Over the years, Bollywood has shown us love in a variety of hues. Some are adorable adolescent stories, while others are at an age when finding love is the last thing you anticipate.
We also caught a glimpse of the factor that frequently complicates things for lovers in a number of these situations: the long distance. Being connected by the love between two people can be one of the most difficult situations when there is physical distance.
However, a few Bollywood movies have perfectly caught the essence of long distance relationships, and they are featured below.
1. Meenakshi Sundareshwar

3. The Lunchbox

The distance between the potential lovers as well as money issues, however, may prevent romance from happening.
7. Shershaah
Shershaah tells the narrative of a valiant soldier named Vikram Batra as well as an innocent love romance.

They then decide to take a break from one another to determine their life’s and careers’ top priorities.
Because love can conquer all, even the distance.
