Bollywood Crush: Fashion, Music, ... etc


I remeber the exact moment when I was formally introduced to the Bollywood scene was when I was at my local beauty salon. My hairstylist loves to watch Sopa Operas, Hatian Movies, and African movies. I for one never cared for Sopa Operas let alone American sopa operas. They always seem over the top and unrealistic for my taste life does not come with a dramatic soundtrack and revovle around twenty people living in a small town. The vibrant colors of their attire caught my attention at first and the romantic story line followed the show was called Kitani Mohabbat Hai and I fell in love with the main characters like America fell in love Rose&Jack, Edward&Bella, but this time it was Ahori&Arjun. But what amaze me throughout the whole tv series is that they never actually kissed on screen, and there was 175 episodes !!! In this heavily over-sexaulized society we like to see that magical kiss or passionate scene between the two star-crossed lovers. But I realized that isn't always need to keep your viewers hooked. It was the simple art of true courtship that I admire between the two characters. Though it is in Hindi english subtitles are provided. Here's a preview...
