Love triangles in films, TV shows and OTT series often generate a lot of interest. It adds a twist to the plot, taking it to an altogether new direction. Be it a thriller or comedy or a regular drama, love triangles never fail to add an element of surprise. Here’s what celebrities feel about these on-screen love triangles.

Ignites curiosity
Somy Ali

Anything that is taboo or out of the ordinary generates curiosity. That is just natural. When we are presented with a love triangle in cinema, it ignites our curiosity as to who the subject will end up with and how the one rejected will react. Movies like Mujhse Dosti Karogi or even Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna are stories of beautiful love triangles. All subjects in these films were in a severely emotional paradox.

Building up tension

Such narratives build tension among the audience and they can’t wait to find what happens at the end. Also, as they say films are a mirror to our society, it happens in real. In a way, love triangles give writers and directors enough scope to weave an interesting tale and generate attention and hype. That helps them serve what the audience wants.

Full tadka

Love triangles have been there since forever. We grew up watching such films and totally love them. As a child my favourite film was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, so you know what I mean. A love triangle connects deeply with audiences’ emotions. Love, romance, thrill and tears all come in the same story. It’s like a full tadka. My debut movie Main Teri Tu Mera is, in fact, a love quadrangle. I enjoyed being a part of this story filled with many twists.

Close to reality
Sneh Binny

Well, I think the reason why audiences love the concept of love triangles is probably because it’s a reality. A boy falling head over heels for a girl, who in reality likes another boy, is quite a common thing. I’m not fond of love stories personally, but I know that many enjoy watching them on screen just to find out who finally gets the boy or the girl.

Intriguing complexities
Chandni Soni

Love triangles have been an integral plot of many movies. Audience has always been intrigued by the complexities of love triangles. I love such stories. Kabhi Kabhi and Silsila top the list of my favourite movies when it comes to love triangles.

Spice it up
Sagar Parekh

Be it a family drama, science fiction or love triangles, stories need to have that spice that makes it interesting. Many of us have experienced love triangles in real life, which is why it becomes easier for us to relate with the same on screen. As a viewer, I am more into science fiction, horrors and thrillers. I really don’t enjoy watching love triangles.
