Actually, I drove by his house in Mumbai, as well as one of Shah Rukh Khan's (chi-chi).

It didn't go as I planned; I was supposed to see Aamir Khan, giggle, and then run through a field.

You can have a crush on Aamir Khan...

i usually get either, 'wow, you're memon? i know memons! aren't you all like rolling in money and really cool people and stuff?''

or

'hmm memon? what's memon? i think i've heard of them. but i'm really not sure what they are. i tried asking a few people and they all told me different things'

or a combination of both

or 'uh, you're what?'

OK, the expectation that people (religious Pathans, no less) in Peshawar in the 1940s would have TVs is not surprising coming from Timbit. But that's a tad extreme for you. So I will point and laugh

*points and laughs*

Also, actors don't generally start out as mega stars. He starting using the screen name when he was just getting into the industry. His family didn't find out what was going on until after he started getting famous, and one of his relatives who came to Bombay saw a movie poster with his face on it

and sort of offtopic but now im just wondering how many people had tv in the 40s in the subcontinent anyway.

[Timbit]

40s? I didn't think you were that old, Sixpak Chacha.
I was thinking 70s or so.
