Master and Baby

On the child actors of Bollywood

Description

Step into the extraordinary lives of India's forgotten stars – the child actors. Master and Baby unveils the captivating tales of success and struggle that define their journey from innocence to stardom. Sharad Goyekar, catapulted from rural Shirur to national fame, faced the dark abyss of addiction. Daisy Irani, the 60s child sensation, bravely shared her haunting past. Khushbu, the Tamil cinema powerhouse, battled an abusive upbringing. These are just the beginning.
In a world where success waltzes with shadows, child actors navigate a precarious path. From the bliss of sets to the horrors of exploitation, their stories range from ecstasy to betrayal. Some embraced stardom willingly; others were thrust into it by ambitious parents. As we dive into their stories, we question the very essence of being a child actor. Does it pave the way for a brighter future, or lay the foundations of an unstable past? Master and Baby is a pioneering chronicle, combining riveting accounts with insightful analysis, shedding light on a neglected facet of Bollywood's legacy.
