It does touch one’s heart when the simple, down-to-earth, but ebullient female lead of a latest hit Jab we met (When we met), proudly proclaims ‘’Haan, Mein Apni Faouvrite hoon! (Yes, I am my own faourite)’’
Played by Kareena Kapoor, the girl, symbolizing purity and simplicity, is a rare species today. The pressure to be smart is simply too much. Also rare is the ability to love oneself and be one’s own favourite.
Usually, we delude ourselves into believing that we are our own favourite even as we are only going on a self-destructive path. The movie conveys the simple message that the most important thing is to be one’s own favourite without spoiling other people’s happiness.
The lady does not seek to destroy other people’s life in order to be happy. She does not take sadistic pleasure in order to be her own favorite. In fact, her ‘favouritism for herself’ comes from laughing all the time, and attempting to give some good (even if not so welcome!) advice.
Her spontaneous honesty touches the heart, and that is the beauty of her portrayal which one so much loves to see in real life.
