His facial features indicated that he was most likely related to the well-known child stars of their times, the Irani sisters – Daisy and Honey.

Last year we saw Sautela Bhai (1962), thanks to film collector Surjit Singh, a simple story of two step brothers. Always make me wonder how these little fellows perform to instructions, project emotions they may never feel in real life.
