Over the years, Bollywood has given us numerous kinds of love stories and has added numerous twists to them. Love triangles, being one of them, have always fascinated our filmmakers,and have shown us different shades of love.
The fun part of such movies are the eventual questions – Who gets the guy/ girl in the end and who will be left alone to feel sorry for. So, now that we are talking about it, have a look at some such movies, where the guy either from the beginning or eventually chose the simple, aagyakari and shy girl over the hotshot, out-of-his-league, party girl.
