Kishore Kumar was married four times: to Ruma Guha (1951-1958), Madhubala (1960-1976 until her death), Yogeeta Bali (1976-1978), and Leena Chandawarkar (1978-1987 until his death).

In Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (KKKG), Shah Rukh Khan played the character Rahul Raichand, the eldest son of a wealthy industrialist family who is disowned after marrying a girl from a lower socio-economic background. This 2001 Karan Johar film was one of SRK's biggest blockbusters and showcased the family dynamics theme.

Among Stanley Kubrick's films on the IMDB Top 250 list, Full Metal Jacket (1987) is the last one chronologically. While Kubrick directed Eyes Wide Shut later (1999), it does not feature on the Top 250 list. Full Metal Jacket, a Vietnam War film, is acclaimed for its gritty portrayal of military training and combat, making it his final Top 250-listed film.

The Self Help Groups (SHG) Bank Linkage Programme is India's flagship micro-finance initiative that links small voluntary groups of women (typically 10-20 members) with banks for credit facilities. Started in 1992, it enables poor rural women to access small loans for income-generating activities without collateral, making it synonymous with micro-finance in the Indian context.

In the 2000 film Hey Ram, directed by and starring Kamal Haasan, Shah Rukh Khan played the role of Amjad Ali Khan, a close friend of the protagonist in the partition-era drama. This was a special appearance by SRK in a film primarily set against the backdrop of India's partition in 1947.

The Raja J. Chelliah Committee (1991), Kelkar Task Force on Direct Taxes (2002), and Tax Reforms Committee under Mr. Subramanian were all committees on tax reforms. The Taraporewala Committee (1997) was specifically on capital account convertibility, not tax reforms - making it the correct answer as the 'not a tax reforms committee' option.

The Grey Revolution refers to the increased use and production of fertilizers in Indian agriculture.

The Peace Pipeline Agreement (also known as the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project) was signed between India, Iran, and Pakistan.

Anurag Kashyap's directorial career has complexity due to release delays. 'Paanch' (2003) was his first completed film but faced censorship issues and wasn't released until 2023. 'Black Friday' (2004) was actually the first to release theatrically (2007). 'Dev.D' (2009) and 'No Smoking' (2007) came later. If 'debut' means 'first film made' then Paanch is correct; if it means 'first released' then Black Friday should be correct.
