Trivia
She was the star in India's first Sindhi film Abana (1960) and a then unknown teenager Sadhana played her younger sister. When Sadhana asked for her autograph, Sheila said that the day will come when she'd ask for Sadhana's autograph. The prediction came true as Sadhana became one of the great stars of Hindi cinema in the 1960s.
