Aap apnaa janeoo Dhak leejiye

Film : Hera Pheri 
Year of release : 1976 
Spoken by : Ajay (Vinod Khanna) 
Spoken to : Asha Khanna (SulakshaNa PanDit)
Dialogue writer: Satish Bhatnagar

Ajay saves Asha from some goons who are trying to molest her. He manages to scare them off. However, the goons have torn Asha's clothes. And the audience and Ajay can see the fat ugly bra strap that was common in the 1970s. But the line that Ajay delivers has to go down as a classic. He says

"aap apnaa janeoo Dhak leejiye" 
आप अपना जनेऊ ढक लीजिये" 

Whenever I am faced with such a situation, I cannot but help remember this line. Whether I use it or not depends on how well I know the person in question. But the line crops up nonetheless and brings a smile to the face.
