The letter Jodhaa sent to her brother in Aishwarya Rai-Hrithik Roshan starrer ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.
The surprise, joy and excitement that come from receiving a handwritten letter are unfathomable. However, it may be argued that letter writing is now merely a forgotten skill. Today, people use WhatsApp, iMessage, Facetime and other social media platforms to convey their feelings or wishes. But a handwritten letter can convey a lot of stuff which technology cannot. The effort in choosing the kind of paper, to the colour of ink of the pen, the design on the envelope and the stamp used to post it, creates a heartwarming feeling for both the sender and receiver. Recognising the same, a Twitter user, Pragyan Mohanty, shared a thread of several hand-written letters that have appeared in Bollywood films.
The first letter in the Twitter thread is from the movie, ‘Hum Tum Aur Woh’ (1971). “Too bad it’s about Helen dumping Ashok Kumar for being poor and even taking away her photograph from him,” the user wrote along with a picture of the letter. The other letters featured are from the movie, ‘Prem Patra’ and ‘Blackmail.’
