Hey All, Namaste (Hello in Hindi )
I was just curious to know, since we have people from all over the globe on this platform, how many of you know about bollywood ( I am sure everyone does ) and who is your favorite actor, actress or may be a movie that is your favorite ??
Please name them and you can ask me anything about bollywood if you are curious to know :)
Shoot your answers and I will wait for any questions :)

I know of Bollywood, that India produces more movies than any other country and recognize a few Bollywood star names. I have never seen an Indian movie. I have seen the incredible Aishwarya Rai-Bachan in her English language movies.

Oh thats great John and yes Bollywood makes more movies than any other country and the good part is that other actors are also coming in English Language movies. Like in the latest jurassic park movie Irfaan Khan played the owner of Jurassic Park and Priyanka Chopra playing in the TV Series Quantico. Even Anil Kapoor played in 24 :)

My all time favourite is Amitabh Bachchan. The angry young man. Fighting the system.

I adore Aamir Khan and my favourite films are Lagaan and Mangal Pandey. Which is a bit weird as both are anti British films and I'm British.
