Indian people, who come to Uzbekistan, say that they fall in love
with Uzbek cities, though it happens slowly.
Many of them find our cities, and first of all Tashkent as very
beautiful, green and clean. Wide and well asphalted streets, which
are not crowded, absence of traffic jam, neat parks, trees,
meadows, narrow irrigation channels throughout the whole city,
serene, azure sky and nice, warm and friendly people.
Uzbekistan has high traditions of welcoming its guests. Indian
guests are usually overwhelmed by the warmth of the Uzbek
hospitality. They are usually surprised how many Uzbek people love
Indian songs and Bollywood stars. You can easily find somewhere
on the shop-windows and house walls the posters of Shahrukh
Khan or Rani Mukerji. If you go to bazaars, you can be welcomed by
Uzbeks saying "Namaste" or by old Raj Kapoor's songs like "Mera
joota hai Japani. Dil hai Hindustani"!!
Every week at least three Hindi films are dubbed in Uzbek
language and shown on the National Uzbek TV. They are very
popular among youth as were to the older generation. People
really love them, having many other favourite actors like Amitabh
Bachchan, Amir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Sridevi, Aiswarya Rai, Mithun
Chakraborti, Priety Zinta.
