Dear Zindagi, Please Ban Relatives Who Can’t See Me Happily Single

Five things every single girl in India is sick of hearing - SRK-Alia’s Dear Zindagi nailed them just right.

Thank you for the life advice that I didn’t ask for. (Photo: The Quint)

“Beta, mithai kab khila rahe ho?”
“I know a relative’s relative in London, he is just perfect for you!”
“Jab main tumhari umar ki thi, mere do bacche the.”
“You should get married now, it’s very difficult to have kids after 30.”
“Office ka kaam toh theek hai, shaadi karni hai toh ghar ka kaam seekho!”

These are some of the things every Indian single girl is sick of hearing. Dear Zindagi reminds us of all those annoying relatives who are obsessed with just one thing, to get you (one distant relative of theirs) married and you’re politely trying to dodge these “shaadi kab karr rahe ho, beta?” type questions.

Here are five dialogues from the film that will remind you of every Pummy aunty ever.

Success formula- 20 tak padhai, 25 tak shaadi and 30 tak bachhe. (Photo: The Quint)

Unfortunately not! BTW, the Lebanese are sure to take offence at this. (Photo: The Quint)

Settle for someone you mean? (Photo: The Quint)

What does that even mean? (Photo: The Quint)

Cinematographer? Is that even a job? Ladka kaise milega? (Photo: The Quint)

PS: Do us a favour and don’t bring up these awkward shaadi questions again. Give your and our Dear Zindagi a break.
