If you watch bollywood movies regularly, you are so screwed.
I agree 100%!!!!! I also went threw that phase and still do sometimes! I don't say that it happens to everyone, but only with the people who can't help themselves! And on the other hand there are also people who know that it's impossible for a perfect relationship and there's no such thing as a fantasy world!

Not every desi female has unrealistic expectations of love
Not every desi female watches bollywood movies expecting life to turn out like that
Not every desi female watches bollywood movies, period.
I agree! I was hit by the bollywood wave too. I thought the only way to find love was bollywood style - in college.
Also I use to think that just like in bollywood BOTH fall in love at the SAME time ----- THAT NEVER HAPPENS!
Reality hurts!
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
Tell me about it, brother.
ditto.
Yet another thread posted with the intent to provoke and nothing else 
and then women are accused of discussing and starting silly topics in this forum 
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
I grew up with Bollywood. One time I had watched about 8 different movies continuously for 24 hours. I was 15 or 16 then - and we were watching together - me and my friends collection.
how stupid (we did not even listen to mom and dad shouting).
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
I used to think I'd meet my soul mate on a plane - he's be sitting next to me entirely coincidentally! Yeah - definitely Bollywoodish.
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
Yeah I read this article in The Daily Mirror (i think it was) today. 
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
i used to stand at Waterloo station waitng for my Raj to come and he never did come…:hinna:
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
That’s because he never really loved you silly 
. He always liked the poor girl who sang in the rain and her makeup never came off.
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love

Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
Yeah, next time use good quality makeup 
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
Bollywood gave me unrealistic expectations of desi men for sure! I used to think we would sing and dance in the rain when I was a kid...lol
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
i think its more disturbing that people DO think they their lives are a STARPLUS drama... that i dont understand.
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
I've never been a bolly-holic. But Disney cheese-fests, Jane Austen, and other 18th-19th century British novels have set the bar high.
Despite that, I got my prince charming. He prefers to think of himself as my "dark knight."
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
I think there is a group on Facebook called "Bollywood movies gave me unrealistic expectations about men"...or something like that
The article mentions:

Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.
[/QUOTE]
I do think thats true, alot of women have this idea that if he loves he should know without me saying anything (know what I want or know why Im sad/upset or know what I mean when I am silent etc etc)
Re: Desi females have unrealistic expectations of love
i think to a certain extent all teenagers go through such a phase =\ and then come to reality
and sum dont 
go for a gori or asian or become a celibate.
