Remember Anjali from <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hain<\/em>. Rahul friendzones Anjali, who is a tomboy. But when Anjali changes into a hot beauty later in the movie, Rahul falls for her. Anjali gets lucky in KKHH thanks to a Bollywood script, but in reality, once you are friendzoned, you can kiss your chances of being anything better than a friend a goodbye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/50592\/heartsickness-lover-s-grief-lovesickness-coupe-50592.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=750&amp;w=1260\" alt=\"Woman Sitting on Bench Outdoors\" width=\"544\" height=\"360\"\/><figcaption>from pexels.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the situation is even worse for boys. At least girls can transform into a gorgeous, sexy lady to woo her male friend and make him fall for her. But for boys, the door closes as soon as they are told, \u201cI treat you as my good friend\u201d by the girl whom he is madly in love with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in some cases, the girl may even say, \u201cI think of you as my big brother\u201d to kill all your chance of a romantic alliance with your love interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much the boy transforms himself, via looks, fame or money, once the girl eyes you as just a friend, it\u2019s near to impossible to change her mind. And if the girl is dating someone else, then you might have to take a rebirth to win her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, not all is lost if the boy or the girl who has been friendzoned is persistent. Sooner or later, the person will fall for your goodness and like you more than a friend. Remember Sanju from<em> Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar<\/em>. Sanju had friendzoned his childhood friend Anjali. But Sanju has a change of heart in the end when Anjali helps him compete in a cycle race in a school competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And see the irony, it\u2019s always the girls who have been friendzoned get their love back. Have you ever heard anytime that a friendzoned boy has got his girl or a Bollywood film where the girl finally breaks the friendzoned stigma given by her to her male friend and accepts him as a lover?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <em>Jaane Tu&#8230; Ya Jaane Na,<\/em> two friends of opposite gender unite in a romantic relationship only after the boy breaks security at airport to propose to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Friendzone couldn\u2019t be more unfair to the boys, agree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>P.S: The author was \u2018friendzoned\u2019 too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>If you think it\u2019s only boys who get friendzoned, you are wrong.
