8 red flag male characters from Bollywood films

Team OTTplay

Kabir of Kabir Singh

Beginning the list with one of the biggest red flag characters. This character played by Shahid Kapoor is highly toxic, abusive and misogynistic. This is not love! 

Ayan of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil 

No doubt, Ayan is entertaining but he is also like a male-child. He wants things to go his way every time. He cannot handle rejection in love which he calls as ‘ek tarfa pyaar ki taqat’

Rahul of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Shah Rukh Khan played the character Rahul Khanna in this blockbuster film. What didn’t go down well was how love for Rahul is all about the girl’s appearance, not feelings

Ranvijay of Animal 

Ranvijay Singh, played by Ranbir Kapoor, is the most recent red flag character in Bollywood. His version of manhood is toxic and a big turn-off. Simply a big no!

Badri of Badrinath Ki Dulhania 

Badrinath Bansal, played by Varun Dhawan, cannot handle rejection from Vaidehi. He keeps pursuing her to marry him and even plans her kidnapping when she has left for Singapore. Weird until love truly blossoms! 

Kundan of Raanjhanaa

Dhanush played the character of Kundan in the film. He is an obsessive lover boy who goes all out even with the threat of suicide because the girl loves someone else

Radhe of Tere Naam

The hairstyle of Radhe might have worked for the audience but certainly not his personality. He is a toxic narcissist who basically destroyed the idea of love. No means no!

Gautam of Cocktail 

Cocktail is a fun watch but what about Gautam’s character played by Saif Ali Khan? He keeping dating for love and fun, only in the end to settle for a sanskaari bahu
