True, but in Gujarati there is not much difference in reading 'dha' and 'gha' and gujarati media always called her Megha..But you are right..
Look Big B is already delivering RESULTS to Gujarat.
The loosers are Maharasthra & Andhra Pradesh.

Thank the Thackerays: Mumbai pushing investments to Gujarat
TNN, 4 February 2010, 04:41am
AHMEDABAD: Hardik Shah, who deals in real estate in Vapi town of south Gujarat, is a busy man these days. Vapi has been a favourite location for
industrialists from Mumbai who want to set up plants in Gujarat because they find the state more investor friendly.
On Wednesday, he was with a client near Sanjan trying to identify land for a medium-sized petrochemical unit. “Of late, inquiries from Mumbai have increased substantially for suitable land near Maharashtra’s border with Gujarat. These people are upset with parochialism in and around Mumbai,” says Shah.
Obviously, Amitabh Bachchan is not the only Mumbaikar who is rooting for Gujarat. The shrill tone of ‘Amchi Mumbai’ is driving investments towards Gujarat. S Sukeja, director of a firm which makes cranes, says, “Though we are based in Mumbai and we had planned some expansion in Thane, we have now decided to relocate the new unit to Gujarat.”
This, according to government officials, has pushed up realty prices by at least 10 to 15 per cent in just the last two weeks. “Normally, realty deals in Gujarat take place only after Uttarayan. But the trouble in Mumbai has only spurred interest here,” a collector of a south Gujarat district told TOI.
“Of late, investors from Mumbai and Hyderabad have come here due to political disturbances there,” said Jaxay Shah, president of Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI), Gujarat chapter.
That this should happen in a year when both states are celebrating their golden jubilee is also significant. The hype around Swarnim Gujarat is creating an air of positivity around the state at a time when its neighbour is trying to slam the doors on ‘outsiders’.
So, be it a large infrastructure firm, which is planning to shift a substantial part of their operations from Mumbai to south Gujarat, or a leading company that is close to setting up a steel plant in the state instead of Maharashtra, the list is growing long.
“The number of inquiries from companies in Maharashtra has certainly gone up in the past one year ever since the Marathi ‘manoos’ thing started,” say senior state government officials. “Some of these investors are of course Gujaratis who are feeling increasingly uncomfortable in the neighbouring state,” he said.

Sunny Leone a true Canadian DESI now back in India !.
Everything we witness today, exemplifies the divisive politics in India. Divisive it is, on the basis of language, community, region, or state. It is sad that the country has degenerated to this level.
Now for those who are ready with brickbats - this is pain and anguish, and NOT finger pointing.
Back in the 50's each Indian was identified himself by Caste. community, and religion. Yet, the country came first, and these barriers were predominantly ignored. That was so. because we believed that the country came first. We were so proud to be Indians first!
Will we ever go back to an era like that?

I dont think 50 years back this was the case. Yes when fighting for independance maybe, but socially the division of caste, language etc has been in India for God knows how long.
I think as long we are not open to the idea of our selves or our own family (say your daughter or your sister) socializing with someone from a lower caste, we can't throw stones. Its a system that is hard to fight. So is dowry.
But this is not the topic. I think Gujarat is doing well for itself and it should. Amitabh is an odd choice since he is a UP-ite by birth and now in Mumbai.
That Amitabh or big B as he is fondly known, should become the brand ambassador for Gujarat, does us proud. Born in UP, with a career in Maharashtra, and now the brand ambassador for Gujarat - that shows how versatile a person he is.
I just hope he does not end up, getting used by politicians, for their private agenda, and dropped like a hot brick, when his usefulness is over. Politicians all over the world, are scumbags, and I hope big B does not get hurt.
