Q is for quiz

Just like any sane person who has embarked on the A-Z blogging marathon, I started this post by googling 'Words that start with Q'. After dismissing queen, question, quest, quick, quaint, quilt, quotation, quality, quantity, quora, quail, quantum, and many others, I hovered over 'quiz'. It brought back memories of the time I used to design A-Z Bollywood quizzes for bewdas to solve. I had done seven of them, but the last one was in June 2014. I figure there is no time like the present to do another one!

So here it is, the latest quiz in this series, and the theme is 'National Award winners'. Can you identify A-Z?

Once upon a time, A and B were part of a strange song from film C, involving many strange things - a bike, sunglasses, extremely tight jeans, beggars, clowns, policemen, policewomen, yellow raincoats, and a rather unforgettable polka-dotted red dress paired with red tights. They must be thanking their stars that they moved on from such things, for both went on to win the National Award twice. B won her second one for the 'realistic film' D, directed by 'realistic director' E, who went on to direct other 'realistic films', one of which F, got a former beauty queen and current Hollywood aspirant G, a National Award. F also starred the quirky H, who won consecutive National Awards for the films I and J. Starring opposite H in I was game-changer name-changer K, who won a National Award for the biographical film L. K also starred in a supernatural thriller M, playing fourth fiddle to Bollywood A-listers N, O and P, none of whom have won a National Award so far. N is married to royalty Q, who did win the National Award for film R, starring opposite P. R also featured a member of parliament S (also known for a multitude of 'I'm a Punjabi and PUNJABIS DON'T KEEP CALM' roles), who won a National Award for a Bengali film. S is married to T, who despite being armed with a Padma Shri and a Padma Bhushan, has never won a National Award. T was pitted against two-time National Award winner U in the film V, which took the audience by complete surprise with its unique storyline. T also had a prominent role as 'daddy cool' in W, one of the most popular films of all time, starring X whose first name starts with U's last name. X, whose superstardom is often compared to that of four-time National Award winning actor Y (also known for his 'my-son-will-retire-but-I-won't' attitude), has yet to win a National Award. X's pairing with the bubbly-until-annoying Z is immensely popular, but even Z has never bagged a National Award. To close the loop, Z is married to A.
