Twilight and Paheli

Two different civilizations but almost the same theme of story.Its as simple as that, but these two films show that how in our society women look out for some substituent if they don't come up with what did they expect to happen in life.Difference is also there as the character Bella Swan wasn't expecting for someone like Edward Cullen to come in her life but lachchi did expect her husband to be as a sign of pleasant change in her suffocative live resulting from conservative enivironment of our society.And both the characters whether its Edward Cullen the Vampire or Prem the Ghost, they both are represented as angels by their story-tellers who turn their girls lives into an oblivion of bliss and happiness.Crucial thing to note is that for a man to become a perfect partner for their women in stories they even have to turn into something other than man :) but for girls to be perfect for men they just have to become someone their men want them to be which is a mundane approach in our daily lives not something consequenting from fantasy stories like Paheli and Twilight.
