Yeh kya hua

What just happened? Cracked by Debasish and Manu.
The guy in the background was fired by his company Macquarie for watching semi-nude pictures of Miranda Kerr while his colleague was given the interview on national TV. However, this lead to a global support forum being created called "Save Dave" requesting Macquarie to reverse the dismissal. Miranda Kerr, herself, voiced her support for the guy. The descision to fire him was eventually overturned.

Pehli aurat.

Replace the first word of B (B isn't exactly The Killers) with its own synonym. Then connect that and A. What do you get? (There are only three of its kind. B is the first, A is the second and the third happened in 2008.)

A


B
B = Somebody told me (The picture is the cover of the single)
A = No promises by Icehouse
Synonym in B is someone. So B become Someone told me. Along with A and "As if nothing had happened" are the three albums (B and the third album are with a French title) of France's 'pehli aurat' Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

Well cracked by Ankit Maheshwari and Manu. All these ladies have been linked (and mostly confirmed) to have had an illicit relationship with Tiger Woods. Also, as Manu informs us there have been 3 new addition to the above list. =)

Jhaapto.

Identify this person, who, during his time, was responsible for the migration of over 300,000 people. Its often said that an equal number came from both the sea and land from all over the world.

Hint:
Something done on A in B which can have some issues with C. Let that be D. Something that can be said to be the influencing factor for D is E. The background of the main protagonist of E is a very heavy hint for the above person. Identify him.


A

B

C

Completely correct answer given by Kaushik. Quoting him:

"A - Johnny Walker
B - CID
Here CID is the movie, and Johnny walker is Badruddin, who sings - "Yeh hain Bambai Meri Jaan" (D). Bambai can offend (C), Raj Thackrey. Now the song is heavily inspired by the American Ballad "Oh My Darling, Clementine" from the movie "My Darling Clementine"(E), which is based on the California Gold Rush, which in turn, was started by James W. Marshall, the old man in the pic."

(E) was actually intended to be "Oh My Darling, Clementine" only because the protagonist, Clementine, (as stated in the 3rd line of the ballad) is the daughter of a miner, 49er. 49er is a term given specifically to the miners of the California Gold Rush.

Also a rather lame hint was the title of the post. According to Google Translation, Rush when translated to hindi means 'jhaapto'. =P

And Kaushik, thank you for the glowing remarks on the question.

'A' was the first one to do 'it' with his aircraft commander. 'B' did 'it' after him, but with his mother. Together, till date, they remain the only two to do 'it'. 'C' is a hint as well as part of the connect. Identify 'A' and 'B' and what was the 'it' they did?

A


B


C

The question was a little wrong factually. B did 'it' first. However it was still cracked by Anubhesh, Kaushik and Mit.

A - Charles Sweeney. He dropped 'FatMan' on the 'bockscar' named after his aircraft commander Fredrick Bock.

B- Paul Tibbets. He dropped 'Little Boy' on the 'Enola Gay' named after his mother.

C - Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the make of both the planes.
