Another interesting tidbit many readers will not know is that the actor/dancer in the Billu clip is the 45-year old Shah Rukh Khan, while the woman is..um... 21 or so!

It may be that in the new cultural politics of bollywood, the external dimension of collective identity – India as perceived by the world as opposed to India as perceived by Indians - has gained more prominence , thanks to the highly-mobile Indian middle class and the diaspora.
