It goes without saying that Bollywood movies rule our hearts. The way king of romance Shahrukh Khan propose the small town girl Kajol in movie DDLJ with open arms, the romace between Ranbir kapoor and Deepika Padukone in movie Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani makes the young generation believe in love and hence people often get confused and forget the real meaning of love and starts living their life full of fantasy like they see in cinemas. So, Team mangal parinay is here to tell you about the fine line between real and reel love life and making you aware of the real meaning of love.

True Love is like a mirror. It reflects the best and worst thing about you. It shows your strengths and your weakness too. Love teaches us how to take care of the One whom we have in our life. In reality, love is about all of those small little things that we seldom pay that much attention to, like the things that someone does for us when no one is looking and the many things that he or she does to make life just a little easier for you.Those are the gestures that show real love like giving a glass of water when your throat is choking not ordering a bouquet to say I love you. Everyday actions are the things that say I Love You the loudest.The things that we see on screen have nothing to do with real love.The background music, the perfect moments and all the jazz along with it are done in an ideal setting after many retakes.Young people tend to retain that notion as the one of love and when they come back to reality they expect the same which might result in let go of the person you love.

This is a dangerous trend and I really hope people are able to see beyond what the director wants.That real people are not perfect and hey, neither are you! You look for commitment and a feeling of wanting to stay with that special someone no matter how bad your mood gets or how tired you feel.That is what true love is which makes life beautiful not just the aesthetically pleasing elements we see on screen. Hence, Following are differences between reel life and real-life love.

1. Reel life: One person leaves everything to be with the person they love.

Real life: It’d be great at first, till they start pulling each others’ hair 5 years down the line

2. Reel life: Guy is a badass and a people’s person, but ends up falling for the nerd girl who is always quiet and reserved.

Real life: Guy is a people’s person, and doesn’t even know the quiet and reserved girl exists

3. Reel life: Nerdy girl/guy takes off glasses and dresses better, and becomes automatically sexy

Real life: Nerdy girl/guy takes off glasses and looks weird because no one has seen him/her without specs before

4. Reel life: The shy girl/guy, who is too shy to perform in public spaces, mesmerizes everyone with a wonderful performance

Real life: The shy girl/guy who doesn’t normally dance etc in public spaces probably really doesn’t know how to dance

5. Reel life: Background songs make us realize how the character is feeling

Real life: No background songs, so you have no fucking idea how they might be feeling

6. Reel life: Saying goodbye to someone you love at the airport is an emotional moment

Real life: The person you want to say goodbye to is already late, so they run before you can even get emotional

7. Reel life: When you say ‘I love you’ for the first time, the other person is feeling it too

Real life: You’re basically terrified of being the first one to say it loud

8. Reel life: One person is enough to fight all the bad guys

Real life: Only one bad guy is enough to scare the shit out of the person

9. Reel life: Guy keeps pursuing girl, girl gets convinced eventually and falls in love

Real life: Guy keeps pursuing girl, girl takes out pepper spray or lead that guy to jail.

10. Reel life: Girl meets bad guy, decides to turn him into a good guy

Real life: Girl meets bad guy, decides to change him but goes in vain, guy gets dumped, she goes to find a genuinely good guy.

11. Reel life: love is well written well in advance -financer ready to finance; producer ready to produce; distributors ready to purchase and distribute story

In real life – Better you experiment yourself. Perhaps you may get someone to love – take chance ..in real life -for real-life experience.

12. Reel life- There are few pairs who even after loving each other don’t live happily after like the one of Amitabh and Rekha in movie silsila.

Real life- Now there Shahrukh Khan- Gauri, Saira Bano and Dilip Kumar who makes us believe that real-life love stories are far better than reel love stories.

Love at first sight. In almost 99% Bollywood love stories, the hero “accidentally” sees the heroine in a perfect candid and he instantly falls for her..and he falls hard! In reality, no such thing exists. There is nothing called love at first sight. Do not ever fall into this trap. U cannot truly love someone without knowing them. Perfection. As we say, life ain’t a movie. And nobody is perfect. Yes..nobody!! In reality, even the girl playing that “sanskaari ladki” in the tv shows for whom every male in the plot falls for, laughs at her character’s stupidities.Happily ever after. The pair gets into a misunderstanding. They clear it in three hours. After it is sorted, The couple lives “happily ever after” really?? nooooo!! This just doesn’t happen in reality. U have ups and downs lasting ur entire life.

All said and done, though, Bollywood is what makes us what we are- crazy, optimistic, and always hopeful.So, dream on Bollywood style but be realistic and stay prepared for real love.
