Remember that scene in Mukul Anand's "Hum" where Amitabh Bachchan and family pretend to be high-society folks and show up at Kader "General" Khan's place. Eventually, Kader Khan 'discovers' that Amitabh isn't the real deal when he sees a hole at the bottom of his shoe. Much abuse and disgrace ensues, followed by a song and dance, but that's besides the point.
Now I don't know about you, but wasn't it presumptuous to assume that AB was low-society because of a hole-in-his-shoe? I mean, it could have just been a bad shoe? Even then, Amitabh (urf Tiger) and clan lived in a rather upscale house in the hills - what was he doing with a torn shoe, anyway? How is it possible to believe that three alike looking kid brothers from the same dad (?) will grow up to be Amitabh, Govinda and ... Rajnikant? Some savaals that Bollywood films will never be able to give answers to.

Darling, if you begin to quos-chun everything you see in Hindi movies, you will quite certainly lose your mind.
For example, I caught Mr. India on Zee TV the other day and it occurred to me: Whatever happened to the REAL Miss Hawa Hawaii?!?
This is a question on par with why the Spotty Man from Outer Space was flying around on the night that an ordinary teddy bear was tossed into an old dark storeroom.
So many questions, such few answers.
