Random question

You might think what a silly question. But as a romantic fiction writer, this is one question that always had me confused.

Maturity makes me believe it is always better to accept the one who loves us over the one whom we love. In Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, many say that Anjali made a mistake by not choosing Aman over Rahul. I felt so too.

But recently someone asked me would Anjali have loved Aman even if Rahul didn’t come back? She was so stiff, so unlike herself around him. Would she have felt chemistry when Aman kissed her? Would she have loved him at some point? What if it always remained a compromise on her part? Would it be fair to Aman too?

Last day in a discussion a friend said in love marriages you at least know there is desire & chemistry. While in arranged marriages maybe you will never even enjoy a beautiful kiss. Not always but there are many couple who deal with lacklustre sexual life, more so in arranged marriages.

Now go back to that question and tell me can you give a simple, straight answer to it? I’m curious to know your thoughts on it.
