We all had a ‘wait...what?!’ moment when the little Anjali from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) showed up in all her teenage glory in Student Of The Year (2012). And not just her, you’ll be surprised (and sad) to see how grown up these child actors from Bollywood of the 90s are now. Check them out!
Sana Saeed aka Anjali
Interestingly, Sana met her on-screen dad Shah Rukh Khan on an episode of a popular reality show Jhalak Dikhla Ja recently. This picture will make your hearts melt.
Malvika Raaj aka Poo
Remember the tongue twister Chandu Ke Chacha from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham that Laddu could never get right but Poo always did? Well Poo didn’t grow up to be Kareena for real but she’s pretty damn close!
Malvika Raaj is now doing commercials as a gorgeous grown up! Would you have ever recognised her had we not told ya!?
Kavish Majmudar aka Laddu
Kavish Majmudar still has some chubby cheeks left over from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001).
Here’s the Chandu Ke Chacha Ne scene if your memory needs a jog-
Ayesha Kapur aka Michelle McNally
Ayesha Kapur was just about 11 when she played the young Rani Mukerji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black (2005). We bet acting opposite Big B would have been quite a challenge but she did a fab job!
She played the role of a blind girl with such conviction. And her performance as a grown up in Sikander (2009) with co-star Parzan Dastur was also commendable.
Jibraan Khan aka Krish
The adorable scene from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) in which the little Krish attempts to sing the National Anthem bringing his mum Kajol to tears made you tear up too, didn’t it? Jibraan Khan is not that cute kid anymore but a suave contemporary dancer at Shiamak Davar’s institute.
