These Bollywood Characters Had The Best Post-Breakup Glow-Up

My go-to Bollywood films have unfailingly put the girls through gut-wrenching heartbreaks. Though that sounds disheartening, it’s this plot that seems to have led to their glow-up — both mentally and physically.

I even observed that the guys were never the reason behind their glow-ups. I think they just realised their worth. And their transformation? Stunning. Here’s what I’m talking about.

Geet from Jab We Met

Geet Kaur’s glow-up didn’t come immediately — it came after she realised that Anshuman had wronged her. The Sikhni’s glow-up didn’t even seem intentional. Kohl and mascara quickly replaced her tears.

Pink lip gloss and eyeshadow lent a soft, natural-looking glow to her face. Blush replaced her tear-stained cheeks. But Geet didn’t have revenge on her mind. She just realised that the guy wasn’t for her.

You can use the intensely pigmented Manish Malhotra 24H Kajal Eyeliner – Starry Night to line your waterline and lash line like Geet always does.

Naina from YJHD

I loved watching Bunny react to Naina’s glow-up for the first time. Naina, though still in love with him, had come to terms with the fact that they weren’t going to happen (at least not yet). The best part is that she didn’t even try to win him over with her glow-up.

A voluminous blow-out accompanied her kohl-rimmed eyes. She’d even done away with the glasses. She styled her hair differently every day of Aditi’s wedding. And it was all for herself.

For curls that remain intact, try the Arata Sea Salt Thickening Hair Spray to hold the style and thicken the hair at the same time.

Aditi from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

When Aditi was with Sushant, she felt controlled and uncomfortable. He even abused her. But Aditi’s glow-up came right at the end — years into her relationship with the right guy. She’d styled her hair into a chin-grazing bob with bangs. She looked stylish and chic; but so different from the Aditi we’d come to know.

Aditi and Sushant probably never met again — proving that her glow-up was hers and only hers to claim.

You will want to carry an anti-frizz serum like the Matrix Biolage Smooth Proof Deep Smoothing Professional 6-in-1 Hair Serum for Frizzy Hair to maintain the sleekness of this style.

Shanaya from Student Of The Year

Shanaya, as a teenager, tried hard to please Rohan, and she did it by attempting to look a certain way. But he wasn’t meant for her, and so, that never paid off. Her glow-up was more of a step back from poppy, bold lip colours and perfectly-styled hair. As the years progressed, her approach to beauty matured. She aced the no-makeup-makeup look and how.

You can use the Simply Nam Ultimate Timeless Lip Gloss to play into the softness of Shanaya’s look.
