QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms – 273

A slightly tricky one.

finger

Can you tell my why the first family of Indian cinema is making what seems like a very rude gesture to the fans?

Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

PS: Within a few hours, I’ll be on my way to Nagpur to conduct two quizzes. Wish me luck. Meanwhile, the questions may get a bit delayed due to this trip. If they do, i promise that they’ll be back on track by next Tuesday.

Sixteen answers, and yes, its definitely due to the elections. However, none of you guys seem to have noticed that while indelible ink is put on the index finger, it has been put here on the middle finger. That’s because the general and assembly elections took place the same year there. Thus, it was instructed that ink be put on the index finger for the first election, and the middle finger for the next. This was to avoid confusion.

  10. The Bachchans had just returned after casting their votes in 2009. This was when ink marking was done on the nail of the middle finger... particularly of the left hand!
    They were posing for the cams and it didn't go down well with fans!

  11. They voted in some election and were showing the mark of indelible ink on the finger. I can see something marked there.

  12. First of all, they are showing the "middle finger" and according to the rules the left forefinger has to be marked by the ink and hence the controversy.
