With Delhi 6, Rakesh Mehra brings together Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, son and daughter of two Bollywood superstars (Amitabh and Anil Kapoor) of the 80s. Mehra’s last film, Rang De Basanti was critically acclaimed, raked in the moolah at the box-office and swept most awards. Undoubtedly the expectations are high, does Delhi 6 live upto it?
Delhi 6 is about Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) a half-hindu half-muslim boy from US of Indian origin. He comes to India with his grandmother (Waheeda Rehman), who wishes to spend the last days of her life in her hometown. Roshan is amazed by the love, warmth and the sheer madness of the area. Soon he meets Bittu (Sonam Kapoor), who dreams of making it big at the Indian Idol and is quite desperate not to marry the guy her father chooses for her. What happens next forms the rest of the Delhi 6 tale!
Delhi 6 Review
10 things that didnt work in Delhi 6
- The pace of the film is too slow. The first hour is a complete drag, it picks up slightly post interval but the last 20 – 30 mins is a let down.
- The film lacks sense! There is something called Kaala Bandar in the area, which Abhishek explains (to the people) was seen, yet invisible! How can anything be seen, yet be invisible?
- The film reminds you of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Swades and Madhuri Dixit’s Aaja Nachle at times
- There is so much happening in the film and in the locality, add to it the many characters and stories that Mehra has squeezed into Delhi 6, it gets highly monotonous to sit through. You dont really know, what to see, where to see, what to understand or what to take out of the film!
- Sonam Kapoor has limited screen-time. It takes about quarter of an hour, for the most relatable character in the film, to actually mouth her first dialogue.
- The film ends up being too preachy.
- Without revealing much, the typical happy-happy ending actually works against the film. Not to mention the over dramatic scenes involving Abhishek during the climax.
- Abhishek Bachchan’s performance was disappointing to say the least.
- The cinematography was below average
- The whole lovemaking scene involving Cyrus Sahukar. Pathetic! Was that meant to be funny Mr Mehra?
The 3 saving graces of Delhi 6
- Sonam Kapoor – Brilliant as Bittu
- The character actors – did a fantastic job. Especially Vijay Raaz and Pawan Malhotra. Aditi Rao, Sonam’s aunt in the film, deserves a special mention – great screen presence.
- The music – A.R. Rehman rocks!
Overall, Delhi 6 is one of the biggest disappointments of the year. A ludicrous film that’s not worth the price of your ticket.

A bigggggg disappointment….. This is rather an Art movie than a commertial ones. I like art movies but this one lacked intense acting. The role never suited Abhishek. Storyline could have been much better. This could have been a remarkable movie with the theme that was chosen, but deplorable acting made it look like a total nuisance. This could have been far far far better.
I cant say Abhishek is a bad actor. I have seen “Guru” and for sure he has the potential. But this is like tauba tauba tauba where he could have easily won an award for the movie. Ruined it completely.
@Prashant:
Buddy you are very right about the ideologies that are presented/depicted in the movie and that is why I mentioned in my earlier comment that this movie could have been far far far better and could have easily won national awards.
But my friend the performance/direction/narration with some cheesy dialogs made it some miserable. Had this been a quality performance what a treasure this could had been…
I don’t agree with you or would recommend anyone to watch this movie. Rakesh Mehra is not Shyam Benegal.
Swapnil: I saw RDB twice, when I saw it in cinema for the 1st time and I got bored, didn’t like the direction, so after the hype for this movie and the success at the box office, I saw it once again on a dvd, but couldn’t change my mind.. each one of us see any movie from different perspective, our choices, tastes are different.. If you’d ask me which one of the following movies are the best: RDB, Billu Barber, Ghajini, OSO ( 2 blockbusters, 1 super hit and one which is Billue Barber an average movie, I’d say that I considered Billu is the best among these 4 movies.. and the reason is: the message in this movie, a meaningful story, a different script.. I love new scripts.
Avoid this movie…Nothing more to say
if it is such a beautiful sensitive movie why has it flopped ..are people watching it not sensitive?? oh !! they are not sensitive towards rakeysh mehra in giving him a hit?!!!!
