Re: Talking Pictures…
All i have heard before was BB’s grand mother was a hindu, though never believed it. now since you mentioned her i looked it up. First Motilal Nehru was a lawyer, not a king hence no point of having a court like a king. However he did go to judicial court for practice.
Indian Express newspaper says that, BB’s grand father fell in love with a courtesan of Nawab of Junagarh where he frequently used to go. Later he married her, i have no idea if he won her in a game of gambling though. My guess is he didnt “win” her as usually if you win a woman then she kinda becomes your slave , not wife.
Interesting story though.
