‘K’ is a common letter catapulting star power
Bollywood’s obsessed with that mystical letter
Maybe it’s the power of Indian numerology
Add up ‘em letters to control your destiny
(yeah) Karan swapped a C for a K in Koffee
It’s all about astrology, not KKK supremacy
But lucky number lucky letter ain’t the trick
If you want success just go nepotistic
How many Ks, How many Ks
How many Ks can you take
There’s power in that letter
(Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan)
Two Kapoor sisters with double-K initials
But Bebo needed more, she just can not accept rivals
Found herself a nawab and dumped the cute one with the dimples
Leveled up her K game from doubles to triples
Triple K initials: none of the 3 Khans could
Although they self proclaim as King Khan of Bollywood
Strutting their stuff like there never was a Genghis
Macho Chocolate Heroes Conquering the Box Office
How many Ks, How many Ks
How many Ks can you take
There’s power in that letter
Katrina’s repping for the firangis
While Kalki’s a frenchy, but also born-desi (Bonjour!)
Kirron is all versions of your mommy, your aunty,
Loving but conservative, supportive of the BJP
Kajol: mononymous powerhouse (iconic!)
Beautiful monobrow, barely any lipstick
Kangana’s short a K, but if she had more, YIKES
She’d spew more nonsense and get more likes.
How many Ks, How many Ks
How many Ks can you take
There’s power in that letter

Bijuriya is a drag queen inspired by her South Asian culture. She's appreciated for her proud, festive, wacky and critical
outlook on Bollywood and other elements of Desi culture. On-stage and in her music, Bjiuriya is a dazzling thunderbolt of energy and quirkiness. She's half-brown, half-Québécoise, and she explores her cultural roots by teetering between tribute, parody and critical thinking....more
