When you think of lavish sets, a huge culturally-rich parivaar with handsome couples, you’re definitely imagining a Rajshri movie. For decades, the Rajshri family has upheld our values and given us sweet, innocent romance.
Well, along with these, the makers have given us beautiful heroines too! From Suman in Maine Pyaar Kiya to Maithili in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, every Rajshri heroine is unique, yet bound by a thread of similarity.
We tell you five ways how you can identity a Rajshri girl…read on:
They prefer the shade yellow:
Yes! We are not kidding at all. From Bhagyashree’s iconic yellow sari in Dil Deewana to Madhuri Dixit’s elegant yellow salwar Patiala suit in ‘Maye Ni Maye’ from Hum Aapke Hain Koun to Sonam Kapoor’s rich lehenga in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, every Rajshri heroine prefers the sunny shade. Well, the reason behind it is simple. It’s the favourite colour of director Sooraj Barjatya. True to his name, he likes the blazing and cheerful shade and makes his heroines wear them aplenty in the movies.
Coy, but with a mind of their own:
Even though the women are coy and demure, they have a mind of their own. They don’t let the men rule over them, but do not go against their families either. The perfect mix of modern and traditional is what makes them desirable. Even though Nisha (Madhuri from HAHK) was ready to sacrifice her love for Prem (Salman, who else!) for the sake of her family, she was a gum-chewing, roller-skates-loving young girl who loved to live her life on her own terms. Similarly, the bashful Dr Preeti aka Sonali Bendre from Hum Saath Saath Hain put her family before everything. Despite her foreign education, she was desi in her outlook.
They play an important part:
Unlike other movies, Rajshri heroines are not mere eye-candies. They are the ones who take the story forward. Sometimes, their arc brings the twist in the tale too! If Pooja (Renuka Shahane of HAHAK) had not died, HAHK wouldn’t be the movie that we all cherish so much. Moreover, If Poonam aka Amrita Rao of Vivah had not jumped in the fire to save her cousin, the movie would have lost its sheen. Don’t you guys think so? In Prem Ratan too, Maithili (Sonam Kapoor), a princess whose affection Prem seeks, takes the story ahead.
Graceful dancers:
Nothing sets Rajshri heroines apart than their graceful dancing skills. From Madhuri’s Didi Tera Devar to Sonam’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo…the actresses know how to play the thumka routine well. They are the epitome of elegance that’s often mixed with naughty movements and playful steps. In simple terms, the heroines are complete entertainers!
Girls-Next-Door:
With their charm and wit, they are the girls we want to know and be friends with. They can balance work, family and complex relationships like pros. They are not high-maintenance divas, but girls-next-doors who give us hope. We are sure that we could become like them too…
Here’s raising a toast to the simple, yet sassy girls of Rajshri who make our movie time so special!
