Bollywood directors are masters at introducing us to strong, independent female leads and then turning them into just another love interest. 

Tinni from TJMM

Tinni, at first glance, seems independent and fierce. By the end of the movie, she becomes this joint family-loving girl, ready to give up her idea of “life” for love.

Jazz from Namaste London

Jazz didn’t want to marry a full-on desi boy as she was raised in London. But by the end of the movie, she does exactly that and movies to a village in Punjab.

Naina from YJHD

Naina was a doctor, but throughout the movie, we have never seen her in a hospital or stressed about how hard MBBS is. We saw her crying over only Bunny. 

Akira from JTHJ

Akira wanted to be a war journalist. She was bold, independent and fierce until she met Samar Anand. After that she only cared about Samar’s tragic love story and not her career. 

Tara from Tamasha

Tara was a successful businesswoman, then re-enters Ved into her life, and all the purpose that Tara was left with is to fix Ved. 

Aisha from  Ek Villain

Aisha was so full of life that maybe she could have made us fall in love with life. But unfortunately, she had to die so that Guru could have a dramatic transformation.
