Bollywood is known for its passionate romantic affairs. No, this is not about the stars of the film industry. Here, we are referring to the hook-ups between Bollywood and destinations. It started with Raj Kapoor and Switzerland in Sangam. Years later, Yash Chopra carried on the legacy showing us young romance in the stunning Swiss landscapes making it our preferred choice for a honeymoon. While Rakesh Roshan took us to New Zealand for Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Nikhil Advani gave us a tour of New York in Kal Ho Na Ho. Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana was shot completely in Miami while Don 2 explored Berlin in Germany. But the one destinations which has slowly been taking the Bollywood silver screen by storm is Turkey.

Abhishek Bachchan's Guru had several scenes in Istanbul including the song Mayya Mayya. Ek Tha Tiger also takes us through some scenic Turkey locales.