@priyamvada
You are right about the sensitivity of the movie.. But may be most of the people did not like the senseless acting.
I loved the film!!!!!
there is no question of liking this film at all the factors…
1. abhishek bachchan himself ..the flop maestro himself..his wooden ugly face raises dislike immensely
2.sonam irritates .there is no reason for a bubbly vivacious girl to fall in love with our disaster looking hero
3.the music which stops the narrative so many times and the flow doesnt register
4.the character actors have nothing to add to the finale
5.the mother son ceases midway kala bandar takes over
6.kala bandar has no meaning to the narrative the hindu muslim divvide is very clear without its use
6 needless use of amitabh in the end for his son
7.ramaleela scenes do not carrry any meaning do not even make a satirical statement
8 old delhi jalebis etc is known to eveybody there is nothing new to show
9dialogues are meaningless do not make your thinking cells to charge
10.poor direction..te message moral of the story not clear
end result a flop show well abhishek is used to this poor girl ..just when she thinks whes had the best the directors rise to the occasion and make a mess of it all for her..unbelievable unenviable luck…
I don’t know why some of u consider Abhishek as “ugly”?! He’s not ugly, he just needs to work on his look, after Dostana, I considered him one of the best actors in bollywood.. let’s wait and see his upcoming movie Ravaan with his wife .. I think that’s the name, and he doesn’t look good in this movie, he lost weight, wearing a cap, but his role might require this, we don’t know only after watching.
i think not only is abhishek ugly but also atrocious worst dressed ..pathetic to tolerate..has only given five hits and none of them are to his credit..dhoom dhoom2 bluffmaster guru and somehow dostana and the credit for all lies elsewhere..he is surely the bundle master and lacks looks of a typical norht hero he lacks class ..have alook at him in thre idea ad and you would know ..his marriage to middle age woman too is a deterrant ..no wonder his film has flopped ..he had two disasters last year ,,drona dostana and this one also sarts with d…amazing…..hai na
To the last comment I totally agree with you. Abhishek’s marriage to ash is just a deterrent, and not only that but if some of you have noticed alot of the movies that are hits of his have his wife in them, and I think they are only doing well because of her. Guru, and in dhoom 2 no doubt although hrithik had the so called negative role how out performed abhishek, and next to hrithik roshan he looked like a bander, and hrithik looked more better with ash than she does with her own husband in real life, and correct me if I’m wrong dostana wasn’t as a big as a hit as some people think, I personally didn’t like the movie. Most of the time, when his movies are hits its got more to do with the acting of the other people than it does with abhishek. I think drona so far as been one of his worst movies but I hardly watched a half hour of delhi 6 and I just couldn’t take it anymore. All I saw abhishek doing was just standing around in all the scenes hardly speaking while everyone was acting more as compared to him. Last but not least I don’t know what is up with his new look lately its so crappy looking, I just don’t see what ash sees in him, but then again it might come as a surprise to everyone but I never liked ash very much, she acted well in dhoom 2 and jodhaa akbar but I never thought of her as truly being beautiful.
To the last comment very true I don’t know how I over looked the fact that most of his last movies starting with “d” have flopped but then how do you explain dhoom 2 but like I already said most of the credit goes to his wife and hrithik roshan I guess, when I watched that movie I just felt like slapping him off the screen.
Hello Kiran:
Well with me, I find Aishwariya a beautiful woman ( but my favourite beautiful woman is Monica Belluchi), Abhishek neither he’s ugly nor he’s handsome, he’s ok, if he works harder on his look, his hair, his weight, his clothes, he’d look better. Drona & Delhi6 weren’t good movies, Guru was a hit movie but was a bit slow & boring ( and I don’t know why Blufmaster was a hit one?!!!) but Dostana was the best for Abhishek.. most of the people here on this website didn’t like Dostana, only few did although it was a hit movie overseas and in our country) and we all considered it as one of the best romantic comedy of 2008. If you’d compare Dostana with Golmaal Returns which was a hit movie in India, I would say that Dostana is the best and Golmaal is the worst!
