Did you know that Kareena Kapoor wore over 130 different dresses for the movie Heroine or that Sridevi played Rajinikanth’s stepmom when she was just 13 years old? Did you know that over 20,000 litres of indelible ink was used in the 2014 elections? Or that our wedding industry is estimated to be a staggering US$ 25 billion, higher than the GDP of Nepal? These are just some of the interesting numbers explored in Vital Stats Of India, a new show starting on History TV18.
It covers many OMG facts pertaining to everything Indian — cricket, politics, finance, food and of course, Bollywood — in a very entertaining manner.
Hosts Rocky and Mayur embark on a fun, exciting journey across the country to explore and break down the numbers behind it. From visiting a condom factory in Aurangabad to crack some figures (no pun intended!) to gambling at a casino in Goa to understand how money works, to shaking a leg with Shiamak Davar’s troupe for insights into the glam world of Bollywood, the duo leaves no stone unturned to understand the numbers that make India tick.
Vital Stats of India premieres tonight at 9 and will air every Friday on History TV18.
