Who Can Resist it when Fairytales Come True?
Our country also has a fixation with a girl marrying into riches. And, who has turned this brand of fairytale into reality? None other than Meghan Markle. And, she didn’t just marry any rich man. She married a prince – an obscenely rich royal who is in line for the British throne. *Let that sink in for a moment* And, let’s be honest here, we feed on this rich marrying the poor or the ordinary stories. There’s a reason Mill and Boons make so much money with novels based on the lines of Billionaire falling for a damsel-in-distress, business tycoon marrying the waitress, and so much more. Even movies on that theme cash a lot at Box Office. We all are just romantic like that, I guess. The fever caught all around the world, too. Not just in India, Meghan is also the most searched person in the US as well this year. What wedding gown she’ll wear, what’s her height, and how was she in her drama series suits – the whole world was drawn to the not-very-popular actress going royal. All the girls wait for her metaphorical prince, but Meghan met an actual prince in the 21st century! Fictions with such a good ending hardly come true, but when they do, people go ‘Google-crazy’ about them! And, nobody can blame them.
