Master Bobby from Amar Prem is Actually Masooma a Girl
Introduction
When I first saw this boy in the movie Amar Prem I was impressed by the Masoomiyat (innocence) on his face. After that I had seen him in many other movies and everywhere the role assigned to him was of an ideal and obedient boy. I am talking about Master Bobby here.
Role in Amar Prem
In the movie Amar Prem, Master Bobby has played the role of a boy named Nandu who is deprived of his mother's love as she died long ago. Now he has a step mother who does not like him and keeps pestering him, making him work like servants.
Somehow a lady named Pushpa who is a Tawaif or Veshya (played by Sharmila Tagore) identifies him as they both lived in the same village earlier. She loved Nandu and knows that Nandu is deprived of a mother's love. She tries her best to provide him all the love and affection that she can from her end.
She buys Jalebis, Samosas for Nandu regularly as his Step Mother never gives him such things to eat.
Once Nandu fell seriously ill and his parents could not afford good treatment for him. Then Pushpa comes to rescue him and asks the city's best doctor to treat Nandu by paying all of his fees in advance secretly with the help of Rajesh Khanna. Nandu gets well and his father finds out that Pushpa has helped him. He then meets her and expresses his gratitude.
Anyways that's the story of Amar Prem...
The Surprising Discovery
One day I watched another movie clip on Facebook and realized that the boy named Master Bobby has played the role of a girl in this movie with Kishore Kumar.
Then I did little more research and found out that this boy whom we know as Master Bobby is actually Masooma who is a girl.
I was astonished to know that a child whom I mistook for a boy is actually a girl. Then I did a little more Googling and found out that Masooma has acted in a few other movies.
Other Films and; Where is She Now?
I wonder where she is now. She must be around 60 years old now as she would have been around 10 years old during Amar Prem which was released 54 years ago.
