Bollywood’s Child Stars – Then and Now

Wanna know how those cute and chubby kids from Hindi films who had “master” and “baby” attached to their names look like now? Bollywood family drama movies were so incomplete without their cute antics.  Now, these babies and masters have grown up into hunks and ladies.  Let’s see if you can recognize them 🙂

1.  Urmila Matondkar:  She debuted as a child artist in the movie “Kalyug” and then played a pivotal role in “Masoom.”  She then came back as a lead actress and did quite a good number of films including Rangeela.

2.  Aftab Shivdasani:  A little research tells me that he was the Farex baby when he was 14 months old. Later, he was cast as a child actor in Mr. India. As an adult, he did not taste much success and is now hardly seen on the silver screen.

3. Shahid Kapoor: Shahid Kapoor did not actually star in any film when he was a kid. He in fact arrived on the Bollywood scene as a background dancer for movies like “Taal.” Much much before that, it seems, he was very popular as the “Complan boy,” where Ayesha Takia was the Complan girl 🙂

  1. i felt bad for shweta when media went all frenzy about her recently. why cant we just respect one’s choice, its her life anyways! and at the same time bollywood is accepting sunny leone with open arms, shes being felicitated on every other reality show…… why? because she comes from a different country while we indian girls are supposed to follow some protocols? in my honest opinion not a single female willingly gets into the flesh trade and even if she does then its her personal choice.
