Great questions as always! I know I am going to get half of them wrong, but what the heck – attempting itself was good fun. <br />1. Bhuvan Shome<br />2. Lawrence Wargrave = Main villain of Agatha Christie’s ‘And then there were none’ <br />This play was staged by his college in his final year and Amitabh was chosen to play this role. However, he caught measles some days before the performance. <br />3. MBA from London <br />4. Like Professor Sukumar Sinha, I too am an absolute ‘zero’ in Botany! So this ‘phool-patti’ wala question is too tough. Ek hint milega?<br />Kaash, this flower was a ‘gobi ka phool’, then the link would have been in Chupke Chupke itself!!<br />5. In each of these movies, Amitabh writes an award-winning book. <br />6. Raaj Kumar (with Dimple)<br />7. Manmohan Desai. (Can’t be Rekha, that’s too obvious! I was guessing Amar Singh as well (), but don’t think their friendship was that strong in the early 80s)<br />8. I have two guesses, please take your pick!!<br />Guess 1 – This previous gem is worth Rs 900,000, and the link to AB is the song from Sharaabi: ‘Mujhe Naulakha Manga de re’!<br />Guess 2 – This is a trademark gem belonging to Kalyan Jewellers and both AB and Aishwarya are brand ambassadors for Kalyan!! <br />[Bahut dimaag laga diya, Dada, grace marks chahiye!] <br />9. Before moving to Mumbai, Amitabh worked in ‘Bird & Co’ in Kolkata in the mid-60s. OMDC was one of the flagship companies of the Bird group. <br />10. From the Hindi dubbed version of Shivaji – The Boss, this character is AB Bachchan (it was MGR in Tamil). The slight blooper, of course, is in the name itself – AB Bachchan, rather than A. Bachchan!Straight Cutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10102622.post-32150076886721206622012-10-12T18:38:30.552+05:302012-10-12T18:38:30.552+05:301. Bhuvan Shome (as Amitabh).

All these are names of books penned by characters played by Amitabh Bachchan.<br />6. Sunil Gavaskar.<br />7. Shashi Kapoor, for the time he spent with Amitabh Bachchan in movies was apparently more than she got to spend with her husband.<br />8. The precious gem is called The Millennium Star. In July 1999 Amitabh Bachchan won the The Greatest Star of stage or screen of the Millennium in a BBC Poll. In 2000 he was elected the Filmfare Superstar of the Millennium.<br />9. Bird and Co., Amitabh Bachchan's first employer, had made a comeback to the Calcutta Stock Exchange through Orissa Minerals Development Company in 2009.<br />10. The character is Shivaji - The Boss. As we know, there is, and has been, only one boss.Abhishek Mukherjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492031639536656851noreply@blogger.com
