Children’s Day 2025: Bhoothnath To Mr India And TZP’s Nikumbh Sir, 5 Bollywood Characters That Are Every Kid’s Favourite

Some Bollywood characters don’t just appear on screen — they stay with us. They’re the ones kids quote endlessly, mimic in front of mirrors, and watch on repeat with wide-eyed joy. Funny, warm, and unforgettable, these iconic characters continue to light up every child’s imagination.

This Children’s Day, let’s revisit five timeless Bollywood characters who’ve won over kids with their humour, heart, and magic.

5 Bollywood Characters Kids Love

Virus — 3 Idiots (Boman Irani)

Boman Irani’s ‘Virus’ is the ultimate strict-but-hilarious school principal. With his stopwatch obsession, dramatic tone, and the legendary speech ‘Life is a race!’, he became a character kids can’t help but imitate. His over-the-top quirks and funny seriousness make him an all-time favourite in every classroom parody!

Ram Shankar Nikumbh — Taare Zameen Par (Aamir Khan)

Aamir Khan’s Nikumbh Sir is the teacher every child dreams of — kind, patient, and truly understanding. He celebrates creativity, sees every child’s unique potential, and turns learning into joy. No wonder kids (and parents) adore him for his warmth and empathy.

Bhoothnath — Bhoothnath (Amitabh Bachchan)

Amitabh Bachchan gave us the most loveable ghost ever! His Bhoothnath is grumpy yet endearing, scary yet sweet — and that friendship with little Banku still melts hearts. A ghost who makes you laugh instead of scream? Kids were instantly hooked!

Ashok Bansal aka King Uncle — King Uncle (Jackie Shroff)

Jackie Shroff’s transformation from a stern businessman to a soft-hearted father figure is one for the ages. Watching him go from strict to sweet makes children root for him all the way. King Uncle isn’t just a character — he’s proof that even the toughest hearts can melt with love.

Arun Verma aka Mr India — Mr India (Anil Kapoor)

Anil Kapoor’s invisible hero needs no introduction. Cool, funny, and brave, Mr. India remains a superhero unlike any other. From playing hide-and-seek with villains to taking care of kids, his invisibility and heart of gold make him every child’s ultimate on-screen favourite.

Because some heroes don’t need capes — just heart, humour, and a touch of magic. Happy Children’s Day!
