My heart is beating, at 24 carats per second
Q. Why did Zaphod Beeblebrox visit the Bollywood Brothel?No filmi scarlet women played by an actress who earns more than 10 lakhs per film can have anything less than a heart of pure gold. Rani Mukherjee in particular seems to have amassed so many gilded hearts that even after selling a few to Ashok Saraf, she still has a couple left over for any urgent heart transplants.
A. Because he'd heard the members there each had a "Heart of Gold".
This has naturally made all filmi step-moms angry: why is that we reputedly have hearts of stone while these ladies of the night get all the gold, they ask (and with reason). What happens to the reformed streetwalker that the filmy dad brings home to introduce to the children as their new mum? Does she have to have a change of heart before she can cross over the threshold?

The fallen woman with a heart of gold meme has been there at least since Vasantasena. Think of a cinematic cliche and you can trace it to an ancient Indian/Greek theatrical text.
