Happy Birthday Imran Khan

The puppy-eyed actor of Bollywood turns 32 today! Known for his eclectic choice of coming-of-age roles, Imran has emerged as one of the self-made actors in Bollywood. Imran is one of those few actors who started his acting career at a very young age.

Since 2008, Imran has worked in 15 films with interesting on-screen appearances and his character as Jay Dhingra in ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ was much appreciated where he was seen as the casanova who detests the idea of love and yet can’t stop himself from falling in love with his co-star in the movie, Simran (Sonam Kapoor).

Once again in ‘Ek Main Aur Ek Tu’ and ‘Gori tere Pyaar Mein’, Imran is seen in challenging roles as Rahul kapoor and Sriram Venkat with a flair that only he could have. This actor with the lover-boy image is known to play the charming ladies’ man in romantic movies and in time, has proved that he deserves being listed as the top actors of his age.

Nominated several times for Screen and Stardust awards, Imran believes in modesty and hardwork and has worked his way through to the fame charts. Here’s from the Dharma team – a very happy birthday to Imran Khan! We wish abundance of success and health to the “I hate chalta hai attitude” star.

5 Reasons why opposites attract

Since decades we have nonchalantly believed in the concept of ‘Opposites attract’. And why shouldn't we, haven’t we all at least once been drawn to someone who is so different from us?

So what causes this inexplicable love between two people who are polar opposites? May be the exciting differences between the opposites leads to the attraction and subsequently a natural thirst for completion.

Here are 5 reasons that explain why opposites attract.

1. Coming out of the comfort Zone
Initially being with someone who has the same likes and dislikes may seem an easy thing to do but someone who pushes you out of your comfort zone is bound keep you interested. Remember the straight-laced architect Rahul Kapoor and the free-spirited hairdresser Riana Braganza from ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’?

2. Different personalities
Relationships should be fun. In ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ we see Nikhil Bhardwaj (Sidharth Malhotra) a struggling businessman, fall in love with the quirky Dr. Meeta Solanki (Parineeti Chopra).

3. Curiosity: 

Sometimes it’s simply because we want to know how “the other half” lives. In ‘I Hate Luv Storys’, we witness the phenomenon of ‘opposites attract’ again when Jay Dhingra (Imran Khan) falls for Simran Kaur (Sonam Kapoor) despite their obvious differences. One hates bollywood love stories and the other swears by it, but the initial clashes slowly turn into a friendship which later leads to lasting romance.

4. They complement each other: 

A partner who is different from us can complement the person that we are. In other words, their differences enhance us and our lives. If you are shy, having an outgoing partner can compensate for that and even make social occasions easier for you. How else would not Meeta not only manage to come back to her sister’s wedding but also enjoy it!

5. New Experiences: 

Their different hobbies, interests and attitudes can expose us to a variety of new experiences. This can enhance our lives by taking us out of familiar territory, and also show us how to see things differently. We’ve seen this happening with all the Dharma couples mentioned above & that’s what makes their story interesting.

So if you find yourself falling for someone completely opposite to you don’t be perplexed, just follow your heart & it may turn out to be the best relationship you've had till date!

So do you luv your Luv Story?

It’s funny how one can fall in love with the most unexpected person in the most unexpected way. When someone loves you, they don't have to say it; you can tell by the way they treat you. One should never look for love but let love find him or her.
It was a crazy sight when Jay, who hated Luv stories, and a diehard romantic like Simran fell in love with each other.

Here are top 7 reasons why boys find it hard to survive in a relationship!

1. It gets intense when guys have to choose between sports shoes and casuals.
2. Girlfriends get dramatic about almost everything, even the color of the guy’s tie.
3. It takes an effort to remember dates: Birthdays, anniversaries, milestones etc.
4. No time for friends.
5. Life is surrounded by red roses & heart shaped balloons. eww…eww…
6. Require to take permission for literally everything. “Baby can I go over to my friend’s house to watch a game of football?”
7. You compulsorily have to share your passwords with your girlfriend. Why God...why??

Even though boyfriends go through a lot of adjustments, girls too have their equal share. What is most important in any relationship is to be happy with the person we are with.

Here’s celebrating the 4th Anniversary of Jay and Simran’s cute and funny story - ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ :)
