jobless

It amuses me how female leads in hindi movies almost never have boring desk jobs. If they have jobs at all, that is.

They always have some quirky or fun occupation like school teacher or artist. Something that involves meeting new people or dealing with kids.

So that you can see how lively, fresh-faced, compassionate and fun-loving she is.

Of course!

The hero, however, may well be an investment banker or entrepreneur. So that he has tons of money to lavish on her when they finally meet and fall in love. But he has also sort of lost himself in being a workaholic or some such.

So she rescues him from his bleak life. He learns to smile again, loosen up, enjoy himself, live again… stand atop a mountain and scream “I’m aliiiive!!.”

And she can then proceed to comfortably settle into the life of luxury that his years of toil and being a workaholic have yielded.

Ah. Perfection.
