Beth Loves Bollywood loves BBC Asian Network Love Bollywood!
My new best friends!
Pablo has the beard; Raj is in red.
Now if only I could get them to come to Chicago for something.... Here's a link to our segment. On our way out, the lovely Asian Network staff graciously let us hang around in the lobby to see the arrival of Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, and Nikhil Advani for their 11 o'clock interview.
(If you squint, you can see Akshay in the plaid scarf and Deepika with the big bag and tan boots. I didn't dare go any closer. And Filmi Girl didn't even swoon!)
In other news, clearly someone had heard we were coming and postered the Tube accordingly.
On Sunday, we met some other wonderful Bolly fans (including Antarra and Celi) for a trip to Southall.
I loved how much this mannequin looked like 70s Sharmila!
Can't wait to see this!
I managed to keep my DVD shopping to a minimum - including a copy of Dharam Veer. When I found it in the big "3 for £10" bin, I held it up triumphantly and yelled out "I win!"

Comments
:-) Going to listen to you now!
Shweta - Do it! The show is fantastic all the time - my favorite parts are Raj and Pablo talking about what they've seen and the latest gossip, as well as the reports from their correspondent in Mumbai about the recent releases.
Memsaab - Heee! That was my thought.
PPCC - Much was done, it is true. Love Bollywood (formerly Film Cafe, when I started listening to it back in the day) is always a good time - despite its confusing British English use of plural verb for what I always feel strongly is a singular noun.
Deepika's back doesnt look very star-ry. Did you get to see her face?
And Southall still has 70s mannequinns? I knew my London sight-seeing was incomplete!
Where's the Dalek picture?

I didn't see her face, no - she had the requisite big sunglasses on. You know, for all that blinding sunlight in January in London indoors.
Kalyan - Thanks! :) It was tons of fun.
Banno - Absolutely! We saw another little poster with other Bolly folks on it, but it was on the escalator so by the time I figured out it was Bolly, it was out of view and I couldn't go back. I'm wondering if the Zee awards or similar are in London soon....
Temple - Hee! I find the pillowcase weird but really interesting - and maybe even a foreshadowing of the ending? Ooooh. Deep. :)
Joyce - :) Dalek is here: http://flickr.com/photos/bethwatkins/3194895289/in/photostream/
All the best!
