“I hope you know that you deserve it all. The best, the most honest, the most beautiful and purest love in the world. Not only to be loved by others, but to be loved by yourself. To look in the mirror and think "yes, I'm exactly who I want to be". To speak up and be proud of yourself. To be brave and open. You deserve the nicest and most caring people to walk into your life. You deserve it all, you know. The whole world. And you should never forget.” edits @randomscribbler

Eugene de Beauharnais: Devdas character, Paro (comparison in character portraiture)
Y’all, I was supposed to use Napoleon II. I don’t know how Eugène ended up here.
Here is a perfect presentation of the Viceroy of Italy, posing as one of Bollywood’s most adored character, Paro in Devdas.
The work put into incorporating Napoleonic Empire style mens court attire into Devdas’ fancy costumes establishes an interesting concept once the reason is explained. Although, you may not quite expect Eugene de Beauharnais to fit into a sari, he has certain adornments, that help the viewer detail out the distinguished features indicating the Indian movie references.
The idea shown here is the story of Paro is that she is holding her diya, an Indian oil lamp with the light claiming her connection through her love for Devdas, her childhood friend. In Eugene’s life, his destiny had some ups and downs, throughout the his little-known childhood, French Revolution, the introduction of his new step-father Napoleon, and the rise and fall of his empire, through how it affected others. He remains hopeful throughout his life. To connect my perspective, he has brought me to combine these two explained individual’s lives into an effective image. While Paro chooses to keep Devdas to her heart, the flame, Eugene holds his candlelight to express his inner hope, being that same positioned flame. This becomes a more plausible idea for a powerful art piece.
