20 Bollywood Child Actors Who Are Now No Longer Acting

Every industry, every field is fickle. It is hard to get a job, harder to impress your boss and hardest to stay good at your job. Even in Bollywood, people already find it hard to get a film or daily soap where they can act, but then it is even harder to do it well and hardest to find more work. Especially for the child actors, who appear in a film or a serial, are loved to bits by the audience, but then are lost into the oblivion as the casting directors always want newer faces, or the child actors need to focus more on their studies. So they move away from the camera’s glare and then are lost forever, unless they get another chance on the screen after they grow up into adults. This is a list of 20 actors who had once been in our hearts and screens, but are now lost, and nowhere to be seen.
