This Single's Day Here's A look At The Bollywood Characters That Celebrate Singlehood

Every year on November 11, Singles' Day has special significance since the number 11/11 stands for "four ones," or "four singles," united. Literally, the name means "single-stick holiday."

At some point in their lives, everyone has been single! And nowadays, self-love is a big deal, and if you're unhappy on your own, you can't be happy in a relationship either. Bollywood has a lot of movies about companionship, and television programmes have taught and modelled how to fall in love for a very long time in a various ways. Even though we swoon over romance, there are times when it deviates too far from the truth. Regardless of their relationship status, there are some characters who can serve as idols for those who are embracing their individuality and navigating singlehood.

Here's A look At The Bollywood Characters That Celebrate Singlehood:

Alia Bhatt in Dear Zindagi

The cinematographer played by Alia Bhatt, Kaira, experiences a difficult breakup, which is followed by some setbacks in her career. As a result, she relocates to her parents' home in Goa from Mumbai. The woman, who has never gotten along with her family, is driven into a depressive phase where she seeks out Shah Rukh Khan's character, psychologist Jug. In the 2016 film, Kaira sees how she eventually achieves success through her journey to finding happiness in life and becoming psychologically stronger. Even though she initially feels romantically attracted to Jug, she continues on in life with a stronger resolve to find happiness despite the psychologist's explanation that this is not a possibility. The protagonist enjoys life and being single in this way.

Kangana Ranaut in Queen

Rani, who was portrayed by Kangana Ranaut in the 2014 movie Queen, was a very strong character. After Vijay, played by Rajkummar Rao, returns from abroad and finds his longtime fiancée Rani embarrassing due to her ill-mannered ways, the Delhi boy rejects her one day before their wedding. When the couple's parents learn the news, they are shocked, but what shocks them even more is Rani's choice to go to Paris for her honeymoon. With the addition of new friends of various nationalities, Rani's trip takes an adventurous turn, and the overall transformation in her personality brought on by all the experiences is incredibly empowering. Any single girl will be motivated by it to maintain her status and live life according to her own preferences.

Deepika Padukone in Piku

Piku Banerjee, played by Deepika Padukone in the 2015 comedy drama, is another illustration of a strong woman who is completely capable of handling herself. The working generation of today, with its many responsibilities and frustrations, can relate very well to Piku, on the other hand. The addition of her irritable elderly father aggravates the exhausted single woman who sees developing a romantic attachment to someone as an additional responsibility. Here, Piku demonstrates how sometimes a friend—like Jisshu Sengupta's Syed or Irrfan Khan's Rana—is more important than a lover or a partner.

Vidya Balan in Shankuntala Devi

In the same-named film, Vidya Balan plays math genius Shakuntala Devi, who travels the world alone without a companion to keep pace with her. Anu, her daughter, is a sufficient companion for her. Devi's divorce status and the fact that she has superhuman math skills are irrelevant to her on the international stage. She breaks record after record without ever letting the stigma of divorce get in the way.
