How Shah Rukh Khan ruined a young fans' life

We all know how Hindi cinema and especially Shah Rukh Khan has set unexceptionally high standards of romance for most of us. The Baadshah of romance has had generations of women swooning over him, his films and the characters he has portrayed. But the set standards are too unrealistically high for anyone to fulfill in real life which is why we empathise with the recent post on popular Facebook page Humans Of Bombay. 

Titled 'Shah Rukh Khan ruined my life' it narrates the story of a young girl who grew up on a staple diet of SRK movies and how she always wanted her boyfriend to propose to her in a filmy manner. When she realised that no such marriage proposal was coming from her boyfriend, the girl decided to take things under her control and ask her boyfriend to marry her instead. 

Here's the cute post.

“Shah Rukh Khan ruined my life! Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of having the ‘perfect proposal’ from the perfect man. Violins would start playing in the background, he would walk up to me slowly, while the wind blew in my hair, fall to his knees and hand me the ring. But that never happened. In fact, we found ourselves in the middle of this mess where I was trying to convince my Bengali parents to let me marry a Punjabi Baniya! We’d been dating for 3 years, but the majority of that time was spent on bringing our families together. At one point in our relationship, we were sure that we were going to get married --so he never even tried to ‘surprise’ me with a proposal. Amidst all this drama of a big, fat Indian wedding, I realised-- I never had my filmy moment! So, on his birthday, I decided to take the matter into my own hands. I planned a surprise party at the restaurant where we had our first date, and as soon as he walked in-- I asked the DJ to play “Marry Me” by Bruno Mars and fell to my knees when he walked in. I said ‘Ashish Aggrawal-- I want to spend the rest of my life laughing, crying and fighting with you-- will you marry me?’ He looked at me, smirked, pulled me in for a hug and whispered - ‘let’s hope our kids aren’t as filmy!’And just like that, I created the moment I’d been waiting for..why do women have to wait for the guy to propose? It’s a new day, new age-- if you like him, then maybe you should put a ring on it!”

The post has already got more than fifteen thousand likes and still counting. But it does drive home a valid point. That for young, modern women the rules of romance have changed and that women are now ready to take more control of their relationship. So ladies, take a cue from this post and take charge!
