a hat ke love story. Served with a dash of Ekta Kapoor's love tadka, even the vampire (played by Vivian D'Sena) was not spared and had to catch a falling Pia (Sukirti Kandpal) throughout the show. Love at first bite wasn't enough, the 'fall' scene helped spice up things more!

'Fall'ing stars Bubbly smalltowner Khushi (Sanaya Irani) begins her hate-love story with Arnav Singh Raizada (Barun Sobti) by landing in his arms in the very first episode of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? A tendency she has faithfully maintained during various scenes shot by the pool, temple, dance floor -you name it and the dashing Arnav's always had his arms wide open, awaiting her descent into them!

Wonder falls Teenage romances should ideally have enough fodder for viewers without resorting to The Fall gimmick . But Sia (Abigail Jain), a budding boxer and her friend Raghav (Himansh Kohli) in Humse Hai Life, had to go through the fall routine many times over and counting!

campus fall You'd have thought a school topper like Suvreen (Smriti Kalra) of Suvreen Guggal - Topper of The Year, would be spared the cliche of the 'fall'. But even in a youth channel you can't avoid the inevitable. So Yuvraj Singh (played by Shivin Narang) also had the honour of saving a 'falling damsel', followed by an intense eyelock!

Divine fall A daily mythological soap, Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, that revolves round Lord Shiva (Mohit Raina) and Sati (Mouni Roy)'s relationship has a 'fall scene' too. This one's got Sati's eyes closed as she finds out her real love. Hmmm! Even the gods are not allowed a fall concession!

Fall for me Spunky Geet (Dhrashti Dhami) made falling in Mann Singh Khurana's (Gurmeet Choudhary) waiting arms a habit ever since they set their eyes on each other in Geet Hui Sabse Paraye. How else does a teenager manage to keep a tough biz tycoon's iron heart melt and fall head over heels for her? By conveniently falling in his arms! Of course.

Catch a falling friend Mayank ( Arjun Bijlani) and Nupur's (Rati Pandey) sizzling chemistry in Miley Jab Hum Tum was refreshing for young viewers. The whole idea of college friendsslowly making their way into each other's hearts needed to be puncuated with lots of Nupur falling into Mayank's arms scenes as they discovered love, via, you got it right -eyelocks!

Fall specliasts No love story between a rich guy and a sweet girl-next-door can be free from a fall. In Main Laxmi Tere Angan Ki, Mr Money Bags simply has to be agile and fit enough to hold his 'falling' beloved. Not again!

Love actually Aamir Ali's perfect chemistry with newbie actress Abigail Jain scorched the small screens in Kya Dill Mein Hai. Their great romantic fall became such a hit that it was adopted as the poster of the show. #
