What If Alizeh Khan From Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Never Had Cancer? Imagining Her Unwritten Love Story With Ayan Sanger

Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor starrer Ae Dil Hai Mushkil released in 2016. The film has been one of the most popular movies among the youth as it broke the stereotypical definition of love that a man and woman can’t be ‘just friends’. It also showcased the different complexities of emotions that reciprocated love. Well, when the film was released, it not only touched the hearts of audiences but also questioned the differences between attraction, love and friendship between a man and a woman. The movie has a separate fanbase, who always wished a happy ending for the central characters- Alizeh Khan being cured of cancer and Ayan Sanger’s proposal being accepted by her.

In the movie, the most heartbreaking element was when Ayan Sanger learned about Alizeh’s fourth-stage cancer and she had a few days left. This was when the two again got close as Ayan was taking care of her. When he proposed to her, Alizeh again rejected and friend-zoned him. Many romantic movie lovers at that time were unhappy with the ending, as it showed heartbreak in a cruel way. What if we imagine a scenario in which Ayan spots his Alizeh in a happy situation, enjoying her life without being diagnosed with cancer? What if Alizeh began to feel the same way for Ayan?

Imagining Alizeh Without Cancer And Her Unwritten Love Story With Ayan

To all the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil lovers, let’s start imagining from the scene when Ayan learned that Alizeh had already left her husband two years ago. After Alizeh was found at her favourite place in London, imagine Ayan asking about her whereabouts. To calm him down, Alizeh then took Ayan to a cafe, where they discussed their lives when they were not in touch. Imagine, they gave their friendship a fresh start and relived every moment that they had always desired for themselves personally and professionally at a more mature level. In one hand, Ayan continued to shine in his singing career and on the other hand, Alizeh became an author. They remained in touch and enjoyed the fun nightclubs in the evening like before. One such evening, imagine Ayan proposed to her not just to be a life partner but also as a forever best friend, with a promise of never letting her go.

This time, Alizeh gave a new chance to her life, thinking that in a life partner, she was always seeking a friend and unbreakable trust, unlike what she had with her former husband, Ali Ahmed. She might have taken a significant time to come to the realisation that she always wanted a man like Ayan, who could give her the sense of emotional security that had always been lacking in her life. After much thought, she gave a nod to the new beginning in life.
