Charming little Sobha Putcha of Chennai (pictured
with Siddi), a girl of 6 born to Ravi and Rhanni Putcha, claims her name
is actually Girijha Gupta of Kalpakkam Township, who fell out of the
boat and drowned while assisting her husband Siddi with his fishing.
Young Sobha ran away to Kalpakkam and refuses to leave the house of
Siddi (now remarried).
Siddi and his current wife have been very patient
with Sobha, who struggles with jealousy at the presence of Siddi's new
wife.
A troubled Siddi confirms that Sobha regularly
recounts details from his first marriage that only Girijha could have
known.
Sobha's parents have also showed extensive
patience with this curious case. Sobha has recently started her
studies in Chennai but her parents deliver her to Kalpakkam Township a
weekend a month. Young Sobha demands to wear jewelry, cosmetics,
polish on fingernails and to spoken to as an adult woman |
