Just like Poo's only criteria for a Prom date was 'good looks, good looks and good looks', the only way one can be Poo is if they have self-confidence, self-confidence and some more self-confidence. She's fab and owning it, even after all these years. A screen icon who's still worshipped by her many fans and followers, here are the 10 times we really wanted to be Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
When she wore two different shoes and rocked it
We've all made our fashion faux pas and are not very proud of it. Poo nearly never got anything wrong but when she did, she turned it into a fashion statement. Anybody else would have been socially ostracized, but not Poo. She slayed it and how!
When she turned the tables on the male gaze
From rating men a four out of ten to a downright minus, she showed ‘em what it's like to be subjected to the misogynistic and degrading male gaze. And she wasn't apologetic about rating them only on their looks because, lets face it, what's 'inside' doesn’t get you free drinks at a bar.
When she went to prom with the hottest guy
She attended prom with Hrithik Roshan. Do we really need to discuss why we'd like to trade places with her?
When she let her true feelings be known
It's a tough job letting someone know that you like them. Poo, however, was not one to sit back and mope about the new guy in her life. She'd rather sing bhajans with her to-be beau and seductively let it be known that she loved laddoos.
When she showed the most popular guy the door
We've all been pursued by someone who thinks no end of themselves. And they're convinced that the more you turn them down, the more you love them. Next time an idiot like that asks us to a movie, we know what to say - "tell me how it was!"
When she looked into the mirror and liked what she saw
Too fat. Too skinny. Bushy eyebrows. Thin lips. Broad forehead . . . We're constantly picking ourselves apart. We so wish we could look into the mirror and proudly say: “tumhara koi haq nahi banta ki tum itni khoobsurat lago.”
When she gave it back to those religious fanatics
The next time we're at a religious gathering and someone gawks at us for being too fabulous for their tastes, we're going to remember that if they're too busy looking at us instead of the deity being worshipped, it's really not our problem.
When she took being turned down as a challenge
So what if Hrithik Roshan rated her a two and walked off? Did Poo sit and cry in humiliation? No, sir! She took it as a challenge and made it known that she would attend the prom only with him.
When behind all the shine, she still showed some soul
It's so easy to get lost in the glamour but Poo never sold her soul to the devil. Behind that shimmery red outfit was a heart of gold.
When she didn't let an embarrassing nickname bring her down
We all know somebody who's been ridiculed because of an unfortunate nickname. Poo literally means shit. However, Poo was anything but. She made sure that nobody would even dare make that comparison.
