But, in an Indian TV or film if a woman says to a man and says they shall be cordial or friends after a break up then it’s wrong. The Man most commonly says that he didn’t think of her in this way. A hero is glorified when he does not move on after a breakup and a woman is targeted if she is the first one to move on.
