These Badass Female Bollywood Characters Could Be The Major Inspiration For Heart Broken People!

Heartbreak, possibly the torturous phase that has ever existed in the realm of emotions. It changes you for forever. The pain that grows in heart slowly crawls to mind and takes over every thought. The popular folklore of lovers such as Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranjha, Shiri-Farhad, and others have already established that one can actually die in the name of love.

That isn’t all, Bollywood movies too have had displayed the agony of love that is completely relatable to real life. Just think of Geet from Jab We Met, the Kareena Kapoor’s character, which was jubilant in the first half, almost looked like a suit of a human who was dead inside yet had to breathe.

It kills to go through that period but as they say that hard times are as important as good times in life. They make you stronger. Earlier, the literacy rate of women was lower than we could imagine and in addition to that, they were never hardly allowed to follow their dreams. Having said that, women were left with no choice to depend on their partner. All they had was to hold on to love but with the change of time, they have become self-dependent and the matters of the heart are not as vulnerable as they were.

For starters, every individual has realized that no one is worth dying; unless they are still living under the rock and have no choice other than committing a crime of suicide.

Perhaps, the change of time, awakening of power and vast imagination has finally led them to believe that there are many things to look up to other than love but, the saddest part is that most of us are still struggling to figure out how to get over a certain person whom we have loved with all our hearts.

Heartbreaks leave us tangled in thoughts, depressed, looking for help but never asking for it. They say movies are the new teachers, however, it stands true as we do get to learn a thing or two about life from these motion pictures.

However, to understand the enigma of a heartbreak, here are some of the powerful female characters that can teach you that moving on from a heartbreak is easier than it looks and the only person you should love more than your life is – you.

1. Radhika – Bachna Ae Haseeno

When Ranbeer left Radhika at the altar, her feelings were crushed. However, rather than fading away in sadness, she took control of her life and became an international model, Shreya. She harnessed her pain and transformed into success. Now that’s some lesson.

2. Akira – Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Akira loved Samar (Shah Rukh Khan), who was already in love with someone else. She tried her best to make him fall in love with her yet Samar held on to his first love. Finally, Akira respected Samar’s choice and walked off keeping her head high to live a life of her choice.

3. Rani – Queen.

Just a day before marriage, Vijay tells Rani that he doesn’t want to marry her. She leaves for her honeymoon alone and discovers that it’s not Vijay who was making her happy. It’s her inner self that needed to be discovered again to lead a life that is satisfying.

4. Preeti – Chak De! India.

One of the most important player of Indian Hockey team Preeti gets insulted to think a career further after marriage with the vice-captain of Indian Cricket team. She chooses to follow her dreams and breaks off the marriage. She chose not to demean her existence. That was bold.

All of these badass female characters are pure inspiration. You just need to realize that one heartbreak should not define your life. You can either lose everything or turn it into a butterfly of happiness that never leaves your palm.
