What I liked was,she was not the precocious kid we usually see in Hindi films.

So she did work there, though even so she is not an actress, for sure. She came years before her time. In today's age, where almost all the heroines are only beautiful, and can barely speak Hindi, or act, she would not have been a misfit. :)Bannohttp://batulm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-3034795658562087182010-09-19T22:53:03.100-07:002010-09-19T22:53:03.100-07:00@Nivedita: I love that song and also Jaaney kaisey...@Nivedita: I love that song and also Jaaney kaisey ankhiyon mein kho gayi ankhiyan.

Her acting was fine otherwise - I think she portrayed the somewhat repressed and quiet woman effectively - but the stilted diction spoilt it for me.<br /><br />Punya: That's The Householder.
