When she realises that the declaration of her feelings might stop Bunny from pursuing his dreams, she lets it go. As Bunny points out, it is Naina's courage that made her stand out. This is the same girl who hesitated to go to a party and decided to study instead. When Naina realizes that she has fallen in love with Bunny ( Ranbir Kapoor) she decides to take a step forward and let him know.
While some may argue that she is a typical Hindi film heroine, who falls in love with the wrong guy, it is also important to notice the way she deals with her emotions.
Padukone's Naina is a carefully written character. However, YJHD does not fit into this trend, since it gifts us with some brilliant characters who have more than one facet to their character.
It is even worse, when it come s to women.Īs already mentioned, Bollywood clearly lacks layered characters, especially when it comes to women and particularly in masala movies. Rahul from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is not too different from Raj in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Most of Shah Rukh Khan's characters which have stood the litmus test of how iconic they can be are similar in nature. It is the same when we talk of iconic roles played by the three Khans. The definition of iconic was a trend of a certain kind of character and not the character themselves. Consider the case of some of Amitabh Bachchan's iconic characters – Vijay, Jay and the various repetitions of the same name. However, very few characters written for Hindi cinema have individuality. Indian cinema has been defined by its melodrama and grandeur through the history of cinema. When we think of Bollywood, we think of romance, drama, great locations, good looking men and women running around our screens and most essentially, entertainment. Deepika Padukone has achieved a lot in a career spanning over 15 years, but she has given back the same to an industry which can rarely boast of iconic characters.
