As both Bollywood and society are advancing, the Hindi film industry is being used to spread awareness about the common issues and situations of the current world. Live-in relationships are one such concept that the new-age Bollywood has emphasised.
In a country like India where live-in relationships are frowned upon, Bollywood is here to cater to such a concept and make people aware of the commonality of the subject. These Bollywood films have given us a reflective portrayal of live-in relationships in India and the social constraints attached to them.
‘Ok Jaanu’
One of the most loved former couples of Bollywood, Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur came back together on-screen for this adorably romantic movie. This film explores the live-in relationships taking place in a big city like Mumbai where people are more open to the concept and there is a bare minimum judgement.
‘Salaam Namaste’
In an era when Bollywood was still not able to openly portray a conventional concept of love, ‘Salaam Namaste’ was released with a refreshing concept of live-in relationships. Two NRIs get a house together after lying about being married. They fall in love soon and what follows next brings a rollercoaster of emotions with it.
‘Luka Chuppi’
One of the most recent Bollywood movies to talk about the concept of a live-in relationship is ‘Luka Chuppi’. This film promotes the message of how living together before getting married is sometimes an important step on the ladder of any relationship. The movie is packed with an important social message with a hilarious turn of events.
