Amarjeet, who was listening to all his mother was saying, couldn't suppress a cheeky laugh.
"Haan [yes], first you spoke of a being a poor family. Now you speak of Kaju Katli. Talking to the television people has made her like this. To be honest, there was no abject poverty. What papa earned was just enough, and the credit lies in the fact that she ran the house in competently. Neither me nor my brother felt we had to forgo anything for the sake of Sushil," he says.
