Aditya Narayan

This actor made his screen debut in the 90s, where he starred in movies such as “When One Falls in Love” and “Pardes.” In 2010, he made his lead debut in the film “Shaapit.” But Aditya achieved his greatest success as a singer, composing music and soundtracks for movies.

Kamal Hasan

Kamal Hasan first appeared in front of the camera at the age of 8 in the Tamil film “Kalathur Kannamma” in 1959 . Even back then, he showed glimpses of his talent by winning an award for his acting prowess. As a child, he starred in 6 films, and years later, was recognized as one of the best actors in Indian cinema.

Sridevi

Sridevi started her career with the Tamil film “Thunaivan” when she was only four years old. As a child, this legend starred in many films, including the 1975 hit “Julie.” After that role, she was getting more offers than she could have ever imagined. Thanks to her cute appearance and supreme acting skills, she has established herself as one of the best actresses of all time.

Hrithik Roshan

As a child, Hrithik Roshan played in the “Aap Ke Deewane” and “Bhagwan Dada.” Later, in 2000, he made his debut as the lead actor in his father’s movie “Kaho Naa Pyar Hai.” And the rest is history.

Did you know that the now-famous actor and director, Jugal Hansraj, played the little son of Shabana Azmi and Nasiruddin Shah in the cult film “Masoom” (1983)?. He was also the one who directed and produced the kids’ movie “Romeo from the Roadside.”

Urmila Matondkar

Sanjay Dutt

Sanjay Dutt made his film debut in a child role in “Reshma and Shera” (1972) when he was only 13 years young.

The actor was serving a prison sentence, periodically receiving leave to shoot more movies. Just for the record, he’s currently got 12 projects slated for release in 2021 . Such a busy man!

Alia Bhatt

The cute little kid from “Sangharsh” (1999) was none other than the Bollywood goddess Alia Bhatt. It took her another thirteen years to make a proper debut in the movie “Student of the Year” (2012). Since that day, she’s shown no signs of stopping and is going to star in not two, not three, but four movies this year!
