Quote:On a promotional tour for his new film '3 Idiots', Aamir entered the bash disguised as a documentary filmmaker, complete with a goatee, a curly mop and a fake gold tooth. But the disguise did not work that well and as soon as the bride's father Jasveer Singh saw him, he knew it was Aamir.



"We recognised him immediately. And everyone went crazy after that, including Aamir. He stayed with us for around two hours and participated in all the ceremonies," he says. As the whole village descended on the bride's house to see Aamir, the filmstar remained unflustered and completely uninhibited. He and his team sang and danced, and then ate with the guests.



"Everyone was overwhelmed by his humility. He was very cordial and did not behave like a star at all. It was amazing to have him with us," adds Jasveer.



When told that the groom, Gurjeet Singh, might feel left out, Aamir talked to him over the phone and invited him and Ramandeep to the premier of the movie. "Though I could not meet him, he wished me luck. But I think Raman was luckier," laughs Gurjeet, a farmer and a resident of Sherpur Kalan village.



Gurjeet and Ramandeep got married on Sunday, but the Aamir frenzy persisted.



They now plan to have two photo albums, one with the wedding pictures, and another capturing moments of the ladies sangeet and jaago night where Aamir made an appearance.

Quote:Plot

The film begins with the child, Rizwan Khan (Tanay Chheda), a Muslim who has Asperger syndrome, growing up with his mother (Zarina Wahab) in the Borivali section of Mumbai.[8][9] Later as an adult (Shahrukh Khan), Rizwan moves to San Francisco and lives with his brother and sister-in-law. While there, he falls in love with Mandira (Kajol). They eventually marry and begin a business.



After the events of 9/11, Rizwan and Mandira begin to face a number of difficulties. Following a tragedy, they separate. In order to win her back, Rizwan embarks on a long journey across the United States.[6]



In another early interview, he also stated that, "it’s not about a disabled man’s fight against disability. It’s a disabled man’s fight against the disability that exists in the world — terrorism, hatred, fighting ... My Name is Khan is also about Islam and the way the world looks at Islam but we are not taking any sides. We are only trying to say that there are only good people and bad people. There are no good Hindus, bad Hindus, good Christians, bad Christians. Either you are a good person or a bad person. Religion is not the criterion, humanity is."[9]



In late 2008, journalist Madhureeta Mukherjee (referring to the post - 2008 Mumbai attacks atmosphere in India) suggested in an interview with Karan Johar that, "My Name Is Khan starts at a time when Hindus and Muslims in India have united like never before." In response, Johar stated: "I think it’s an exceptionally relevant time, as the unity of our nation is of paramount importance, and I am very happy to witness such a movement in front of my eyes. We are all coming together to fight for a common cause – called humanity. Everyone knows that terrorism has no religion and it will never have a religion. As a filmmaker, I believe that I have a social responsibility and I promise to fulfill that."[12]

Quote:Did you face any religious dilemma while you were married to a Hindu lady Reena Dutta and later on to Kiran Rao?



No, none whatsoever. We never practiced each other's religion neither did we force each other to do so. But, of course, I had made it very clear that my kids will always follow only Islamic religion.

IRAQ NOTEBOOK: Witches, Bollywood at grad party REBECCA SANTANA, Associated Press Updated 09:01 a.m., Tuesday, May 24, 2011



BAGHDAD (AP) - Harry Potter-inspired witches in flowing black satin gowns and pointed hats shimmied onstage as young warlocks in black-and-red capes looked on. Nearby, Indian-themed music blared from a boom box at a Baghdad version of a Bollywood movie set.



Fun and frivolity aren't the first things that come to mind when someone mentions Baghdad. But this is college graduation season and time for a tradition that has survived the upheaval of war, kidnappings and bombs: masquerade parties.



Students here like to party just like young people anywhere who've spent the last four or five years with their noses buried in a book.



And they like a good masquerade.



"We based our costumes on the movies we see. We started thinking of our outfits at the beginning of the year," said 23-year-old Shahad Rafaie, dressed as a witch with glitter sprinkled across her face and a black headscarf covering her hair and neck.



"We are exhausted after studying for five years!"



The overthrow of Saddam Hussein unleashed an outpouring of religious extremism from both Sunnis and Shiites that often left Iraqis wondering what was acceptable conduct and fearful of outward displays of celebration.



Liquor stores and restaurants serving alcohol were bombed. Women feared going out in the street without a headscarf if they went out at all. Plays, musicals and art exhibits were almost nonexistent.



But through it all Iraqi university students held onto one of the educational system's lesser known traditions: the end-of-the-year costume bash. Like the class photo, prom and final exams, the parties have become a Baghdad tradition over the past 10 years.



At a celebration Saturday at Baghdad University's College of Pharmacy, the party resembled a Baghdad-based Bollywood movie set, with female students dressed in brightly colored Indian-themed saris with gold embroidery and bangles on their wrists.



Nearby young men in burgundy-colored Sherwani jackets, yellow satin trousers and red turbans on their heads shimmied to the sound of Indian music with lyrics in Arabic.



Across the lawn, a coven of Harry Potter-inspired witches celebrated in matching costumes - the women in black satin dresses with collars and sleeves trimmed in red, pointy black hats and wooden canes substituting for broomsticks. The men wore black-and-red capes over red satin vests as fellow students danced and took photos.



Layla Tariq Mohammed said the graduates hired a tailor weeks ago to make the costumes.



One young man said they had tossed around the idea of dressing up as Mexican cowboys complete with sombreros and ponchos, or as U.S. Navy sailors, but the girls didn't go for the knee-length skirts.



There was not a drop of alcohol in sight, and instead of taking place under cover of darkness where furtive kisses or hand-holding might go unnoticed, the party was held at midmorning and on university grounds. Many family members sat on the sides watching.



