From Young Rekha’s First Ban to the Scandalous Smooch with Amitabh Bachchan!

Ah, Bollywood and its eternal tryst with pyaar! Whether it’s stolen glances or epic love sagas, Bollywood has given us everything. As we flutter away on the wings of Valentine’s season, our filmi duniya is dishing out entertainment like a halwai during Diwali. From the young lovebirds with their Loveyapa to the retro vibes of re-releases like Sanam Teri Kasam and Jab We Met, there’s a smorgasbord for all! And for those with serious faces, Thandel awaits, while Himesh Reshammiya fans can enjoy Badass Ravi Kumar. Romance, yeh hai Bollywood ka asli masala!

Dil Aur Cinema: The Perfect Jodi

Bollywood without romance is like a samosa without aloo. Whether it’s the sweet, innocent Ishq Wala Love or the iconic Pyaar Dosti Hai from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Bollywood has shown every shade of love. Remember the steamy Lust Stories or the vengeful romance in Karz? Haan bhai, Bollywood ne sab kuch kiya hai!

Pehla Pyaar, Pehla Kiss!

Throwback to 1933, when Devika Rani and Himanshu Rai locked lips in Karma. The film tanked, but the kiss stirred quite the hungama. Myth or not, they say it was the longest liplock, though author Kishwar Desai debunks this in her book. But hey, controversy toh banta hai!

Anjana Safar’s Ghoomti Duniya

Fast forward to post-independence, and the censor board was playing moral police. Rekha, a mere 13-year-old, found her kiss in Anjana Safar snipped out, but it still made a magazine cover! Talk about being a trendsetter!

Bobby Se Breakthrough!

Flowers replaced kisses until Raj Kapoor, ever the rule-breaker, had Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia smooching in Bobby. Romance was back with a bang, and the bold era was ushered in!

Black Ka Kala Tikka

Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji’s peck in Black was a controversial one! A teacher-student kiss, yeh toh kuch zyada hi ho gaya! Sanjay Leela Bhansali must’ve had a tough time defending that one!

Kiss Ka Record!

And if you thought Bollywood was done with surprises, think again! A 1936 film, Shoke Dilruba, featured a whopping 150 kisses! Talk about setting records! 🥳

Kiran’s Gyan:

Bollywood romance is like a rollercoaster ride—full of twists, turns, and that occasional jhatka that leaves you wondering, "Arrey, yeh kya tha?" But in the end, it’s all about the pyaar, dosti, aur thoda sa drama! 😜
