You loved them then, and you'll love them even more now. Bollywood's child stars have grown up a lot since we last saw them sharing the screen with superstars ranging from Salman Khan to Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and more. Be it, Siddharth Nigam, from 'Dhoom 3' or Ahsaas Channa from 'Phoonk' we take a look at the jaw-dropping transformations of Bollywood's biggest child-stars.

Who would have thought that Anuj Pandit Sharma the cute Sardar kid, who played one of Hrithik Roshan’s best buddies in ‘Koi… Mil Gaya’ would grow up to look like a total hunk? This young man has left his baby face far behind and is sure to make any young lady go weak in the knees.

Ahsaas Channa may have given you nightmares with her performance in 'Phoonk', but now, she is the stuff of daydreams. The starlet who first won hearts acting like a boy in films like 'Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehna' and 'VastuShashtra' has grown up into a fine lady with stunning features we wouldn't mind seeing on the big screen more often.

Siddharth Nigam, it seems, worked the biggest magic trick on all his fans when photos of his transformation went viral. The hazel-eyed lad who played young Sahir Khan and Samar Khan (Aamir Khan's younger self in ‘Dhoom 3’) is now a hunky teen with a chiselled body to die for. We sure are mighty impressed and can't wait to see him back on the big screen with his hunky and ripped new physique.
