Almost every Indian girl has dreamed of finding their ladka extending his hand to help her get on a running train, or doing the most extravagant stunts to win her heart. Although we are aware that this only happens in movies and are very unrealistic (at least some of us are), we can’t help but fantasize about how we meet “the one”. But do you really want to meet the boy of your dreams in the exact same way as portrayed in Indian movies? If so, then look out for these key factors:
1. He is literally everywhere you are.
I mean this one is a no-brainer considering he most likely already knows where you live, where you go to school/college/work and your favorite places to go by “romantically” stalking you for weeks or even months. He’s definitely a k(r)eeper, whether you like it or not.
2. He hits on you like there’s no tomorrow.
I’m sure you fell head-over-heels for a guy whose first words to you were that “you’re hot,” or something to that effect. It’s especially sweet when he hands you a rose and a love letter that basically describes how hot your body is. That’ll be a great story to tell your kids on how you first met.
Every girl dreams of having their man -- I mean bring you on a very spontaneous adventure without you knowing at all whatsoever. Pack your clothes and necessities? Check your schedule? There’s no time for all that when he shows up to your house and insists you come in his car or board that plane with him just to dance and sing to songs about how much you love each other. So romantic.
4. Fights off all the bad guys to prove his love for you.
Nothing is more attractive than your man literally butchering and slaying random bad guys that just so happen to show up -- especially the ones that your dad apparently sent over. I’m sure you totally love watching your relatives being killed in front of you because this guy is so worth all of it.
5. He's at least 10 years older than you.
Especially for all you "Om Shanti Om" lovers: You can’t possibly find “the one” if he’s not at least almost the same age as one of your parents. You think that you should be with someone your own age? You might want to think again if you’re looking for a true authentic Indian movie romance.
6. He has an unusually insane amount of strength.
I mean there’s a reason almost all Indian actors have a chiseled body, right? In all honestly though, if he’s not able to flip 10 cars with one hand and cause the earth to shake by punching the ground once with his other hand, he’s not worth it.
And there you have it! Now do you still want that Indian-movie romance, or something more realistic to call your own original love story?
