How Bollywood has changed my opinion on Romance!

Bollywood has been a huge part of my life since I was extremely young and really, who is an Indian who hasn't seen a Bollywood movie and had a crush on a Khan or a Kapoor? Considering it is the second biggest movie industry in the world, Bollywood has had a huge impact on a lot of things, but most importantly it has changed the way I look at romance and the perfect partner!

1. When you meet "the one" violins and drums will start playing, a pleasant breeze will blow past your face and flowers will drop from the sky. That's when you know you're in love...

2. The guy of your dreams will always be called Rahul (thanks Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan).

Ok, maybe you can forgive him if he looks this great for not having a name like Rahul! 

3. You will meet this guy at either the most scenic locations around the world or on a train or a bus (basically any mode of transport). So if you don't travel much, too bad for you, no love in your kismat (fortune)! 

4. You will never fall in love with him/her if he can't sing you that perfect song and of course dance with a troupe of 50 other back up dancers!

5. He will kiss your tears away no matter why you are shedding them. That's when you know you've got everlasting love.

6.  If you ever get married, it HAS to be in this perfect palace with you wearing the best 'Joda' available and a whole ton of people who will cry when it's time for your bidaai. 

7. He should be fine to make a fool of himself when needed and at the same time be a responsible adult when he absolutely needs to. This change can happen in a day if NEEDED. 

8. Romantic moments always have to have a background music of either violins or saxophones! I mean really, what is romance without some awesome music? 

Curse you Bollywood, for all these expectations  you've put in my head
