Guess whose presence in Vidhu
Vinod Chopra’s life was acknowledged in his latest film ‘Lage
Raho Munnabhai’? None other than his wife Anupama Chopra.
A principal correspondent with
India Today, Anupama Chopra is married to Vidhu Vinod Chopra and
apart from her regular columns with the weekly, she has also
written numerous books on Bollywood, most notably being ‘Dilwale
Dulhania Le Jayenge’ and ‘Sholay: The Making of a Classic’. Her
affection for Shahrukh Khan, the star and the actor, is world
known while she could be considered as the greatest fan of ‘Sholay’.
This is the reason why in one of
the crucial scenes of LRM when Munnabhai is finding hard to gain
knowledge about Gandhiji, Circuit suggests him to interest term
himself as a Bollywood expert rather than a history professor
since for any queries there is always Anupama to lend support,
especially if they were about SRK or Sholay!
Subtle, yet coming across quite
well. That’s the power of this small scene, just like rest of
the film! |
