Shah Rukh Khan’s obsession with ka ka Kiran/ Juhi Chawla in Darr is without doubt Bhaya Rasa. It is a love beyond logic or reason and borders on violence. The hero follows the heroine to her home, her college, even her honeymoon and will go to any extreme to draw her attention.
While Kabhi Kabhie remains Yash Chopra’s most fragrant love story, Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of Amit post Raakhee’s marriage to Shashi Kapoor is a manifestation of Vibhatsa Rasa. The romantic poet who sang kabhi kabhi mere dil mein is now a bitter man filled with remorse and regret. He is unenthusiastic and filled with contempt for his wife and her extended relatives. He is solely responsible for his choices but he plays the victim.
