Sibil : I have never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it…..

I saw this article and immediately thought, "Great, they're finally doing an article on one of the most comprehensive cultural vessels of our time (note that Bollywood films are seen in Southeast Asia, parts of Africa, the Middle East, and of course, amongst expatriate/NRI populations in the US, UK, and Canada)." But the article glosses over the Partition's effects in other parts of India (i.e., Bengal - even though that isn't relevant to the Veer-Zaara story), and most importantly, doesn't delve into why us desis are so darn emotional. Just my two cents.

Is it just me, or does Preity Zinta look like an Indian cabbage patch doll?

Thanks for the catch. Should be fixed now.

Isn’t it “Suketu Mehta?”
