In a village of Puthiya in Rajshahi, he was sitting on a high hill in the late afternoon after taking pictures and looking around. At that time some children surrounded him and he talked to them and then went to the field to play football with them. In the middle of the game, he saw Tuli sitting on the doorstep of a house. Just as Jahuri's eyes recognize gems, she knows by looking at Tuli that she has found the perfect subject for her photography. He then meets Tuli and requests her to be the subject of his film. Tuli responds to his request and asks him to meet her at their house the next day. David Ledger went to Tully's house the next day. This is where these amazing photos of Tuli were taken. And in today's world, those extraordinary pictures of him are spread through the periodical called Photo Review.