Hi Fathiya
I don’t know where you are from but when I said dostana wasn’t a hit I go by how it does all around like in india and overseas for the most part and it wasn’t as big of a hit as was expected. That karan johar needs to get the hell out of US and go make more simple down to earth movies in India. I mean I live in Canada and I’m a second generation Indian and I see how Indians who come from India behave like especially all these freshie guys, who are ugly as hell and they think that just because they got some engineering or college degree they think by default that nullifies or somehow excuses them from having no personality and no charm charisma whatsoever and they think some blonde babes will follow head over heels with them and they think they will become rich within 6 months to a year after arriving in this country and when they don’t get anything or their dreams don’t come true then they have to go back to India and marry some ugly backward illiterate girl who can’t seem to detach herself from her family and she will keep on eating his brains out to go back to India and they are so spineless.
My point is that movies like dostans can really give Indians back in India the wrong idea about life here in this country I mean two well I don’t think abhishek is good looking but John abraham is two bulky or hunky looking guys and a model looking girl and really top of the line upscale luxury apartment and living the so called good life. HELLO!! Where in the hell do you see this in everyday real life, Most of karan johars’ movies are like that everyone is always perfectly dressed big houses great jobs and they never seem to have budget problem, I mean if this isn’t sending out the wrong message then what is. Slumdog millionaire which showed reality everybody was up in arms about that, when if fact a great majority of the Indian population I mean its a country of 1+ billion do live like that to some extent. Lets not just go by what we see in the movies.
As for ash I don’t find her beautiful because I just don’t see the sweetness the simplicity the softness in her face and she has got such a stupid smile which looks so fake whenever she does smile, and no big deal in this country every second person has got fair skin and blue eyes, no biggie for me, so my sister and I have got fair skin and we got so many compiments and I personally have been told I got a great smile and think so to, so when I see ash I don’t see what the hell everyone is going so gaga over. I personally think a really beautiful Indian girl is one with really nice long dark thick hair nice big brown doe eyes and a innocent sweet look on her face and nice smile not what I see in ash. Sorry but that’s just my opinion ash is not a good representative of the common indian girl and lets not forget even she’s getting old.
have you two not had enough ??? do you want more ?? get off this forum now !! spiderman is coming to get you !!
NO YOU GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!
hello kiran and faathiya this movie is the pits in terms of cinematic expression..wonder what mehra wanted to convey!!! as regards bachchan you should have seen him in the filmfare awards ceremony!!!his banter in the front row was that of a man suffering from some sort of complex ..the constant cheering whistling etc was too put off .next to him sat a very motherly looking aish plump after her marriage and the hollow cheek bones giving way to puffed up cheeks mr abhishek has a new weird hairdo which he assumes quite chick but in all looks it is a damner..neil nitin mukesh looked so radiant in comparison and that is where the difference lies ..abhishek has achieved his success because of his dad and his connections but neil is still down and struggling ..but soon he will come up and show this tamil looking guy what real talent is..all the films ive named have seen no major contribtion from him i missed sarkar and sarkar raj but everyone knows his presence didnt carry any weight ..last years dostana and drona according to me were the worst in cinema till this dud came around hopefully he will continue the trend and one day disappear forever leaving us in peace ..also he must start looking forward to becoming a father now ..and do some baby sitting he will be better off without his acting boots ..his wife can work in some hollywood duds and look after both of them
Hey there Priyamvada
I couldn’t have said any better myself!!!!! I totally 100% agree with you. Yeah ash was kind of looking motherly and his new hairdo and that newly styled moustache or something he looks like a gunda from bihar or something. I mean he is soo sooo desperate to do anything that will get people or the media talking about him again. I don’t care what anyone thinks, none of his (so called hits) are really because of him, I would give all the credit to his co-stars but none thanks to him. I’m convinced of one thing though, I think ash just married him so that she could secure her future in bollywood in terms of a career and secure herself finacially by marrying into the bachan clan, because even she’s not getting any younger I mean she must also be knowing that she can’t remain at the top forever so I think she just married that bander not out of love but more of a compromise. You’re right also I always felt any recognition he’s gotten is because of his dad. It’s no big secret that amitabh has a good rapport with alot of producers and directors. Like drona is made by goldie behl because he’s friends with the bachans, in their movie kuch na kaho that was made by the son of ramesh sippy who made sholay again abhshek got that because of personal favors.
