Bholi is a story written by K.A. Abbas. The story revolves around a girl who due to an accidental fall and disease in her childhood faces the problem of being dull and ugly. She is always a target by everyone for not being good-looking and intelligent.
HER name was Sulekha, but since her childhood everyone had been calling her Bholi, the simpleton. She was the fourth daughter of Numberdar Ramlal. When she was ten months old, she had fallen off the cot on her head and perhaps it had damaged some part of her brain.
Bholi stammered and was just a bundle of nerves when she attended school in the beginning. Her teacher treated her kindly and encouraged her to have confidence and be bold.
Bholi – a heart-touching animated story adapted from the classic tale by K.A. Abbas, brings to life the journey of a young girl once dismissed as a simpleton.
Bholi is an Indian brand that celebrates its heritage by making raw and uninhibited pieces in traditional fabrics. We're not just showing you what our ancestors wore, we're telling you about their spirits. Bholi products are representations of the immense souls who have touched this art.
Bholi, originally named Sulekha, was born into a poor family. As a baby, she fell from her cot, injuring her head and affecting her brain development. Later, she suffered from smallpox, which left her face covered in pockmarks, and she developed a stammer, making her a target of mockery.
