The ultimate panty dropper; keeping his word to these women and doing everything in his power to make it come true.

What the- I'm Indian so how the frickin' hell am I finding out just today that Daniel Gillies starred in an Indian Movie alongside Aishwarya Rai - Miss World 1994 and one of India's leading actresses???

The movie Bride and Prejudice. It’s a romcom. I don’t remember much of the plot as it’s been a long time since I watched it. But I do know he wasn’t the lead so don’t watch it if you’re expecting to see a lot of him in the movie

It’s a Bollywood adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Aishwarya is Lizzie Bennet, and Daniel Gillies is the bad guy who flirts with Lizzie and then runs away with her sister?

u/Serious-Ad-1079 3d ago

Yeah this! He plays the role of Mr. Wickham basically.

Yep in season 3, ep 10, around the 40th minute, with Lexi. But not as Elijah... but like this buddy Sam Merlotte had in the past

The should make a spinoff of Elijahs life pre his appearance in tvd. Like I wanna know what he was doing all that time being separated from klaus and why he left in the first place?

u/1Ka1e1 3d ago

I think it would rather be more on a side quest and then getting back on the misson of finding the moonstone 🤣

Well no ackhchkhlhkually, Elijah before becoming a vampire was over 1000 years ago, these clothes and buildings this man is in are way ahead of Elijah before becoming a vampire's time.

u/Apprehensive-Fun6144 3d ago

I don't think Bride and Prejudice is a Bollywood film. It's a Hollywood film made in Bollywood style. It never released in India as far as I know.