Lets not forget about k3g originally amitabh wanted to have abhishek cast instead of hrithik and then he and karan johar had some cold vibes because of that and then they starred together in that ridulous kank, where sharukh was deliberately given the bad role of a cheating husband, and amitabh was so annoying in that movie. Somebody outa tell bachan jr. to stop riding on his dad’s back and be a man. But as you said and I always say the same thing myself he should just have a baby and put his time to better use by babysitting and that stuck bitch can go to work.
Kiran: I am a Bahraini Persian, not Arab, I think you’ve concentrated on the message in Dostana only and not on the (whole), the funny script, the direction, the cinematography, the performance, the songs, etc., and I didn’t feel that there was any bad message in the movie.. nothing was serious in this movie, it was an entertaining one with some good songs, that’s all and I already wrote my comments under the movie review, if u wish to read them.
Aishwariya was really beautiful in Filmfare awards, I loved her makeup, hairstyle, her sari, but what I don’t like about her that whenever we we see her in any awards functions, we find her sticking to her father in law more than her husband!!
A question for Priyamvada: Is Neil Mukesh really Indian, a pure Indian?! He’s blond and his features like western people.. is his mom a british or american citizen?
Kiran: be ready.. this stupid Raj is coming back again on this forum!
get out now !! waste of space. pea brain sad slags.
Hi Fathiya
Well sorry to say I don’t agree on dostana with you, but lets leave it a that I mean everyone has got a personal preference in the end they like or don’t I live In canada so I know that that movie was bit unrealistic, I didn’t neccessarily say that it was giving a bad message what I meant to say it was giving a misleading message.
As for ash always sticking to her father-in-law more than her husband that’s what I’ve said earlier, she only married into the bachan clan for fame and money, and I think she’s just trying to show how much more responsible she is and trying to win her father-in-law’s confidence so that one day he leaves her all his money I guess.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing about neil nitin mukesh myself he totally doesn’t look Indian. But then again even I don’t look Indian, people have come up to me so many times and tryed guessing my backround and I got everything except Indian because I’ve got very fair skin and my features just don’t look like that of an Indian, actually that’s just because my origins are originally rooted in Persia and my ancestors were of Aryan descent and they were from persia. So I guess this neil nitin mukesh might be something of that, because fair skin and blue green eyes these are not physical features that are usually attributed to the Indian population which is why north Indians are always more fair as compared to South Indians who are very dark because the north got attacked by turks persians and everything.
Don’t worry fathiya we won’t even respond to this rotten stinking pig, haven’t you ever heard that saying in hindi, dogs bit people but people don’t bite dogs, so lets just igore this loser, the fact that we didn’t even say anything to him this time and he’s trying to start his crap again just shows he’s got no life.
Lets not even respond one word to him and go on with our more useful comments okay.
Kiran: My favourite movies which I watched last year were : Rabne Banade, Fashion, Rock On & Dostana.. ( and the best was Rabne.. I just love Shahrukh and I don’t see any actor who’s better than him).
About Neil Mukesh ( I like him too, and when I saw him for 1st time, I had a feeling that he’ll be one of the biggest superstars of bollywood, not only bollywod but he’ll make to hollywood too.. I had this feeling when I saw Shahrukh for 1st time in Deewana, that he’ll be a super star and my feeling was correct.. and I’m sure that this man Neil will grow big too).
About Aishwariya, she’s not after money but after the continuous success and fame.. that’s what I feel, or there must’ve be another reason that she’s sticking to her father in law “always” he could be the main reason for her to marry his son! noone knows.. probably she was in love with bigb when she was very young, and that’s the main reason for her to marry his son, as it’s not possible for her to marry him! I don’t like to say all this but everyone notice her attitude while she’s with both of them!
