May I.
I draw my lineage to a famous 11th century Sufi poet. After being courted by a king for forty days, I married into a royal family at the age of 15. After my death, I was venerated by my son as Mary of the Royal House. Who am I? rueben_lys ( talk · contribs) 07:37, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Initially refusing to marry my husband, I am supposed to have said I shall marry someone whose collar I can touch, and not one whose skirt it does not touch.

Well don't have much time to compose a question, so I'll give you something easy:
This woman was born into a film family, was an aspiring actress, and she even appeared in a number of unknown films. She had an arranged marriage, which produced a son, and was later divorced/widowed. She later met a famous Maharaja and soon got married to him. She died young along with her husband, shortly after the birth of her second son. Her second son was killed in the early 80s.
Her elder son is now a famous media figure in India. He wrote the script for a film based on her life.
Who is she? Who is her second husband? Who is her elder son? What's the film? Shahid • Talk2me 20:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

The international price for X is set by an Indian agency. Its name in India arises from farsi phrase for the description of its looks. It has multiple theurapatic uses, most notably for a common condition leading to cardiovascular problems. However we, in India, commonly use it for a different kind of bodily problem.
