Yeh Shaadi Nahee Ho Sakti - 20 Bollywood Weddings That Weren't Meant to be

In Finding Fanny Angie's husband Gabo dies within 15 minutes of saying ‘I do' leaving her a widow and setting her up for a tryst with Savio down the line. What this also shows is that not all weddings in Bollywood go well, and weddings getting called off isn't exactly sacrilegious.

Here are some of Bollywood's most popular weddings that get broken at the last moment- for good or for bad.

Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin( 1991): Anupam Kher becomes immortal as the ‘Coolest Daddy'.

After learning that his daughter loves another young man, the ‘unbelievingly' understanding father, played by Anupam Kher, asks his daughter Pooja Bhatt to runaway right as they are walking towards the mandap. She obeys her father's wishes, and makes a dash for her love while the jubilant father and the stunned groom are left behind.

Aaina (1993): Amrita Singh (Does not) wed Jackie Shroff

The story reverses, and a broken wedding becomes the beginning of the story in Aaina. The spoilt brat, played by Amrita Singh, leaves her lover Jackie Shroff right before their wedding to become an actress. The heartbroken Jackie then marries her sister played by Juhi Chawla and tries to live happily ever after, i.e. until Amrita makes a vengeful comeback.

Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994): Mohnish Bahl and Madhuri Dixit's wedding in this movie was meant to be broken. Only a Sooraj Barjatya film can make pull off a plot where a woman should take place of her dead sister and become her brother-in-law's wife. (Dharmesh Darshan celebrated a decade of this stupid law with Bewafa in 2005).

But thanks to the intervention of tuffy the dog, inarguably the smartest of the lot, Mohnish decides to give up his pursuit of remarrying and gets Madhuri's character married to Salman. For him , it seems, it was all in the family.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayege (1995): He came, He saw, He took his Dulhania (who was supposed to marry someone else, though) Shah Rukh Khan's NRI character, Raj, comes to Punjab and befriends the unsuspecting Kuljit, played by Parmeet Sethi, to land up in the huge household that's preparing for Kuljit's marriage to Simran (Kajol).

Here, he deviously manipulates the whole family and tries to tramp his newfound friend's wedding with Simran, so that he can live happily ever after with her. He succeeds but not before breaking the Kuljit and his sister Preeti's (Mandira Bedi's most famous big screen outing) heart.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998): SRK beats Salman to be crowned chief of the bride thieves.

What happens when Shah Rukh and Salman battle for one girl? The girl goes to the star who is playing the lead, even if sense does not allow it. Salman was left so heartbroken, that he swore never to work with Kajol or Karan Johar, literally. But that's about to change with Shuddhi.

Omkara (2006): The movie begins with Langda Tyagi, played by Saif Ali Khan, attacking the wedding procession of his friend Rajju,played by Deepak Dobriyal, and abducting his bride Dolly. Rajju fails to stop this and his wailing bicycle ride towards the wedding location gives the film a very intriguing start.

Pyar Ke Side Effects (2006): The tale of the serial runaway bride

Who would have guessed that actors Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat will make for a successful onscreen pair. But their pairing worked. The film, which began with Mallika's character eloping from her wedding, ends with her running away from the wedding when it is set to happen a second time. The would-be groom who suffers? An unsuspecting love-struck DJ, played by Rahul.

Jab We Met (2007): When nice guy takes it all!

As the movie climaxes, Kareena Kapoor is seen engrossed in a grand lip-lock with former beau Shahid. The perfect culmination to Imtiaz Ali's amazing romantic comedy had Kareena break-up with her douchebag boyfriend who she was about to be, and eventually choosing the guy who was nice to her and was looking out for her all along.

Namaste London(2007): Desi anecdote to beat the videsi charm As Katrina Kaif runs away from the altar and her British prince charming to live happily ever after with her desi ex-husband Akshay Kumar, we believe that the best of foreign charms can be broken by desi tricks.

Singg is Kingg (2008) : Lightning strikes twice?

Namaste London all over again! Same actors, almost parallel story track and similar ending. We started wondering will nobody get ever manage to score Katrina apart from Akshay. After this, we were scared whether Akshay will pop up in all of Katrina's movies just to steal her away in climax! Thankfully that didn't happen.

