Big Time Drama
One of the appeals of Hindi drama is their ability to coax the tears from your eyes, from a mere trickle to a torrent. I've just finished watching Vivah on Astro Kirana. I figured that it means 'marriage' from the conversations the characters had & based on the subtitles. My only big question is: Do such a man exist?
The cynic in me says that he is a mere figment of the director's (or the director's wife's) imagination- he does not exist. What man would take a wife with 3rd degree burns when is he's honest-to-God gorgeous and rich and can have any woman he wants?
However, the romantic in me is swooning- how sweet! She suffered burns trying to rescue her cousin/sister in a fire (on her wedding eve, no less) ; gets the approval from her estranged aunt/mother as a result AND gets to keep her man. Only a Hindi movie is able to pull off a plot like that and make you bawl your eyes out.
Final answer- this man probably represent 0.0001% of the world population, he's more likely to be a fantasy.
