Women's Day Quiz!
Posted by Anantha | Posted in Quiz | Posted on Monday, March 08, 2010
On the occasion of Women's Day, I wish all my female readers, friends, cousins, colleagues a very happy Women's Day. And a special salute to my Amma and sis.
Below is a mail FWD I got containing a collage of 25 famous Indian female personalities. Name them!
I will keep the contest open for few days and will update the answers in the end.
Update - 15th March:
My friend Rekha had forwarded this mail to me. It is always fun to answer these Who's who kind of quizzes, especially pictorial ones. That is why I posted it in my blog. Without any help I could recognize 22 pics. I could not name 13th, 14th and 15th pic. Then an intelligent Google search revealed me the name of the person in 15th pic. Rekha gave me the answer for 14th. I still am not convinced about the answer for 13th pic.
So here is the list of answers:
- Madhubala
- Indra Nooyi
- Arundhathi Nag
- Kirron kher
- Medha Patkar
- Kalpana Chawla
- Sudha Chandran
- Shabana Azmi
- Kiran Mazumdar
- M.S.Subbulakshmi
- Usha Uthup
- Sania Mirza
Kiran Desai (I doubt this...)- Kamala Selvaraj
- Rukmini Devi Arundale - famous dancer
- Shubha Mudgal
- Arundathi Roy
- Karnam Malleswari
- Shobha De
- Kamala Das - Rebellious bilingual (Malayalam & English) poet who passed away recently. She had gotten converted to Islam and had assumed the name Kamala Surayya in later part of her life.
- Barkha Dutt
- Kiran Bedi
- P.T.Usha
- Shanaaz Hussain
- Mira Nair
Update - 19th March:
13th pic is of 26 year old Lakshmi Venu who joined as board of director for TVS in August 2009.

You missed 4 and guessed 2 wrongly :)
