Does Dhadak remind you of your own love story?

Every love story is different. Not all of them end 'happily ever after'.

Have you seen the trailer of the film Dhadak? Inspired by the Marathi film Sairat, Dhadak tells the story of two youngsters, Madhukar and Parthavi, played by Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor.

While Parthavi is affluent, Madhukar belongs to a middle-class family. Despite their financial differences, love blooms between the two.

In Sairat, when the girl's (played by Rinku Rajguru) parents find out, they come after the boy (Akash Thosar) and his family. Even their close friends aren't spared.

After much resistance and struggle, the two elope and start a new life. 

Do they cope, survive or give in? Do their parents accept them? You'll have to watch the film on Friday, July 20, to find out.

Each love story travels a different path. Their love story is fictional and has an unexpected ending. Your love story, despite all the problems you have faced, has followed a different path. 

Dear readers, do parts of the film remind you of your own love story? 

How did you meet your partner and fall in love?

Did you face resistance from your family members?

What were their concerns? How did you resolve them?

Did you elope and marry or did you wait to seek your parents' approval?

Tell us all about it. Share your love story and tell us what you learned from it.

What advice do you have for couples who face resistance from their families?