"It's a very beautiful thing. It is fun. They want to express their joy," said Wafaq Jawad, 56, who came to watch her niece.



Still, it was surprisingly liberal: Many women did not wear the headscarves often worn by religious conservatives on Baghdad's streets and many of the students danced.



The parties aren't so popular with the administration, however. One student said the college dean banned their band from coming on campus and it took a series of negotiations before he permitted them to bring in a boom box.



"I don't think all the colleges like it, but they also can't do anything about it," said Haydar Ajib, a 25-year-old graduate.



The dean, who was at the party and mingled with the students, said a band wasn't appropriate for a university setting and he had offered to help the students find a club to hold their party if they insisted on a band.



Dr. Alaa A. Abdulrasool alluded to the social and religious norms the school must navigate when deciding what is appropriate and what is not. The students can celebrate and dress up but they must also be aware of the society in which they live, and the fact that it might not be as liberal as they are, he said.



He also pointed out that students from all over Iraq study at the college, including many who are more conservative than those dancing to the Bollywood tunes and it was important to make sure all felt included in the celebrations.



"In the last few years, they thought that freedom meant they could do anything they wanted," he said.

Quote: To the last commentator, the reclaimed liberated land we call Pakistan today were the reverts and from South Asian stock but we the vast majority, Kashmiris, Baloch, Pakthun, Sindhi and Punjabi are the inheritors of IVC and we denounced Hinduism as an alien foreign primitive concept . We found liberation and soul revival in Islam and it is and will forever be our cherished religion. The IVC were not Hindu, neither did they ride horses like your Mahabharata stories, they ate beef not like your Dhal Hors, they were ethnically different to the Dravids primitive pygmies that ran around semi clad in the primitive backwater jungles along the Ganges. The IVC never spoke Sanskrit let alone wrote it, they wrote via pictogrqms like the other great civilisations of that era, mesopotamia and The Nile civilisation. I know it is hard for you to grasp but we are completely different to you, we find your language, your culture, religion and history not pleasing and we are a different ethnicity, geography and history to you. Just because you have the sons of Abdali, Ghauri, Nadir Shah, Zaman Shah and Aurangzaib as your bollywood heart throbs it does not mean you and I are the same. Look around you, most Indians do not look like the Khans or the Kapoors who hail from the land of beauty and beautiful people -Pekhawar. The Indian girls at my University were struck by how different we Pakistanis boys looked to Indian boys and realised we truly are different ethnicities and yes we were the more attractive because we look like the very people you Indians place on pedestol in Bollywood.

Quote:the very people you Indians place on pedestol in Bollywood.

Quote:Bollywood and the Southern film industry examples are often quoted by these Love Jihadis to impress upon the non-Muslim girls. The film stars are the role models of many of India’s young, especially girls. Many of them foolishly enter the make-believe romantic world, in a way copying their dream stars. A short and random assessment of the level of cross marriages in filmdom will explain the surrogate support they extend to this activity.



The current list of Bollywood stars are all dominated by Muslims. Every Khan in the industry is being exploited, unknowingly of course, [color="#800080"](not really)[/color] in this game of Love Jihad. Saif Ali Khan married Amrita Singh and after two children has divorced her and is now casting his spell upon Kareena Kapoor. Aamir Khan married his childhood sweetheart Reena Dutta in 1986 and abandoned her and his two children and married Kiran Rao in 2005. Shahrukh Khan is married to Gauri Chibber, a Hindu, Sohail Khan is married to Seema Sachdev, Arbaaz Khan married actress Malaika Arora, Fardeen Khan is married to Natasha Madhwani, Emran Hashmi is married to Parveen Shahani. The current heart-throb of Bollywood Salman Khan has his run of the non-Muslim heroines, picking and choosing one after the other. He even had a torrid affair with Aishwarya Rai .



Interestingly enough, only two Muslim actresses figure in present-day Bollywood, Katrina Kaif and Soha Ali Khan (both are of mixed blood). The days of Mumtaz, Saira Banu, Wahida Rehman, Nargis, Jeenat Aman, Parveen Babi are over. “D” Company, which has big stakes in the Indian film industry has religiously restricted the entrance of Muslim girls to Bollywood. It has ensured that the casting couch has Hindu actresses for free run for the Khans, Muslim financers, producers, directors and actors.

Quote:Being a British citizen, she works in India on an employment visa.[1]

[...]

Kaif was born to an Indian Kashmiri father,[9][10][11][12] Mohammed Kaif, and an English mother, Susanna Turcotte,[13] both of whom are British citizens. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Kaif once stated, "My dad, unfortunately, and not out of choice, has had no influence on our upbringing, on our religious or social or moral bearings."[14]

Quote:To answer your question completely:



1) None of the Khans are practising muslims: Aamir Khan had been living with his 2nd wife Kiran Roy for 2 years but when a reporter for Urdu daily enquired how can a muslim do that and will Kiran Roy convert to Islam.. at that Aamir Khan got angry.. [color="#800080"](Except IF members posted how his declared aim was to make all his kids muslim, so that he could pretend to his kafir wives that he was secularly accepting of their unconverted status. Stealth Jihad)[/color] All Khans (Saif Included) are non-practising muslims.. all celebrate diwali, holi, do pujas but sometimes "forget" Eid due to "work".



2) None of the Khans are 100% Pathans.



3) None of the Khans are taller than 5'6- If they stand together they'll look like balding buddha school kids.



4) All Khans drink, eat pork.. have their sisters married to Hindus and converted to Hinduism



Add to it Feroze Khan who insulted Pakistan and Islam on his recent visit to Lahore..



Shame on these Khans <smiley>
