Which Child Artistes made it big in B Town?

Many of the present B-Town actors were child artistes once upon a time. While there were many child artists who captivated the audiences with their cute looks and the commanding screen presence they had at such a young age, not many made it big as adults. Let’s take a look at some of the actors who started off as child artistes and made it big later.

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan, who was first seen on screen in 1973 in the film Yaadon Ki Baarat is now one of the finest actors of the Indian cinema. Also a film-maker, his first production Lagaan was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan, as a child artist, acted in films like Aap Ke Deewane and Bhagwan Dada. He later made his debut as a lead actor in the year 2000 with Rakesh Roshan’s Kaho Na Pyaar Hai. The rest, as they say, is history.
