A lot of speculations about the kid on the Parle G biscuit covers were made back in the 90s. Few names like Neeru Deshpande, Sudha Murthy and Gunjan Gundaniya were considered to be the kid who featured on the cover. Amongst the three, Neeru Deshpande caught major media attention. Some regional newspaper carried her picture with a short write up while some other media outlets claimed that Neeru is from Nagpur and is 65 years old. The reports further narrated the story of how she got on the biscuit cover. The story reads that she was just 4 years old when her father who wasn't a professional photographer clicked her. The photograph came out to be so nice that it got selected to be placed on the wrapper of Parle G biscuits and is still on the cover. However, all the rumours were set aside when, Parle Products’ group product manager, Mayank Shah, denied all stories by saying that the kid is just an illustration which was made in the 60s by Everest creative.