About this stupid Raj, let him just go to hell, even if he tells you the worst of the words, never reply ( and I’m sure that he’s working on that.. searching in the dictionary for the worst to attack us with!!) the best u do is to ignore and report him to Indicine Team.
Kiran: a question: Why did Indicine team said once that you and Punjabi Sher who vanished from this website now, got the same ID?
Hi Fathiya
well don’t know there must have been some confusion, you know how these guys are, I mean you haven’t seen punjabi sher around lately have you?? And this raj just showed up again from nowhere, I guess they must have used my name also. But that’s in the past now.
As for ash, well like I said yeah she is doing it for fame and money, both. Once you get used to a certain lifestyle its hard to let go of it. And I’ve always also felt that amitabh has had more to do with encouraging abhishek to go after ash and marry her, when everyone thought that he looked much better with rani mukerjee. I guess amitabh didn’t want abhishek to marry rani since he thought their kids will not be that good looking with ash any kid out of her will somewhat decent looking. I’m sorry to say abhishek just looks like a lallu, a guy with no balls. Another reason why ash is always cling to her father in law more is it just goes to show you who is really runnig the show at home, amitabh of course. Whatever little success abhishek has had is because of amitabh holding his finger and walking him through it all, but how long can he drag his son like this, I think he will just one day dissappear from the movie scene, his wife ash is still somewhat okay, but she’s getting old. It’s been 9 years since he came into movies and he’s still famous for making so many flops. Abhishek doesn’t know who to act when you see him on screen he doesn’t have any expressions, no emotions and he just looks dead on the screen, and plus I think he’s really boring and not enjoyable to watch. Unlike hrithik roshan we always expect something great out of him, and he’s a really good actor, dancer, and much better looking that abhishek, and unlike abhishek hrithik’s dad doesn’t pamper and baby his son so much, hrithik I think has geniunely established himself as a good actor on his own merits, even though he doesn act in his dad’s productions he’s a born good actor. After dhoom 2 I don’t think abhishek will ever act with him again. I almost feel sorry for abhishek he tries so hard to outshine sharukh and hrithik but nothing seems to work. Oh well.
don’t worry I’m not even going to post one word to this raj.
Kiran: Anyway, it’s their personal life, we judge people’s behaviour but we might be wrong.
About Abhishek: Did u watch Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna? If you did, what’s your opinion about those difficult and serious scenes which Abhishek performed, when he discovered Rani, his wife was unfaithful to him? Didn’t u find him so good as an actor in those scenes? What about his acting in Guru?
I think we’ve to blame also the directors, and if u notice, sometimes some actors do very well when they work with some good directors, and sometimes they give us their worst! e.g. Hurman Baweja, did 2 movies which are: LS2050 and Victory, but his acting wasn’t so good, not bad, but not also that good, I’m waiting to see him in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie, I think he’ll perform at his best while working with him.
Hi Fathiya
Yeah I did watch KANK, but again abhishek starring with his and in sarkar and sarkar raj, I mean when I judge him I don’t just look at one or two scenes but rather his overall appearance and the way he comes across. For that matter even hrithik roshan has been in alot of flop movies, but when he acts regardless of whether the story is good or not, he can at least show that he knows how to act, with hrithik roshan he is so talented that the directors have to know who to tap into his talent the right way. With abhishek its not like that, its like no matter how hard amitabh tries to get him all the high banner movies no matter what kind of story lines you give him there is just something about him that is not enjoyable to watch and he doesn’t have a dominating screen presence. In short I don’t think he should be an actor, and I guess being the son of amitabh he was spoiled while growing up and he quit his studies to act. Whereas hrithik use to work as a normal employee on his dad’s productions like so many others, he never use to get special treatment and had to stay in run down hotels when they were shooting on location and you can see that hrithik really puts effort into his acting and he came up on his own merit. I don’t see his dad always going around getting movies for him and promoting him now does he.
