- Dad's weekly wages spent on girl's food... while rest of family go hungry
- Daughter demands food from neighbours when she's finished eating
- Rolls on floor crying and eats MUD if parents refuse to feed her
- Muches 15 biscuits and TEN bananas (and that's just for an afternoon snack)
Always room for more: 14st 5lbs Suman Khatun, 6, tucks into one of the many bowls of eggs and rice that she gets through each day. Her much more appropriately built cousin , Baadshah Khan, looks on
'Milk is expensive in India and I couldn't afford to buy her as much as she demanded as a baby,' he said.'My only option was to give her food grains. I used to crush them up and hoped they would fill her. Maybe that is to blame because by the age of two she weighed just over six stone,' he added.
In one week Suman gets through an astonishing 14kgs of rice, 8kgs of potatoes, 8kgs of fish and about 180 bananas, as well as snacking on her favourite Bengali sweets and cream cakes.
The worryingly obese child gorges on enough food to feed an average family of four - and still complains of hunger to her despairing parents.
She does no exercise and is exhausted walking for any more than a minute, collapsing on a sweaty heap on the floor.
Suman spends her entire day sitting in front of the television or watching her older sister Shabnam, 13, twice her age and half her size, play with neighbourhood friends.
Weighing the same as basketball legend Michael Jordan in his prime, the six-year-old is too unfit to play cricket or run around with the rest of the neighbourhood children.
They're all mine! Suman clutches the two enormous barrels of rice she'll eat in a week, and right, she squeezes into a chair at home in West Bengal, India, but she'll soon be too large to fit in
Beli Bibi explains: 'I've tried almost everything to control Suman's appetite, but she cries so much that I have no choice but to give in. I've tried to be strict and refuse her food but she then rolls on the floor and starts eating mud instead. I can't let my child eat mud so I end up giving her more food.'I feel so embarrassed when she goes over the road and demands more food, it's like we starve her or something. Then my neighbours feel sorry for her so they feed her too.'

'She weighs five times what a normal six year old does,' he said. 'It's time the parents took the situation seriously. If she continues to eat the way she does, she might die of a cardiac arrest in the very near future. It's a worrying time.'
But it seems Suman's parents have no idea how to control their daughter.
'We've done nothing wrong. We're helpless,' said mum Beli Bibi.
'If she cries a lot, she gets ill and bleeds through her nose, which is even worse. So we try to keep her happy and provide her with whatever she wants. Food makes her happy.
'Our hands are tied.'

Madhuri Dixit Nene
"I have no idea if they understand it and I like it that way. I want them to be as innocent as possible. Even today they come running to me and say that mom you are on TV. My little one comes to me and says, 'really are you that famous'. But they are untouched by it and that's the way I like it," said Madhuri, who is currently judging the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6'.
The 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' superstar is judging the current season of the dance reality show along with director-producer Karan Johar and choreographer Remo. Madhuri, a great dancer herself, wants youngsters to take up classical dancing as it is closer to Indian culture. "There is more of western dancing coming in because I think today youth wants everything fast and it is easier to learn. Our classical is where the whole treasure lies. Once you learn classical you can learn any form of dance. So I think it is very important to have that base. I would urge people to learn more classical," she added.
After marriage, Madhuri relocated to US for almost a decade. In 2011, she shifted her base back to Mumbai along with her family. She is working on two Bollywood films - 'Gulaab Gang' and 'Dedh Ishqiya'.
