Mumbai, April 28 – Bollywood audiences have always been fascinated by love triangle stories, where the arrival of a third person complicates the emotional dynamics between two individuals. Such narratives repeatedly find their way onto the big screen, often achieving significant box office success.
Recently, the film "Mere Husband Ki Biwi," released in February this year, revived this beloved theme. Starring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh, the film presents a classic love triangle. In the story, Arjun’s character falls in love with Rakul after divorcing his first wife, Bhumi. However, the plot twists when Bhumi's character loses her memory and forgets about the divorce, leaving Arjun caught between two women — a conflict that forms the crux of the film’s drama.
Another notable love triangle film is "Bajirao Mastani," where Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Priyanka Chopra brought alive the emotional turmoil of Maratha Peshwa Bajirao, who falls in love with Mastani while already married to Kashibai. The film beautifully depicted themes of love, sacrifice, and struggle.
Karan Johar’s "Student of the Year" also explored a similar plotline, where best friends Abhimanyu and Rohan both fall for Shanaya, leading to a rift in their friendship. Similarly, "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" portrayed the confusion between friendship and love, where Anjali secretly loves Rahul, but Rahul falls for Tina.
The film "Cocktail" further showcased this emotional entanglement, where Saif Ali Khan’s character is initially in a relationship with Veronica (played by Deepika Padukone) but gradually develops feelings for her friend Meera (played by Diana Penty).
These stories of emotional conflict and complex relationships continue to captivate audiences, affirming the timeless appeal of love triangles in Bollywood cinema.
