It was fun, frolic and food unlimited when little wonder girl Jannat a.k.a Phulwa of Colors’ path-breaking show with her best friend Chunni and brother Babu, went to meet the school kids of Raje Shivaji Vidhyala in Dharavi. She might be an 8 year old but Phulwa clearly mesmerized all and sundry with her charm and head –over- shoulder attitude. While she entertained the little ones with her moves on Sheila Ki jawani and played cricket with boys, she also gave them a piece of her mind. Defying her age the sprightly Phulwa advised the young minds to count their blessings and believe in God. She ate, sang and danced with the kids leaving them truly feeling contented. The kids too, inspired by her spirit gifted her a small tulsi plant as a thanking gesture. This little Phulwa is definitely full of fortitude. Atta girl!
