Fifteen years ago, Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Love Aaj Kal’ graced the silver screen, leaving an indelible mark on movie-goers. Central to the film’s success and popularity was Deepika Padukone’s portrayal of Meera Pandit, a character who was ahead of her time and stays relevant, while inspiring to women even today.
In an era when female characters in Bollywood were often portrayed as damsels in distress or mere subject of male desire, Meera Pandit stood out. She was not just another love interest; she was a career-driven woman with a solid foundation. Meera’s decision to prioritize her career over her relationship resonated with many women who faced similar dilemmas.
Meera’s profession as a fresco artist was as unique as it was unconventional. Her career choice was not just a plot point but a reflection of her individuality. It showcased a woman who was dedicated to her craft and willing to make sacrifices to pursue her dreams.
‘Love Aaj Kal’ depicted a time where love was on speed-dial, and relationships were evolving with technology. Meera’s approach to life and love was refreshing. She was a woman who dealt with the complexities of modern relationships with grace and practicality, something that Deepika brought to life in her own charming way. She defied societal norms and expectations, proving that women could be both emotional and practical.
What makes Meera enduringly relevant is her relatability. She was not a perfect character; she had her flaws and made mistakes, but she learned and grew from them. Deepika Padukone’s portrayal of Meera Pandit in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ left a legacy of empowerment. She paved the way for more nuanced and strong female characters in Bollywood.
Deepika’s Meera resonated with audiences, making her a beloved character even after 15 years. Her story was a reminder that it’s okay to prioritize oneself and one’s ambitions, and that love and career are not mutually exclusive.