You’re right sometimes directors are bad and don’t have good storylines. But if I have to compare it to something its like this. Sometimes a teacher can be bad at teaching but ultimately you have to go and sit down and really learn the material yourself if you remember when you were in school right? To me acting is something like that, the director can only do his job which is direct, but its up to the actor to put his best forward, and I’m sorry to say abhishek just doesn’t have it in him compared to sharukh and hrithik and so many others. In kabhi alvida na kehna amitabh made karan johar give the negative role to sharukh so that he looks bad but still it didn’t work. By the way I didn’t like this movie at all, all I saw were two people who for no reason were hell bent on ruining their marriages, to me with the exception of a few things like cheating physical abuse, or something extremely serious there is nothing that can’t be fixed in a marriage. So for that reason I hated kank, but in real life it usually doesn’t ever turn out so rosy. I mean I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say cheating was the best thing they ever did. Rani in that movie even before she got married was in doubt so why the hell even get married. Another thing the friendship shown between amitabh and kirron kher was so fake, I have yet to see the common Indian behaving that way, and living such a modern hi fi lifestyle, I mean I’m for modernization but I never forget about my roots, like acting all white and all that, Indians for some reason always seem to pick up all the bad stuff from western cultures, and these whites don’t want to learn even 1% of good Indian culture.
As for harman baweja, I personally found LS2050 so boring I had to turn it off, it had no story, and I didn’t like victory much either I can’t stand cricket I don’t know anything about this boring sport. I really liked chak de India alot, sometimes I just can’t get enough of it.
OH! Sorry this was long. But I guess you will look forward to MY Name Is Khan, again no points for guessing, as usual Karan Johar will make it in New York with Sharukh and Kajol of course, everyone dressed in perfect stlyish modern clothes living in a big house, with no shortage of money and all hyped up. But anyways I’ll watch just for kajol, she’s a great actress.
Fathiya
I just wanted to say also that I think you mentioned you liked deewana, yeah deewana was a great movie with great songs. I was just wondering have you ever seen sharukh in the movie Maya Memsaab. I don’t know if too many people have heard of that movie I know I hadn’t until I just came upon on it. But I couldn’t believe it, in the movie there is a scene with sharukh in a really steamy bedroom scene, NAKED!! They actually show his back side for a second. I just thought since you’re such a big sharukh fan if you had ever heard of it. Sometimes when you think of his movies like this one and darr, you wonder wow! he acted so innocently in rab ne bana di jodi, which I just loved, my own guy is a bit like him very innocent no previous girlfriends whatsoever, and compared to him I bit more of a lively stylish person. So to us it seemed like our story only we both are together of our own choice, otherwise everything else is the same.
Hi Kiran: I’m in a hurry to go out and will get back to you this evening, to reply to your comments.
What I can say now is that: betrayal is something which can’t be forgiven.. I’m saying this based on my private life, my love marriage.. I was in love when I was 18 years old for 3 years, a strong relationship, with family rejection.. exactly like indian movies, but finally, we got married and lived happily.. he betrayed after 7 years, found another woman, so I left him and could never forgive him although he was so sorry and was crying for me, to forgive him, but I couldn’t.. I was shattered, very sad coz I loved him so much, he was my life ( when I used to see the movie Arth for Shabana Azmi, which was released during my sad days, I used to cry and cry coz it was exactly like my story except that my marriage was based on a love story but Shabana’s marriage wasn’t in the movie.. moreover.. I look like Shabana when she was in the late 80’s or starting of 90’s, everyone used to tell me this), and when I brokeup with him, decided to forget my past and start a new life, start a new chapter, to omit everything relates to my past, to forget all the happy moments and just to remember the bad ones, the worst year of my life. For 10 years, he had a hope that I’d change my mind, but I didnt.. he changed after 7 years of our marriage and I told him the following: you’re a blind man now and don’t know that you ruined your hapy life for a “desire” for the sake of a trashy woman, but you’ll be sorry when it’s too late” and what I said.. happened.. exactly after 7 years of his marriage, she brokeup with him for no reason! left him with his 4 kids and asked for a divorce.. now he’s living alone and a miserable life.
Will get back to you later.
