‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ might be a possible love story on screen but in real life, it seems far from it. After watching the film in the theatres, a lot of people seemed to think that in real life, a ‘Rani’ (ambitious, socially aware, politically inclined and intellectual) will never choose to be a ‘Rocky’ (loud, flamboyant, touchy, and dunce).
What will they talk about?
What do they have in common?
How will they ever create a bridge between their differences?
These are some of the questions one might ask about the possibility of a ‘Rocky’ and a ‘Rani’ having a relationship or getting married.
However, there are a couple of Rockys in the world who have fallen in love with Ranis. Here’s an example:
Meet Rocky and Rupali, a couple almost identical to Rocky and Rani, who fell in love, got married, and have been together for 37 years!
Rocky is Punjabi and Rupali is Bengali. He is a ‘jhappi pappi’ boy while Rupali is an intellectual who comes from a family of architects. Hence, they too had a basket of differences, but it worked out anyway!
37 years ago … Rocky aur Rupali ki Prem

It’s truly heartening to see two people keeping aside their differences and uniting for the sake of love!
