During those years, the CEO of Geo TV (owned by Jang Group of Pakistan) had attended FICCI Frames - the annual conference of the media and entertainment industry in India.
During his speech, he said he believed so strongly in 'Aman ki Asha' - a joint campaign of Jang Group and Times of India - that he had named his daughter Asha. In Pakistan, people would often think it was mispronunciation and ask him if he meant 'Aisha'. And he had to keep correcting them that her name was indeed Asha.
Sigh! The times of 'Aman ki Asha' :)

What a lovely anecdote
I'm a little scared for you just reading the piece. Fervently hoping the unintentional subversive value of screening 20 year old films goes unnoticed.
Brilliant topic and very well-written essay, Maanvav!
But I have to ask: Maggi? In a theatre? What is going on there? Where's the popcorn?
Good fun
Lovely piece :)
