7 Life Lessons That The Films By Aanand L Rai Have Taught Us!

Aanand L Rai's films have left a deep impact on the audience over the last few years. His stories offer a fresh perspective from the mundane and focus on subjects which are totally relevant today.

On his birthday today, let's look at some life lessons his films have taught us:

1. Life is unexpected.

Sometimes, life may offer us something out of the ordinary, but we should always accept it with open arms. Tanu never thought she could fall in love with Manu, a doctor from the US, who by the looks of it, seemed boring. Yet, they were able to strike a chord and sparks flew, something which Tanu never expected. 

2.  Not everyone you love is meant to be yours.

We may fall in love with someone but that can sometimes also be one sided. Therefore, it is best to let go, otherwise one can end up suffering. 

3. Harming yourself is never the solution.

Many a times, we may find ourselves in situations which we are not capable to comprehend and do anything about it. But resorting to harming yourself is never the answer. One should never lose hope, because life also is a bed of roses. Hence harming yourself is never the answer.

4. You can fall in love with someone for the second time

People fall in and out of love all the time. Two people may  get apart with time. However, one should always work on his/her relationship, and you may never know, you can fall in love with the same person again!

5. Love transcends societal structures

Societal constructs like race, caste and religion does not matter if you are in love. Zoya, a muslim falls in love with Jasjeet, a Sikh. Love is a powerful emotion, capable of transcending societal constructs.

6. There is no age for learning.

Chanda Sahay, a mother of a class tenth student decides to go to school. Hence, there is no age to learn!

7. Everyone makes mistakes, to forgive someone requires courage.

Films teach us some important lessons along the way. We are grateful for these life lessons, thanks to Aanand L Rai's films.
