What the fish?!?
Okay, can anyone help me here? I just shared Om Shanti Om with my son last night and was reminded of a question I've had for sometime. I can't help wondering if they are simply using the word fish as a stand in for more offensive language or if there is some cultural significance to the SRK's usage of it as a curse word in the film. If any of you know I would appreciate it if you would share.
We love this movie and love all the gags, I figure there is more than one we're missing in this one but the fish thing left me wondering. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing too, Wendy and figured it was just a substitute for the other word. I just thought it was hilarious though! I think he said that in Ra.One too. But I'd like to know the answer to that also. Maybe you can ask him on Twitter! lol

I'm assuming it's a stand-in for a swear word. I've also noticed that swear words spoken in Hindi are translated as non-swear words in the English subtitles. But I don't know why.

Like we don't recognize them? We've laughed over that a time or two. I just wondered if there was some joke we weren't getting on the fish thing but we kind of thought it was a stand in, one I've been using in occasion because it amuses me. LOL

Nan and I always wonder that too, and we noticed he did it again in Ra.One! We use it as a joke now. :-P
