If you grew up in the Nineties, you must have heard about or watched the 1996 film Girvi, which was written, directed and produced by actress Soni Razdan. Girvi starred Renuka Shahane and Kunal Kemmu as a child artiste. The film, which also featured Makrand Deshpande and Kanchan Rawal, was aired Doordarshan. On Thursday, Renuka Shahane posted a picture collage comprising stills from the 1996 film and wrote: "A fan sent me these screen grabs of a gem of a telefilm 'Girvi' with a powerful story, written and directed by the lovely, talented Soni Razdan, starring Kunal Kemmu, who has been such a brilliant actor from his childhood. This film was made in 1996 for Doordarshan. I had the good fortune of acting in it #throwbackthursday #womendirectors."
Girvi was one of the few projects in which Kunal Kummu starred as a child actor.
