Though most of the time, their role as a child was an integral part of the narrative and required them to remain a child for the full length of the movie like Boot Polish, Brahmachari, Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke, Andaz, Bajrangi Bhaijan, etc., many a time they got the opportunity to play the childhood role of big stars and their role was restricted to only the early part of the film like Master Alankar in Deewar, Master Mayur in Muqaddar ka Sikander, Baby Farida in Sangam, Bobby in Amar Prem, etc. In their hey-days, some of them were almost at par with the senior artistes as far as their talent and popularity were concerned eg., Junior Mehmood, Daisy Irani, Honey Irani, Master Sachin, Baby Tabassum, Baby Naaz, etc. ![]() Our film industry boasts of scores of child artistes who have entertained us with their stunning performances. ![]()
