15 Child Artists who Became Bollywood Stars!

While some say that to have talent you need to be born with it, we think it's absolutely true in the case of these celebs! From a 6-year-old Imran Khan to a 4-year-old Sridevi and even a 14-month old Aftab Shivdasani, they have all displayed their talent and professionalism right from the time they were toddlers. Here's a look at a list of celebs who began their acting careers as child actors.

Sridevi: While many celebrities have been in the industry for a long time, Sridevi has been acting since she was four! Her first movie was a Tamil film called Kandan Karunai after which she began acting in several regional and Bollywood movies.\

Imran Khan: When Imran Khan became a popular face with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, a picture of his cute butt from Mamu's Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar started making rounds on the web! He began his stint in Bollywood alongside Aamir Khan, and played the role of a young Aamir in the movies Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander.

Hrithik Roshan: Hrithik Roshan was only 6 when he faced the camera for the very first time! While his first experience in the film industry was as an extra in a dance sequence in the movie, Aasha, that same year he also played a minor role in Rakesh Roshan starrer, Aap ke Deewane. After acting in one more movie, he took the role of an assistant director with Karan Arjun and Koyla.

Rishi Kapoor: Rishi Kapoor was in his late teens when he played the role of a young Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker. We don't think anyone could have done more justice to the role. Three years later, he acted in Bobby and then there was no looking back for him!

Neetu Singh: Having acted in over 50 movies, Neetu Singh began her acting career when she was only 8! In 1966, she played a small role in the movie Suraj as a chubby little baby. While her third movie Do Kaliyaan won her recognition, it was Yaadon Ki Baraat which brought her fame.

Aamir Khan: Yaadon ki Baarat is undoubtedly a legendary movie in Bollywood! It was also Aamir Khan's first movie in Bollywood. He was only 7 when he played this role. Doesn't he look adorable?

Shahid Kapoor: Along with Ayesha Takia, he acted in the Complan ad as The Complan Boy! And well, who can forget his innocent little face in Aankho Me Tera Hi Chehra?!

Aftab Shivdasani: Even though he can hardly be called a celebrity these days, he has acted in some really well known movies as a kid. He was only 14-months old when he was selected as the face of Farex! After which he appeared in several TV commercials and popular movies like Mr. India, Shahenshah, ChaalBaaz, and Insaniyat.

Urmila Matondkar: The Rangeela girl was only 6 when she began her journey in Bollywood. She played her first role as a child artist in this Shashi Kapoor and Rekha starrer movie, Kalyug. Later at the age of 9 she won recognition with her role in Masoom.

Shashi Kapoor: Having been born to the filmy Kapoor khandaan, he was only seven when he acted in a movie called Tadbir. He won recognition in the movies Aag and Aawara where he played the younger version of his brother Raj Kapoor.

Sanjay Dutt: Bollywood's most-loved con, Sanjay Munna Bhai Dutt, was 11 when he made his first appearance in a film. Even though it was a brief role, he played the role of a qawali singer in the movie Reshma Aur Shera, which had his father, Sunil Dutt, in lead role.

Ayesha Takia: There's hardly anyone in Bollywood who doesn't know about Ayesha Takia, The Complan Girl! Along with Shahid Kapoor, she had endorsed the brand when she was in her early teens. She even played the lead role in Falguni Pathak's music video Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye.

Kunal Khemu: Even though his success graph in Bollywood is hardly a commendable one, he was one of the youngest actors in the industry during the 80s. While his roles in Raja Hindustani and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke are particularly famous, he has also acted in a few other movies as a child actor.

Bobby Deol: Bobby Deol is yet another celeb kid who entered the film industry as a child. He was only ten years old when he played a young Dharmendra in the movie Dharam Veer.

Jugal Hansraj: He will always be the Masoom child for every 80s Bollywood fan. He was 11-years-old when he was chosen to play this role.
