Do you think that Bollywood doesn't have enough child actors? Who are your favourite child actors? Would you predict that they would be the stars of tomorrow?

Are there any laws regarding children who work in films? I have heard that in Hollywood, a child can only shoot for a certain number of hours each day. That is why many times they use identical twins to play one role. I am not aware if Bollywood follows the same rule.

In these examples, the children only did one or two acting roles while they were children. So I do not think it is appropriate to call them child stars. I think this article should have focused on children who had much more acting experience.

I agree with this comment. This article should have been about ´ real´ child stars, who went on to become famous later on.

Bollywood is not the only film industry where child actors have transformed into future superstars. Other film industries follow this tradition as well. However, in this case, one might argue that most of these child stars only got their break because they were children of famous film personalities as well.

Totally Agree
I completely agree with you Kamal, after all, celebrities in our country and even abroad I guess, are literally idolized but billions of people both young and old and how they and their family conducts themselves in front of the public sets an example for everyone to follow. And well behaved celebrity kids are a real treat! it goes to show how balanced our favourite celebr... - Preeta [View Message]
I´ m not so sure
Yaar, I think celebrities are also like people only, who are we to judge anyone? How can we say that celebrities help set examples, I believe that if we look up to our celebrities to set examples for us and our parenting skills then we have it all wrong. As gossip or interesting news, yes I would love to know that the Bachans took their new grandchild for a picnic in the p... - Bhushan [View Message]
Best Celebrity Moms
Has anyone ever taken a look at who the best Bollywood moms are? I would give my vote to Malaika Arora, I think she' s hot, she' s gorgeous, and not just that, she is a total family woman. I think she plays an important role in their son Arhaan' s life and she balances work and family really well. ... - Tina [View Message]
Dream Girl for me
Hema Mailini takes the cake for me all the way! I think they way she has brought of Esha and Ahana as such graceful young women, it really needs to be applauded. Hema Malini as a mom has been known to share a great bond with Esha and Ahana and kept them both safe from too much of the celebrity fluff. ... - Shrey [View Message]
Old is gold
Forget all the newbies. To me, Jaya Bachchan is by far the best celebrity mom Bollywood has even seen. I really feel like the way she has raised both her kids is the best way and I really look up to her as a mom. Abhishek and Shweta are both positive and bright young adults today because of her.... - Tanushree [View Message]
Celebrity Kids and Movies?
Do you think it' s fair for celebrities to have their kids follow their footsteps into films? I think it' s pretty unfair for the child more than anything else. if the celebrity parent has had a successful career the child is under that much more pressure to perform alike if not better. And i am sure that can' t have a very good psychological impact on the child?... - Mitali [View Message]
Whatever works
Of course, being a famous personality' s child, in the same field as the parent makes it all the more scary, and I am sure there are some psychological battles to overcome, but it' s not too much of a bad thing. Ultimately if the profession is the kids choice, he/she will have face the trials of their choices. ... - Roy [View Message]
