Being the largest film industry in the world, Bollywood has definitely played a major role in defining the ideas of love, romance, hatred, marriage and friendship for us. Every one wants a friendship as lasting and true as Rahul and Anjali, and a love as pure as Veer and Zara. But apart from forming these ideas, Bollywood is also responsible for one other thing. Somewhere between defining love and romance, it has equated romance with stalking.

From the time of boarding the train till their return to London, Raj’s antics to irritate Simran were nothing short of stalking and harassment. Raanjhanaa, which is classified as a timeless romance, is an entire film that shows a man pursuing a woman since teen years. 

There’s a thin line between stalking and romance, which Bollywood clearly doesn’t seem to understand. To even think that 4-year-olds sing and dance to these songs at weddings is alarming to say the least. 

Here are 12 Bollywood songs that actually encourage stalking: 

1. Jadoo Teri Nazar (Darr)

You wouldn’t be surprised to see this song here since the entire movie is about Shahrukh stalking and harassing Juhi as an obsessed psycho lover. 

2. Tera Peecha Na Main (Jugnu)

Dharmendra has openly told Hema Malini that he will keep stalking her unless she accepts his proposal. “Tera pichha na main chhodunga soniye.” Umm…stalker alert!

3. Saat Samundar Paar (Vishwatma)

Now this is where the girl stalks the guy, which just goes on to prove that men aren’t the only ones who can be creepy at times. Feeling bad for the guy though, because that’s a really poor way to woo someone.

4. Chal Pyaar Karegi (Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai)

You’re finally marrying the girl you love, and yet the stalker tendencies haven’t gone away, Salman! “Arre tu haan kar ya naa kar,” as if the girl’s wishes don’t matter.
