Some time and a lazy weekend back a friend of mine was telling me about how he thought certain characters from Bollywood flicks would make such perfect girlfriends. As we got discussing this particular topic at hand in detail I was pretty surprised at the fact at how much commonality there was between such a dream list. This got me thinking as to how such a list would have been so ideal at all those instances where I have found myself at a loss of words when asked about my ‘type’. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if we just were able to say X in Y movie is my ideal girl because part of the allure of movies has always been the characters it throws at you. While you admire some of people on screen, cringe at a few others, you always somewhere down the line fall in love with some others and their quirks stay with you long after the movie is over. In a utopian world life would be so much easier if we could all pick out such a character for us.
P.S. for the record the list consisted of Sonali Bendre from Sarfarosh, Rani Mekherji from Saathiya and Preity Zinta fromDil Chahta Hai (bear in mind that we were discussing characters from Bollywood specifically) but if I were to guess Meg Ryan would feature prominently on a similar list for Hollywood. Do you have a similar list too?

This is a nice way to let ppl know abt what you looking for. If I were to a make such a list it would consist of, Aamir Khan in DCH and QSQT, Shah Rukh in DDLJ and Vivek Oberoi in Saathiya. As you can see I'm fond of the whole run away theme :)
Amritha Rao from that movie..i forget the name..Amisha patel from MP, KNPH, Preity from Dil Se,DCH Phew!
Demi moorer from..no..no..thats a different list ;)
Nice way of stating things.Novel.i see that you are utilising your job search time discussing these things with gollu, chillar et.al :)
Please, haan! I can't believe Preity Zinta (DCH) would be even be considered for such a list... I thought she was quite anal. Haan haan, reasons thay uske, but still. Quite anal.
But then again, I don't exactly need to look at her in the 'biwi ho toh aisee' light, isliye do ignore my comment, and move on.
-xoxo
would even be**
:) That's an interesting idea hmmm.. Mine would be Shahrukh from Veer-Zaara & KHNH, and Vivek Oberoi from Saathiya.
hrithik roshan from any movie.
=D
ok, ok and aamir khan frm DCH
saif ali khan frm Salaam Namaste (yes i FINALLY watched it..now i get all those 'egggjactly' jokes )
oh oh also hugh jackman from any film..MMmm hugh MMMMmm
ok, ok i'll stop fantasizing on your blog :P
for me it wud b Milind Soman from 'Rules Pyaar....'
n John Abraham from Jism :))
n luved Amitab's character in Silsila...
oh yaa the drool factor seems to b big in moi list :)
n in Hollywood, want someone like Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
it would be rahul bose from Mr and Mrs Iyer and SRK of DDLJ and swades for me....!! :-)
Ooh, definitely Rahul Bose from Mr. & Mrs. Iyer! Kya mast character tha...
I came here to write Rahul Bose from Mr n Mrs Iyer, looks like two ppl already took him. Damn! What the heck, I want him too..
Hey I want Rahul Bose in Mr and Mrs Iyer too..... and Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. And may be some others too.....
Hmmm... cant think of one now. Will come back and answer the question later :)
Just wondering, what's the music that plays on your blog
ok my list would have to be -- saif from hum tum
saif from salam namaste
srk from KKHH
srk from KHNH
and of course will have to agree with the majority here - rahul bose from Mr and Mrs Iyer
@ad Neat choice, I think some of those characters will make it to a lot of other ppl's list too
@totti The Amritha Rao movie was called Ishq Vishk I think, Amisha is not a surprising choice ;) but from MP ? why wud you want a constantly sobbing widow as a gf (you are bang on abt ur guess abt Chhillar)
@Mirchi Gosh you really seem to have something against PZ, u have gone all hammer and tongs at her
@Mary Why am I not surprsed to find SRK lording over that list ;)
@Mahima See u females pic Hrithik and Hugh Jackman from 'u dont care wht' movie and then accuse the guys of being superficial ;)
@Swathi John Ab from Jism? wat a crazy fool who doesnt mind bumping off ppl? Yes drool factor indeed dominates ur list it seems
@RT You really have made some very practical and sane picks with Rahul Bose and SRK from Swades
@shradha He does seem to be ridig high on the popularity charts by the looks of it
@M Rahul Bose would be quite impressed but I thought Johny Depp played out a gay pirate in the mentioned movie, U sure u still want him?
@Casablanca Oh cmon out with an answer we dont have all year ;)
@text and the city Hmm PZ is really getting it in here ;)
@Red Its a song called Roobaru from the soundtrack of Aamir's latest flick Rang De Basanti
@shruti Oh cmon soemone pick Javed jaaferi from Salaam Namaste , he was easily the best thing in that movie ;)
lol...oh yaa forget abt Javed Jaaferi ...put him on the top of my list :P ;)
Hahahaha! "Hammer and tongs" it seems...
Now you watch me use that phrase all year! Totally love it!
=D
And she IS anal in that movie.
=P
any pretty female from those black and white silent movies.
you know....chicks who can be just ogled at with their consent and u dont even have to listen to their girly tweedidy tweedidy twoop
...NOW THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
:)) I guess the question was who I'd pick and not who'd pick me. I just loved Depp in that movie.
Kajol from KKHH, Gayatri Joshi from Swades, Sharmila Tagore from Chupke Chupke (HoT!) and Amrita Rao from Ishq Vishq makes up my list.
Sad to see SRK dominate the list. For a moment I confused Mr.&Mrs.Iyer with English August....realized it after a double take. :)
hehehehe!
enjoyed reading all the comments...
my list comprises of specific scenes...
Kajol (Dilwalay dulhaniya...at airport when she invites him at her wedding and he says no and then the song begins..hope u can recall)
Vivek Obroi...in a few scenes of Dum
Preti...in Dil Se...(in a bath towel and on phone...while shahrukh is getting beaten up on the other side)
Manesha ...in dil se the song
Ashwariya...in Kajre re kajra re..tairay karaiy karaiy naina..:)
oye! when did i say guys are superficial?
and when did i NOT say that girls are superficial :P
Pamela Anderson from Baywatch :)))
@Zii Haha you sound like Aamir from DCH :)
@M Well said
@Anonymous Great choice I gotta admit, like all other bad things in life you gotta accept SRK's acting too ;)
@Koi Pahailee I totally know that scene from DDLJ that you are talking abt. Also the post was not just abt picking them on their looks, it was more abt which characters find a broad range of acceptibility and amiability amongst viewers such that they would make perfect gf/bf's
@mahima Oh cmon Mahi I thought that was a done deal amongst all the girls plus you gotta help me out here, I am trying to make a point u see :)
@Pointy I dont think an object of everyone's affection and ogle makes for an ideal gf :)
yeah i realize what your post was about...
got carried away i guess :)
hey,this sounds very interesting!...let me think,i would go for aamir of dil chahta hai or vivek of saathiya...mmmmm can't think of more at this point...but'll let you know soon. :-)
@Koi Pahailee :)
@Ashmi hopefully you can come up with some new and interesting names to add to that list
The list is quite short here. I'd go with Abhishek Bachchan... loved his Refugee look. Ok, I know a lot of people would wonder "Why?" but its the eyes... there's something about those eyes... sigh! And the personality. And tsk tsk... I've heard he has a great sense of humour. Anybody here who knows him? :)
@shivangi You goofed up there you gotta choose a character from any one of his movies which made u go 'See that would make a perfect bf for me' or something to that effect and not Abhishek bachhan the person :)
Aww... like that!then thats a tough one! Dont think anyone even comes close! :)
@shivangi Guess the world will never know wat it takes to get on Ms.Shivangi's good side :)
