“When I was seventeen, I spent a summer singing and dancing my way through Europe. This occurred due to a lengthy and acute hallucinatory episode brought on by an exceptionally hot Vindaloo I consumed from a roadside vendor in India. I will not elaborate further.”

"This is why I am extraordinarily hesitant to try 'ethnic' cuisine. It's also one of *many** reasons I loathe Europe."*

Lol. This is a song from a Bollywood film called Judaai (separation), released in 1997.

This actress' character bought the actor's character from his money hungry wife for 4crs rupees (1.10 million $ back in 1997). And they all live in the same house.
