Gulabati was a devotee of Lord 'Shiva' and a child was offered to them as a blessing from the Lord. They named the child Bankelal.

[edit] Plot summary

[edit] Attributes

One day Lord Shanker visited Bankelal's home with his consort Parvati. His mother offered them a glass of milk unaware that her naughty child had put a frog in the milk ! When Lord Shanker discovered this he put a curse on Bankelal that if ever Bankelal tried to harm anybody, the person would be blessed with good results and some part of that would also be 'rubbed' on to Bankelal.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Bankelal doesn't have any so called superhero powers, but he manages to produce some 'magic' by virtue of his 'curse' as he never spares his naughty mind from desining dangerous plots to kill Raja Vikram Singh ,but the curse makes everything turn out good in the end.In the process the readers are offered enough opportunities to laugh their hearts out !!
