Rajveer loves someone esle...but his family is getin him married to someones esle is that right...do they have a right to do that? does fallin in love mean that a person u have known for a while becomes so much more improtant than the ppl who have loved n cared for u all ur life? which is better? or both speaical in there own way? is one better than the other? can one be better off or happier if they were had arranged or love marriage? shoryia is gonna be facin the same problem soon...which do think is better?

Good topic Isha! 👏

Hmm, arranged marriage versus love marriage... Ideally, everyone would love to have a love marriage. And ideally, love marriages would always succeed. But realistically both types of marriages have chances of failing, and a failed marriage is despite its inital name, a failed marriage.

I think the choice is up to the individual. Take for example Rajveer. He apparantly loves Carol, but had agreed to marry a girl who he has never ever seen. I think that might be a bit shocking, because nowadays arranged marriages have been redefined. In fact, girls and boys get to know each other before marriage and that too with their family's knowledge and blessings. I think thats truly the only difference in the typical arranged marriage and its new definition. But Rajveer's marriage might be a typical arranged marriage.

Then there's his family. They know what's best for him. It would be one thing if perhaps he had told them about Carol, but I'm not sure he has. That would be his mistake.

Personally, I would love to have a love marriage. But an arranged marriage in this day and age isn't the typical-Rajveer-styled marriage. It has the best of both worlds. It can be based on love and acknowledged by your loved ones. In that aspect its both types of marriages.

But I wouldn't mind an arranged marriage, especially in today's zamana.

It all depends on the situation and the individual.

well firstly...i dont think tht anyone can become mor eimportant to a person than his family whcih has cared for him all his life!!
secondly i would love to have a love marriage too but the sad truth is...even though it isnt the case with everyone but i have seen a lot of arranged and love marriages...n all..n i really mean ALLL the love marriages i knew abt have broken up...so i really dont know the cause of tht!!
but i agree with bollywood... these days arrange marriages r very nice...they boy n the girl meet n decide if they wanna marry each other...so i think both r kool!
