Answers to Quiz 1
1) e. Rajesh Khanna is never believable as a poor villager, but I have definitely
seen street performers with shitty instruments. The actual music in the movie
was by Bhappi Lahiri, remember???
2) e. Wake up. You aren't Rajesh Khanna, your girlfriend is not Shabana Azmi.
Wake up from that nightmare.
3) e, and not c, as you might think. Even though portraying a Bong is tough,
no one, I repeat, no one deserves to be in love with Asha Parekh. There's
a reason her husband died in the first place.
4) c. Maushimi Chatterjee wins in a close contest with Aishwarya Rai. Rajesh
Khanna's toothbrush was missing a few bristles during the movie shoot.
