From Obligation to Obsession: How My Sister’s Bollywood Movies Captivated My Heart

Introduction 🇮🇳

When I was just a young, innocent lad, my sister and I had to share a single television. As a passionate gamer, I would often lose myself in the world of video games on my trusty PS2. But, there were moments when I had to sacrifice my gaming time and hand over the remote control to my sister, so she could watch her beloved Bollywood movies.

At first, I was hesitant and bored, sitting there watching these seemingly endless movies. But as time went on, I got drawn into the captivating storylines, the heartfelt performances, and the mesmerizing music and dance sequences. I was hooked, and before I knew it, I had become a die-hard fan of Bollywood movies.

What I love most about these movies is their ability to evoke such powerful emotions in me. They have everything – drama, romance, comedy – all blended together in a beautiful and unique way that speaks to the heart.