Hi Fathiya
Oh my God!! I had no idea all this happened to you. Yeah I know exactly what you mean I have seen arth. Like I said in my previous reply with the exception of cheating and physical abuse (in my opinion there is no excuse that can justify such behavior) there’s nothing that can’t be fixed. You did absolutely the right thing. I mean you left that SOB for your family and this is how he repaid you!! You sound like a great person, and a very strong one for that matter, just like me but judging from your talks I think you are much older than me, but sometimes maturity doesn’t limit itself to a certain age. I see people who are like in their 50’s and 60’s and are stupid as hell and I’ve come across really young kids who are so sweet and very well thought in their thoughts. Yeah I know I’ve had the same problem because I have someone in my life of my own choice and my family doesn’t like it because they can’t stand to see my happiness just because I’m a girl. They think girls are meant to be sex, baby making, cooking cleaing machines for their husbands, and I guess alot of guys have this attitude as well. But I just told them go to hell. I guess your husband was living in a dream world he must have thought that just because he’s a man its his birth right to cheat but how would he have felt if you did the same thing to him. What’s goes around comes around and his so called other woman kicked him to the curb. This is going to happen sooner or later to most guys who cheat and like I have said somewhere under my rab ne bana di jodi section, these young looks and glamour only last a few days, but your morals character and heart will last forever, and if you lose that you have lost everything. I often hear the same line when someone has cheated “oh it was just an accident it it just kinda happened”. They make it sound like cheating is pissing, that it just comes and happens. I think its all premediated and takes alot of effort to lie to your spouse start an affair go to a hotel or wherever and screw that person, so I don’t see how all these actions can just happen. Your husband only came back to you when she kicked him to the curb. But believe me he wasn’t really sorry cuz if he had been he wouldn’t have done that to you, and I think it was only you who cared about him. And what did you say she left him with his own 4 kids, I mean I don’t mean to be asking personal questions but he had 4 kids with her!!!
Yeah I’m just like you I’ve got no patience, tolerance whatsoever so such kind of bullshit. You’ve seen arth right?? I don’t know if you ever saw that stupid movie Dil Kya Kare, that was also about cheating and having two woman, and in that movie Mahima also had a love marriage and left everything for Ajay devgan, and he cheated on her, why?? I never understood whenever I have ever seen that movie, whatever justification they were trying to give in that movie never made any sense to me.
Kiran: we started talking about personal issues, but I can’t on this forum write everything as my story is very long, I need to issue a book out of it.. that’s what my children ask me often, to issue a book, and I’m capable of doing it coz I write articles in our local newspapers since 13 years, but I need time to do it which I don’t get.
He loved me so much and can’t explain here everything, but men can’t risist some other women after years of marriage.. do u know Kiran that during 3 years of our love story, and while he was abroad, studying in London and we used to write to each other letters daily, on a daily basis ( we never used computers on those days, in 70’s) so it was letters.. I’ve collected 365 letters.. can u belive that! I kept them in a box after my marriage, with the flowers and roses he used to gift me.. it was all my treasure.. I loved our love letters.. do u know what I did when I found out that he’s betraying? I put them in a bath tap and burned them.. in those moments, I felt I burnt my heart & my soul and lost everything with those letters, and it was the end of my relationship with him.
Let me reply to some of yr questions:
1) yes he got 4 kids from the 2nd wife. I got 3
2) In the movie Arth, in the last scene of the movie, Shabana asks her husband: what if she did the same.. betrayed him.. would he be able to forgive her.. and he replies: no. ( can u believe that I asked him the same question when I found out everything but he didn’t say (no) he just kept quiet.
3) You can read my opinion about men under the page about Hrithik Roshan having an affair with the western lady, his costar in his upcoming movie “kites” read please what I wrote there.
4) That crap movie “Dil Kiya Kare”, that was just stupid.. I remember I saw it with my sister at the cinema and we laughed! How would this be possible and would happen in our real life?!!! Someone just met a woman on a train, and after one meeting, and in the same time, she agreed to sleep with him?!! do u think this happens in East?!!! not only that, they fell in love in those moments but neither he gave her his contact no. nor she did!!
