Be
it
a
modern
city
or
rural
countryside,
Bollywood
sells
equally
well
everywhere.
The
most
interesting
example
that
we
heard
of
recently
is
use
of
filmstars
names
to
sell
donkeys
on
sale
at
the
on-going
annual
animal
fair
at
the
Dewa
Sharief
Mela
near
Lucknow.
Aishwarya,
Rani,
Juhi,
Preity,
Priyanka,
Aamir,
Salman,
Jackie,
Shah
Rukh,
Kangana
and
the
list
goes
on.
And
naming
the
donkeys
after
the
filmstars
has
boasted
the
sales
of
the
animals
and
added
colour
to
the
fair.
This year "Rani" was sold at the price of Rs.25, 000. She is short and fair. In fact, the buyer of the donkey feels that she is very good looking and his children will love her. "Rani's" sibling named "Aishwarya" however was purchased by a businessman from Haryana. The highest price this year was paid for "Shah Rukh" who fetched Rs. 35, 000. On the other hand, Rakhi Sawant went for Rs.18, 000. This fair is a 103 year old tradition and now it has become a start studded affair. The bigger the name of the star after which the donkey is named, the higher the price of the animal.
Apart from the filmstars, some of the donkeys are also named after famous sportspersons like Sachin, Sania and Dhoni. So, if you want to buy a star donkey, you know where to go.
