Cinema in India
Over the past few weeks, I have left several comments about the cinema in India on YouTube; usually about the spelling of names, such as Ravina Tandon (Raveena Tandon), Madhuri Dicksit (Madhuri Dixit), and Sanjay Datt (Sanjay Dutt) to name a few.
Today is another example of me knowing more about Indian Cinema than people in India. I say Indian Cinema, as opposed to Bollywood, the term Bollywood didn't get used until the late 1980's, and most of the people mentioned had been in movies since the late 60's, if not before. How ever, the ladies mentioned and Sanjay are active to this day.
Today's mistake concerns two ladies who died many years ago; the actress is named as Durgha Khote who was active from the late 40's, until her death in the late 80's. She was a trailblazer as she was the first lady to be dressed as a lady in films, before then men used to be dressed as ladies.
The actress in the photo is Sulchana Laktar who died in 2013.
It only takes a few seconds to get the facts correct, which shows knowledge of your subject, and enhances your channel.
My other bugbears with YouTubers is the terrible grammar, and spelling ability the show regularly.
