Carry a baby in one arm and cleaning the house with the other free hand was not easy.

Ever heard of a cage?

I happened to meet Hrithik in Vegas sometime last year – I believe he was down there for the shooting of his movie Kites. He was very accomodating with photographs and handshakes even at 4 in the morning. As we shook hands, I couldn’t help notice that he only had, well a regular thumb while I was expecting something from the pic above. So I think that’s an old ad, he has gotten rid of the lucky charm since then…

Mr. Roshan probably had an easier time compared to his other classmates when learning to add/subtract sums in kindergarten... I think having more than 5 digits on a hand or foot is considered a dominant trait - or is it a dominant gene(s)??? or just a fluke of nature?. Any genetics experts out there who can clarify?

After I gave birth to my daughter, I always wish I had an extra working arm to help me with my daily chores. Carry a baby in one arm and cleaning the house with the other free hand was not easy.

I'm sorry i can't reference the quote/interview, but i heard that he felt this double digit has given him good luck and therefore he didn't want to surgically remove it.

Good for him. I do agree however that if it was on a female bollywood star it may not have been as widely accepted probably.

All though this is anecdotal, I find that minor physical imperfections (like here) are ignored in Desh compared to the west which is burdened with the artificial sense of beauty fed by popular media and fashion. On the other hand, major disabilities are treated much more kindly and with consideration than in Desh.

That is a good point, Zee. Often people with these kinds of minor physical anomalies are given nicknames or even proper names which are accepted and absorbed as a part of one's persona, case in point being this famous jewelery shop in Lucknow. Dark skin may also cause the subject to be (nick) named Kalua, Kalia, Shyam, Krishna or Kali-mata (the last often being a derogatory reference). Discrimination may or not follow. I believe it is worse for women, and needs to be condemned. It is quite obvious that obsession with physical beauty is a part of Western culture, hence the market for cosmetic surgery, fad diets, anorexic teens and high incidence of body dysmorphic disorders.This may be partly due to western society having more time and money to fret over minor physical imperfections.

Yeah right. Minor physical imperfections are treated kindly but dark-skin --which is natural and dominant in India--isn't.I don't deny the accuracy of your point and I'm not trying to derail this thread but that statement was sorta hypocritical to me.
