Movie couples that would've broken up by now - Page 4

Raj and Simran from DDLJ. As much as I love DDLJ and its the ultimate romance, great romance does not mean great marriage. Theirs was a classic case of opposites attract. They had nothing in common. They barely knew each other well enough to make a lifelong commitment.

Did Simran really know what she wanted? Her desireshad always been secondary in her life. She always knew that her fate was sealed and had accepted it. Her dreams of romance were what every girl grows up with - the fairytale prince charming. But as every woman knows - that is not reality. It takes time and heartbreak to know that love is not a fairytale - but something that takes time and effort from two people equally. She chased a fairytale as soon as her heart fluttered. But is that what she really wanted for the rest of her life? Would she be happy in the world of a rich brat that was so different from hers? Would she fit into that high society? Would her simplicity and traditional demeanor always be embraced without questions? Is she ready for the lifestyle change?

Raj is probably a lot more sure of himself. He has had complete freedom in his life. He has dated and slept with many women. He is in a better place to know when he has met the right one. But is it truly love or is it the hubris of getting the girl you can't have? Does he actually love Simran or the idea of a good sanskari wife that desi men are taught to covet? Is a more traditional coy wife going to fit in well with his rich brat lifestyle?

But most likely they will never break up. Simran defied her family to be with Raj. She will not further embarrass them by getting a divorce. After all she was taught to be a good daughter and wife. She will stick it out and do her duty. No matter how unhappy she is, she will go through life with a smile.

The excitement of romance will soon wear down. Raj will find himself frustrated with a wife who is invested in motherhood and domesticity rather than him. After all he is used to the world revolving around him. He will be tempted many times by women who are willing to do that. But he will fight it because he loves his wife and family. But eventually, he will cave in.

There is no lack of love here. They still love each other the way they did when they caught that train. But there is a lack of compatibility and communication. So they live unhappily ever after.

Sridevi and Anil from Judai. Why they became one in the end is something I never even got. They would definitely divorce again 😆

Anjali and Rahul from KKHH --> I was never convinced of their love story tbh. Was a kid when I first saw the movie but never got the hoopla around their love story or the fairytale wala love feeling so rewatched it again as a teen and adult but I'm yet to be conviced that theirs was a epic forever wala love story... If they have gotten together at college they would have broken up six or seven months after dating and remained friends for life. Their story is a classic case of when two friends of opposite sex feels the platonic love they have for each other is romantic love. There was nothing in the first half that showed they had any sexual attraction/tension to suggest their love for each other is more than platonic. Anjali most probably had a crush was infatuated by Rahul was pining after the jerk Rahul for so long because her crush/love was unrequited and the less said about adult Rahul the better.

KKHH is movie I never connected even as a naive child but did cry when I thought they would never be together for some strange reason. Most probably the melodrama got to me.