3 Idiots (2009): Aamir Khan proves he can steal a girl even without being at the wedding!

When you have friends like Aamir did in this movie, eloping with a girl on her wedding day can be managed even if you aren't even present to carry out the task. That is what Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan pulled off in the name of being BFFs. Funnily enough all this happens in the movie with Aamir's character Rancho not having a clue about the imminent wedding of his lady love Kareena Kapoor, while he happily spends time in Leh.

Ready (2011): Runaway brides Salman ke peeche, Salman runaway brides ke peeche.

The film had far too many weddings crashed and runaway brides (and even grooms) to be true, ranging from Asin to Zarine Khan who were all connected to Salman's over- the-top character someway or other.

Khiladi 786 (2012) : Universe tries to strike back, Akshay knocks it in the face

So fed up was the film fraternity with Akshay stealing brides that script-writers decided to get his bride-to-be, Asin, kidnapped in the film. But Akshay being the ‘Khiladi' he is, not just beat the kidnapper and got the girl but did it like a Boss.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (2013): A bride asks the groom to run away

Yes! That happened and it was Shraddha Kapoor's Vasudha who did it. The young actress' character asks her groom, played by Imran Khan, to run away from the marriage after she understands his love for Kareena Kapoor's character. Unfortunately for Imran and Kareena the audience was just not convinced about this relationship as much as their own characters or Vasudha were.

Shuddh Desi Romance (2013): A cocktail of ruined weddings

This film is irony-objectified on celluloid. The film is all about weddings and is set in a world full of shaadis, baaraatis and all the hoopla surrounding marriages. But all we see are crashed weddings. Be it the one between Parineeti and Sushant's character or the one between him and Vani Kapoor's character or even the climax. This film has more ruined weddings than song sequences.

R Rajkumar (2013): A wedding party turns into a battleground Sonu Sood's character has conquered all his opponents and has joined hands with international drug lords. His victory is complete and opponent Romeo Rajkumar is dead.

He drinks, dances and sashays with dancers preparing for his impending marriage to Sonakshi Sinha. Barenaked dancers, cheap liquor and cheaper songs fill the scene until Romeo returns from the dead. Do we even need to narrate the climax?

Chennai Express(2013) : Shah Rukh crashes Deepika's wedding with no intentions of marrying her Deepika Padukone's character, Meena, is being married off to Thankabali (Nikitan Dheer) as part of an understanding between her father and him. Enters Shah Rukh character, Rahul - yes yet again, and takes Deepika hostage and escapes with her. Just one problem: While the whole world thinks they are eloping to get married, they are not. Rahul is trying to escape from the clutches of law, while Deepika just does not want to marry ‘Thanku'. A hilarious wedding crashing experience then inevitably leads to them falling in love and living happily ever after.

Hasee Toh Phasee (2014): The guy runs away from his bride-to-be, to be with his sister-in-law to be.

Life's unfair and no other film will affirm it better than Hasee Toh Phasee. Parineeti's character runs away to China amidst the wedding celebration of one of her sisters only to return and spoil the wedding of her other sister. She gets the money she wanted, she gets the guy she wanted (her sister's fiancé) and she gets to be back with her family. Sadly no one gives a squat to the sister's feelings. As for Sidharth Malhotra's character- life doesn't change much. He was being bossed around by one woman who he dumps to replace her with his equally bossy sister. Happily ever after.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014): The aam aadmi'sDilwale moment

It's Dilwale Dulhani Le Jayenge updated for young Indians two decades later. Actors Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt break Siddharth Shukla's heart. So much for his big screen debut.

Queen (2014): A heartbreak is not the end. It is the beginning

There is a reason this film stands as the grand winner of this series. The movie begins with a broken marriage and dashed hopes. It also shows the desperation of a wannabe bride, trying to pick up the pieces and get away from her sorrows. But as the story progresses, we see how much good the ruined marriage has done for her and how finally it has set her free from her insecurities. This film is a lesson in looking out for silver linings and self love.
