Who do you think you are?

Explanation:
"Who the hell are you?" can be a genuine enquiry in some circumstances when one is taken by surprise. For example, if you arrive at home to find a stranger in the sitting room, you may well exclaim, "who the hell are you?". On the other hand, "who do you think you are?", always conveys the kind of derision intended by तुम किस खेत की मूली हो.
