Bollywood Child Artist Directory

FB, , , ,

My useless skill of identifying filmi kids turned into a mini project of creating a Bollywood child artist directory. This is no way a complete list of all the Masters and Babies that appeared on the Hindi film screen but I have tried to cover as many of them between the 1950s to the early 2000s.

The second part in the series can be viewed here.
