Subhash K Jha shines the spotlight on Neetu Singh on reel and in real in a birthday special feature.
Baby Neetu grew up to be one of India’s most vivacious actresses. The transition from the adorable little gamine in Do Kaliyan to the exuberant heart stealer in Khel Khel Mein was almost seamless. Very few child stars have graduated to adult roles so effortlessly.