Kiran: I went through a lot in my life.. love is blind.. love is sweet & bitter in the same time.. therefore, after the divorce, I decided not to marry again and to live my life free from this headache.
This is all I can tell you on this forum, and excuse us guys.. but I think you’ll learn something after reading my story.
Woh
Yeah you do seem to have gone through alot. I mean hats off to you, most women just for the sake of money would have put up with the bullshit, because they have been taught that its a woman’s destiny to take all this crap. But you did absolutely the right thing, and stuck up for yourself and held your head high.
But at least you got your 3 kids and I’m sure you instill great values in them.
Yeah dil kya kare was a very stupid movie. I mean what if in the train scene kajol had been an elderly woman old enough to be ajay devgan’s mother instead, would he have slept with her also. I mean they thought they were going to die or something and wanted to enjoy their last moments or something. I still haven’t figured with all that nonsense talk kajol did in the end in the court room scene.
But there is something called destiny which we can’t change, and I guess you and your ex-husband’s were only meant together for only that much. But I totally understand what you mean when you say didn’t want to bother getting married again. I know most men are pigs, and instead of having to go through all that bullshit its better to live with your self respect, sanity and everything intact than have another wild hog come along and ruin it. I’m glad you did what you did, I just want to scream and hit woman who compromise out of fear of getting left all alone. I mean why even take him back when he has already shared himself with someone else physically and emotionally, that’s like eating somebody’s leftover food. I mean parents brothers sister, friends relatives are all common and meant to be shared but there should be something that only belongs to you and should remain yours forever but I guess most people don’t understand that. I guess some people are just so confused and don’t know what they want out of life. Which is why stupid masala filled ridculous movies appeal to so many people and movies like rab ne bana di jodi people find it stupid because its too laid back and slow for them.
Thank god, on this stupid movie delhi 6 for the most part people agree its a crap. What you mentioned somewhere about hrithik having an affair. What are you saying?? He’s happily married and has 2 kids even I think planning for 3rd one. I’ve never heard anything about him getting involved with anyone other than his wife. Some years back the media linked him up with kareena kapoor also but it turned out to be false, they took one hug of theirs and blew it out of proportion.
But your love story really had a sad ending, I mean when you do this much for a man and a relationship and still he did this too you, I mean what the hell did he want out of life anyways?, Its good your kicked him out of your life, he doesn’t deserve to have someone like you. I don’t know why people always expect a woman to lower herself to the ground get humiliated and compromise and all that. I totally don’t get along with my mom and can you believe my own mom is so jealous of me because I got to be raised in rich country, go to college and have a love marriage, and she hates me for because she couldn’t have all those things when she was young and she even ruined her younger sister’s life, and got her married to someone and their marriage lasted only 3 months, and completely ruined her life, and then she was like it wasn’t her fault it didn’t work out, and she’s always causing fire and trouble wherever she goes and my dad says nothing because he’s too weak to fight a mad woman she hates my dad and his whole family but yet she won’t get out of our lives because she wants a roof over head and continous flow of money, and if all that wasn’t enough she has secretly been in love with another man even before her marriage but for some reason her father never agreed to it so she has been buring in hell all these years. I always say stick up for yourself or hold your peace by venting out her anger on me and everyone she will not get anything back whenever we are around her side of the family she’s always being verbally abusive to show all of us down in front of her brothers and sister so it looks like we are all stupid and she so smart and knowledeable and they like her. I guess the reason why I’m telling you all this is that I just don’t get what some people want out of life like your ex-husband everything was going great so why did he have to ruin it??? Same goes for my mom if she decided to go for an arranged marriage she should have taken it as her destiny accepted and make it work. But NO!! For her making everyone else miserable and being the center of attention is so important that she ruined her entire family for it. OH well not my loss. I’ve got a great husband and in-laws waiting for me. So I decided to kick them to the curb and now they are burning in hell because my life is going smoothly. But let me tell you everyone has got a life story to tell and sounds like your’s is no exception, I guess only a few are blessed with true love. good luck.
