Are you a die-hard romantic? The one who is blindly into Bollywood love sagas? Well, time to fret! Chances are you might end up dying a Devdas-like death if you don't follow Dev D-like practicality.
Here's a harmless lowdown on some hard-to-ignore (or rather hard-to-digest) Bollywood romantic formulas that have always worked wonders at the box-office, but sound and appear too filmi to be real!
#10: IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL TO CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE AND GET AWAY WITH IT
Warning: Don't try these stunts at home, lest you want to die an unnatural death!
#9: THAT FAT BOY YOU HATED IN CHILDHOOD, IS THE HOT GUY YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON
The hatred can rest in peace. Time to break into song and dance!
#8: IF SHE TURNS AROUND TO LOOK AT YOU, SHE LOVES YOU
And what if she turns around only to ensure that you have gone out of her life?
#7: KISSING YOUR FAMILY'S MURDERER IS NO BIG DEAL
Just shed some tears, abuse him and slap him. That's all you have to do. And before you forget, a passionate smooch is a mandatory part of the deal.
#6: JUST FALL IN LOVE, MUSIC WILL FOLLOW AUTOMATICALLY
And we thought breaking into impromptu melodious songs and incredibly matching dance steps was rocket science! It's not - unless you don't mind coming out of your fantasy bubble!
#5: LOVERS WILL ONLY LOVE, AND WILL NEVER, EVER FIGHT
And if they do, it's only because they are married now!
#4: DON'T CRY IF YOUR LOVER DIED. YOU'LL MEET HIS DUPLICATE SOON
And guess what? He had been living only in the hope to meet you one day!
#3: IF YOU ARE TRULY IN LOVE, YOU WILL MEET IN NEXT BIRTH ALSO
The unique part is - your faces, skin tones, heights, physiques & figures, and even your voices too will be the same. And of course, both of you will soon recall your past love life.
,b>#2: A STRANGER HELPED YOU BOARD YOUR TRAIN? HELLO, YOU JUST MET YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND!
And fat chances are, his name would be Rahul. Naam to suna hi hoga?
#1: EXPENSIVE CHIFFON SAREES & EXQUISITE FOREIGN SITES ARE A PART OF YOUR LOVE LIFE
Your boodha baap (old father) is on the verge of breathing his last, owing to the lack of medical facilities back home. But if you've fallen in love, grandeur will happen to you in the blink of an eye! R.I.P. boodha baap.
