Bollywood Child Artists - Then & Now

Kunal Khemu then and now

Those innocent eyes tugged at all heartstrings. Be it in ‘Zakhm’ or ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’, Kunal Khemu as the child actor managed to fill our eyes with those tears.

Madhur Mittal then and now

The lad is going places, and has already received accolades for his portrayal of ‘Salim’ in the Oscar winning film, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. But long before that, he was winning hearts as a child actor in movies like ‘One 2 Ka 4’ and TV series like ‘Shaka Laka Boom Boom’ and ‘Chamatkar’.

Malvika Raaj then and now

‘Chandu ke chacha ne chandu ki chichi ko Chandni Chowk me chandi ke chamach se chatni khilayi’. She sure won our hearts as junior ‘Pooja’ in ‘Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham’, and is now winning us with her oomph on the ramp.

Parzan Dastur then and now

There was hardly a person who did not want to cuddle the star-gazing sardaar kid in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. He managed to tear us up with just one dialogue, ‘Tussi Ja rahe ho? Tussi na jao.’ Excuse us, we’re looking for tissues.

Pooja Ruparel then and now

The ‘Chutki’ from ‘DDLJ’ is all grown up and looks amazingly beautiful. However, she retains that mischievous smile with which she won our hearts, some 25 odd years back.

Sana Saeed then and now

If looks could kill, we would be dead now! Looking at Sana Saeed, we believe that magic does exist. The little 'Anjali' from 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' can make any man feel weak in the knees with those drop-dead-gorgeous looks.

Shweta Prasad then and now

She is a lead actress now in Tamil and Telugu cinema, but there was a time, when we loved her as the little sister who supports her mute and deaf, and cricket-crazy brother in every way, in the movie ‘Iqbal’. And yes, we did not forget ‘Makdee’.

Fatima Sana Shaikh then and now

The cute and bubbly daughter of Kamal Haasan and Tabu in ‘Chachi 420’ is all grown up, and we just can’t help but fall in love with this graceful beauty.

Ayesha Kapur in Black

If you thought Rani Mukerji was brilliant in ‘Black’, you must have loved Ayesha as the younger version of Michelle. At the tender age of eight, Ayesha nailed the character to perfection. No wonder she bagged all the awards for the movie. This young lady takes all the accolades for growing up gorgeous as well.

Adil Rizvi then and now

The movie 'Akele Hum Akele Tum' starring Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala also starred a little boy called Sonu, who is shown to be Aamir and Manisha's son in the movie. The child artist's real name is Adil Rizvi and today he has grown up into a good-looking lad.
