Did You Know?
Yash Chopra's 1989 film Chandni starring Sridevi single-handedly revived Bollywood romance and made this name a generation's definition of ethereal beauty. The Chandni Chowk in Delhi — India's most famous market — literally means "moonlit square," named because it shone silver under the moonlight when Shah Jahan built it in 1650.
