    Dwarfs too render yeoman service to society. But for them human circus remain incomplete.
    God creates diminutives so that humans marvel at them.

    @Thyagarajan injects ( with a leetul help from God) sly humor in all posts.
    "7. Shorty daughters of India marry lampoons. Jaya Bachchan and Amithabh."
    Eventually these two couldn't see eye-to-eye, and he went after a taller one, who could stand taller than the plants in the Tulip fields of Keukenhof.
    [ Years later the two women met in Rajya sabha, where they couldn't see eye-to-eye either]
    Now is the Flower Season in Holland; since that movie "Silsila", and the holiday deals to Amsterdam each year, many desi's can be seen in that venue in April-May !!

    Short actors in Bollywood come out better & within the frame, in tight shots (big closeups) with their love-interest. A tall fellow has to arch his back to get his face down to that of the actress. Tough to do when the director wants to slip in a faux-kiss scene, especially when the twosome are in the requisite gyration (Choreography makes it so!) within a song. Amir Khan doesn't gyrate as much as the others, and tries to get by having his audience focus on a story line, rather than his difficulties.

    Even in Hollywood, where the girls are leggy-tall, the guys are not too tall, but not too short. The right goldilocks-approved height. [Tom Cruise is 5'7".... Clint Eastwood had close shots only with his horse]​

    :hello: Thanks for the observation & analysis of nitty gritty in filming with pairs Of unequal heights.
    I tend to agree. I checked up with google.
    Cameroon Diaz 1.74 m Tom cruise 1.7 m
    But Vyjayantimala as Mohana managed with shorty TR R as Nathan in AVM VAZHKKAI.
    Actor pandia Rajan is short but acted as hero with several actresses taller than him and all his produced movies in tamil and some dubbed in Telugu done well at the boxoffice.
    Thanks and Regards.

    God blesses the fil-shooting with organs for perfect effect.
