----------------- Please note that there was no character named Khalia in Sholay. There was though a character named Kaaliya (sometimes spent "Kaalia" but never with a 'h'). The character was played by Viju Khote whose filmography 240+ movies) is available at: http://poll.imdb.com/name/nm0451864/ Khalia is a town in West Bengal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalia Also a spicy dish in Andhra Pradesh http://spicyandhra.blogspot.com/2006/10/khalia.html A Georgian beef stew http://www.elook.org/recipes/american/1211.html And a puppy up for adoption http://www.kefalonia-animal-trust.org/html/antonias_200_foster_puppies_6.html The only possibility I see is that in the controversy ridden upcoming Ram Gopal Varma remake of Sholay there is a character named Khalia who is killed by Gabbar Singh (played by Amitabh Bachchan). If that is the case then Selma knows something we all don't and has educated us. Definitely a first for her. Thanks Selma. Cheers!
