10 Stages Of Break-up Depicted Through Bollywood Songs

When your ex says, “you’ll never find anyone like me” just smile and reply, “that’s the point!” 😛

There’s no point dragging a dead relationship and crying yourself to sleep every night while your roommate enjoys the latest season of Narcos. You deserve to watch it too.

But break-ups are tough, and usually, there’s a lot of drama, rona dhona, 2 AM talks, messages (to be regretted later) and songs! Yes, it’s that phase of life when each song you listen seems so freaking relatable that you play it on repeat until, either you get bored or your roommate threatens to unfriend you.

So sit back and enjoy a bumpy ride of break-up phases depicted through Bollywood songs:

Phase 1 – Denial.
Song – Silsila Yeh Chaahat Ka, Na Maine Bujhne Diya (Devdas)

That’s right. Ouright denial. Silsila ye chahat ka na maine bujhne diya…oh piya. Until your friend reminds you that, “Behen, bujh gaya”

 

Phase 2 – Trying to win him/her back
Song – Re Kabira Maan Jaa, Re Faqeera Yun Na Jaa (Ye Jawani Hai Deewani)

Yeah, right. That’s the master plan: win him/her back. ‘Re Kabira maan jaa’ doesn’t sound so cheesy when you text her, but it surely does when the whole plan backfires and you get a reply, “Surely, I’ve recognised you. You’re an idiot.” :O

 

Phase 3 – Anger
Song – To Lut Gaye Hum Teri Mohabbat Mein (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam)

When the grand plan of winning him/her back fails royally, anger becomes your best friend. With no way to vent out your frustration, you simply unfriend your ex’s friends on Facebook. Brilliant, you are, after all. 😛

 

Phase 4 – Sadness
Song – Tumko Jo Pyaar Kiya Maine To Saza Mein Paayi Tanhaai… (Dil Chahta Hai)

Now that you’ve done what you could have possibly done. (unfriend their friends on social media and hate their parents & pets), suddenly reality dawns upon you. Mein aur meri tanhai..aksar baat karte hai. Bro, you okay?

 

Phase 5 – Seeking Pity.
Song – Sun Raha Hai Naa Tu, Ro Raha Hun Main (Aashiqui 2)

Why is no one taking pity for my situation? Can’t they see that I’m sad and all?! So your evil (and confused) brain starts seeking pity. Full on sad romantic songs on full volume.

 

Phase 6 – Rebound relationship.
Song – Ramji Ki Chaal Dekho… (Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela)

“Nita supported me while I was sad, she must be the right life partner for me.”
Don’t listen to your inner voice.
Don’t. Don’t Don’t. Damn it.

 

Phase 7 – Regret
Song – Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana, Dil Na Kisise Lagana (RHTDM)

When it dawns upon you that Nita actually loves Mukesh and not you, regret knocks on your door.
I told you so. (*says a faint voice inside your head*)

 

Phase 8 – Acceptance
Song – Mere Saiyyan Ji Se Aaj, Maine Breakup Kar Liya (Ae Dil Hai Mushkil)

By the time you reach this phase, your brain starts releasing hormones called, “Bhai, admit it.” And you finally admit the truth that he/she’s gone forever. (for good maybe?) 😀

 

Phase 9 – Finding yourself
Song – Tere Liye Nayi Hai Zameen Naya Aasmaan, Likh De Hawaaon Mein Koi Nayi Dastaan (Wake Up Sid)

This is the best phase.
*Rocky training music plays in the background*
*You’re drinking beverage with a label, “Shiv Khera Positivity Drink” along with a biscuit named “Robin Sharma Inspiration Digestive Biscuit”*

 

Phase 10 – Back to being awesome again.
Song – Bachna Ae Haseeno, Lo Main Aa Gaya (Bachna Ae Haseeno)

Back again with full throttle, full-on swag. Life moves on and you decide to let go. That’s the whole point of the game.

 

Come to think of it, bad break-ups are pretty much like pimples. It seems impossible to get rid of them. But you want them to go away so, so bad.
