Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where is most of this movie set?

Answer: Salford

This film is set in 1971 in Salford, my hometown, which is in Manchester, England. George Khan moved to Salford in 1937 and soon met Ella, who became his wife and the bearer of his children. George would prefer to live in Bradford, but Ella doesn't like the idea of living there so they stay in Salford.
2. What business does George Khan own?

Answer: Chip shop

Ella and her friend Annie serve the chips while the sons and Meena work in the back, whether its slicing fish or sweeping up to Bollywood tunes. Quite a few scenes happen in this shop, such as the beginning of Gerge's rage and his last scene in the film with Ella.
3. When Mr. Shah says that George is 'truly blessed' having six sons, George says that one of his sons is 'dead'. Which son is he referring to?

Answer: Nazir

George has seven children; Nazir, Abdul, Tariq, Maneer, Saleem, Meena and Sajid, but since he feels that Nazir betrayed the family after jilting the arranged marriage, he denies him as a son.
4. The Khan family go to Bradford in this film. What does George do whilst there?

Answer: Arrange a marriage

George Khan arranges for his two sons, Abdul and Tariq, to be married to Mr. Shah's two daughters, Nigget and Nushaaba, who aren't very attractive. The Khan family also visit the movie theatre during their time in Bradford.
5. Stella's friend Peggy is played by which Welsh actress?

Answer: Ruth Jones

Ruth Jones has appeared in TV shows such as 'Little Britain' and 'Gavin and Stacey' (Joanna Page starred alongside her in 'Gavin and Stacey'). Kimberly Nixon was born in Bristol but raised in Wales as a child.
6. Which character says this: "It's not fair 'cause I like curry an' all."?

Answer: Stella

Stella says this to Tariq after they kiss. She compares them to Romeo and Juliet and doesn't let the colour of Tariq's father's skin get in their way. He retaliates to all this by saying, "Yeah, nice one."
7. Tariq upsets Peggy when he calls her an offensive name. Stella says that he didn't mean it, which he plays along with and offers to give Peggy what?

Answer: Free chips for a week

At the offer of chips, Peggy returns and asks for a bottle of coke as well, and for Saleem to give her a kiss. Tariq says okay to this, but she might have to settle for the chips and coke.
8. Maneer is blamed for destroying George Khan's wedding stuff for Abdul and Tariq, but who actually destroyed it?

Answer: Tariq

Sajid told Tariq and Meena about the engagement. Tariq went ballistic when he saw the wedding stuff and destroyed it, and Maneer was cleaning up the mess when his father entered the room. George demanded to know who destroyed his stuff and dragged Maneer to the chip shop and attacked him. Ella came to the defence of her son, but this led to her being hit numerous times by George.
9. After their trip to Bradford, Tariq and Abdul go to a nightclub, but the bouncer only lets 'certain people' in. Tariq goes by the name of Tony when he enters the club, but what does Abdul go by?

Answer: Arthur

When Abdul tries to follow Tariq into the club, he is stopped by the bouncer who calls him 'smiler'. Tariq comes to his defence and says he is with him: "This is our kid, er..."
"Arthur. My name's Arthur."
The two brothers get into the nightclub under their false names, and Stella and Peggy follow them.
10. The Khan children see themselves as British instead of Pakistani.

Answer: True

The Khan children prefer to be seen as British and do not like the idea of their father trying to make them follow his Muslim ways. Tariq even argues with his father over this when he calls him a hypocrite for marrying an English woman, and won't allow Tariq to marry who he wants.
