Men have been harassing women on the streets since long before Bollywood was a thing. In any case if Bollywood encourages men not to be afraid of rejection then how can "Bollywood syndrome" be the name of a fear of rejection phobia? | |

Bollywood movies are a significant culprit in convincing men that being respectful to women is being shy, and encourages men to harass women on the streets and not be afraid of rejection. And when they face the certain rejection, they are disappointed and blame the woman for not helping them align reality with their Bollywood induced fantasy. And that is when the violence starts. | |
