Cute as kids, superstars as adults

Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan is undoubtedly one of the best dancers in Bollywood. Not only this, he is also the inspiration of new brigade stars like Tiger Shroff who are in awe of his dancing. The ‘Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai’ actor delved deep into his childhood photo albums and shared a very special picture with the caption, “1982. MJ’s Thriller has just released. That’s an inspired 8 year old me doing nonsense, but to Mom and Dad, I was Jackson that night.” Well, with the actor growing up to be such a wonderful dancer, we are sure his parents are much more proud of him. While Pinky and Rakesh Roshan can be seen clapping for him, the little Hrithik’s serious dedication and love for dance can’t be missed in this rare picture.

Actress Esha Deol and hubby Bharat Takhtani had welcomed a beautiful baby girl in October and had named her Radhya. The actress today made her fans' day by sharing a super cute picture of herself and captioning it, “A glimpse of Radhya !!!” hinting at how the little one definitely bears a striking resemblance to Esha. Looking a bundle of joy in a checked frock and a beret, Esha was certainly a bunch of cuteness during her childhood. Meanwhile, her darling daughter Radhya is two-and-a-half months old now and we would love to catch a real glimpse of her soon.

Here's a look at some top actors who began their career at an early age.

Ayushmann Khurrana: The versatile Ayushmann Khurrana who shot to fame both as an actor and a singer in his debut movie, Vicky Donor recently posted this picture on his Twitter account.

Sharing this picture with his fans, Ayushmann agrees that it is indeed embarrassing for him to share the picture. He writes, "This is embarrassing. Mom wanted a daughter. RT @suryaAKAsuri Best part of #CrackingTheCode :-P @ayushmannk @tahira_k " [sic]

In fact, her first film as a child actor was at the age of four in the Tamil movie Thunaivan and her performance in Poombatta won her the Kerala State Film Award for Best Child Artist. As a child artist, Sridevi also starred in films like Kandan Karunai, Nam Naadu, Prarthanai, Babu, Vasantha Maaligai.

Aamir, who has given hits like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, Lagaan and 3 Idiots to name a few, has even taken Bollywood to the Oscars. His fans and the entire industry look up to the great films that he has done so far. But before making the world notice his work in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Aamir first appeared as a child artist.

Hrithik played superstar Rajnikanth's son in his father's Bollywood film Bhagwaan Dada. The good looking actor impressed everyone with his performance in the film.
