'Name the characters' Quiz.

            

       Agree it or not, but Bollywood movies have a great impact on our lives. It is the story, the songs and the characters that influence us in many good ways. There are many inspirational bollywood movies which contribute in transforming our lives and again, there are many characters from these movies who teach us so many things about life. When it comes to getting some valuable life lessons, these characters are the best teachers. I'm sure many of you must be looking up onto them to get some 'gyaan' about the beauty of life. Here's a list of some of my favourite zestful characters from some of the best bollywood movies. 

1) Aman (from- Kal Ho Naa Ho):

He has to be on the top of the list! He just deserves it. Kal Ho Naa Ho is one of those movies which has a permanent place in so many people's heart and Aman lives in our hearts rent free and he will stay there forever. I guess no one could have been a better choice than Shah Rukh Khan to play Aman's character. Aman is that person who takes us on an emotional roller-coaster throughout the film, right from giggles to laughs and then, there comes a point where tears just can't stop rolling down our cheeks. Aman is the one amiable character who teaches us a lot about life. The biggest lesson he gives us is to be grateful for whatever we have and learn to live life and love life, because, we never know if there's a tomorrow. His dialogue, "suno, jiyo, khush raho, muskurao, kya pata, kal ho naa ho" says it all. I think there's no need to elaborate his teachings further. 

2) Rancho (from- 3 Idiots):

Rancho- the mischievous, exuberant and adorable boy who sees life from a different perspective. He is that one guy who taught us, "Excellence ka peecha karo, success jhak maar ke tumhare peeche aayegi." He gives us so many valuable lessons of life which include: (i) Kaamyab hone ke liye nahi, kaabil hone ke liye padho, (ii) Future se itna daroge toh kya khaak jiyoge, (iii) All Is Well. Indeed, we all need a Baba Ranchoddas in our lives for learning to live life to the fullest and stop worrying about the unnecessary things. 

3) Geet (from- Jab We Met):

The 'Bhatinda Ki Sikhni- Geet', is a feisty girl. The one who catches a running train, talks non-stop, speaks her heart out and is also in love with life and herself. Her dialogue, "Main apni favourite hoon" has become each and everyone's dialogue these days because, she is the one who encouraged us to love ourselves. She teaches us not to overthink about each and every situation and always be happy in life. To be honest, whenever there is a situation in my life which is actually not going to matter much to me and whenever I find myself overthinking in such situations, I recall Geet's dialogue from the scene where she and Aditya hide on the terrace of her house to save themselves from her family, where she tells Aditya, "yeh jo waqt hai na yahaan, jo hum kaat rahe hai, bohot acha time hai, dekhna, aage chalkar hum isse yaad karenge aur hasenge" and I myself can't believe that it has been true in so many situations in my life which never needed that overthinking. 

4) Rianna (from- Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu):

Another beautiful character portrayed by Kareena Kapoor Khan which somewhat resembles Geet. Rianna, a 26 years old girl, who wanted to be a ballet dancer. But then, life had some different plans for her due to which she ended up being a hairstylist. Yet, she never hates life and surely knows how the make the most of every living moment. She then meets Rahul- a dull and young architect whose life is transformed completely after Rianna's entry into his life. Rianna changes his mentality, his personality and yes, also his hairstyle. Directly or indirectly, the lessons which she gives to Rahul have a lasting impact on us as well. She says it's ok to be average and tells how being average is nothing to worry about and also the one beauty of average people, "ke vo kuch bhi kam ya zyaada nahi karte, aur yeh quality bohot kam logo mein hoti hai."
