Meet most successful child actor of 70s, often played young Amitabh Bachchan, quit acting after.., daughter is a Hollywood actress, now has an empire worth Rs.., he is…
Meet most successful child actor of 70s, often played young Amitabh Bachchan, quit acting after.., daughter is a Hollywood actress, now has an empire worth Rs.., he is... In the glitzy and glamorous world of cinema, many stars come and go, but there are a few actors who make it big on the silver screen and leave a mark. However, some actors start as child artists but end up in a different direction altogether. One such similar tale is of an actor who made his debut as a child artist only to take a completely different path in life. He made his debut with the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan. Who is Alankar Joshi? The actor that we are talking about is none other than Alankar Joshi, fondly remembered as Master Alankar. This boy brought young Amitabh Bachchan's character to life in several iconic Hindi films. His journey from the glittering world of Bollywood to building a Rs 200 crore IT empire in the United States is nothing short of remarkable. Alankar ventured into the world of acting quite early on. He was one of the most famous and celebrated child actors in the 1970s, appearing in over a hundred films. His performances in classics like Deewaar (1975), Majboor (1974), and Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) made him a household name. In a recent interview, his sister Pallavi Joshi, speaking about his brother, said, 'For Deewar, my brother was called, and hum Yash ji se milne gaye the (we went to meet him). I had also tagged along; I have a blurry memory of it when we went to meet on the set. The shooting had already started, and Amit ji saw Dada and said, 'Arey, kaise ho?' Then, he told Yash Ji to give him my childhood version to play. Finally, Dada was cast in Deewar, and he played the younger Vijay,' she shared. He was most frequently cast as the younger version of Amitabh Bachchan. From his impeccable performance to his on-screen charm, Alankar won millions of hearts. But his breakthrough moment came with Deewaar when director Yash Chopra, on Amitabh Bachchan's suggestion, offered him the role of young Vijay. Known for his keen observation, he even picked up Bachchan's subtle mannerisms on set, impressing everyone with his attention to detail. Alankar's Business Empire But like many child stars, Alankar's transition to adult roles wasn't easy. Despite being a well-versed actor as a kid, he soon realised that the magic he enjoyed as a child star might not translate into a sustainable adult career. He briefly tried direction and production and found success as a Marathi filmmaker. Alankar was not keen on working behind the camera. Later, he focused on his education and earning qualifications that led him to a job in a software company. Eventually, he shifted to software programming, moving to the US, where he worked for two years. The turning point came when he started his own company with a friend in America. Over the next 35 years, he built a thriving IT business, with a net worth reportedly touching Rs 200 crore. Today, Alankar lives in the US with his wife and three children: twin daughters and a son. His journey is an example of reinvention and redirection, showing how new dreams can be built even in a different field altogether.

Shoojit Sircar defends National Film Awards jury amid controversy over Shah Rukh Khan and The Kerala Story wins: ‘You can't question what…'
After the National Film Award winners were announced recently, many people expressed disappointment over Shah Rukh Khan winning the Best Actor award and The Kerala Story bagging the Best Film award. In a recent interview, Shoojit Sircar defended the National Film Awards jury, stating that it's the panel's call. During a conversation with Hindustan Times, Sircar stated, 'I feel that there is no point debating this from the outside. You leave it to the jury. We might agree to disagree on many things, but finally, what matters is, who is the jury there. Because that jury is going to be your final word, and you leave it to their sensibility. You can't question what award they have given. I think we would rather question that before they start. Who is the jury? What are their sensibilities?' Shoojit Sircar is also a part of the jury of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), for the second consecutive year. He is responsible for choosing the Best Short Films at the festival. Ahead of IFFM 2025, Shoojit spoke about the experience of judging and said, 'IFFM is very dear to me. The organisers are dear friends and this particular festival is almost like a family affair. This is my fifth or sixth visit there. I normally don't participate in juries. But for this, I made an exception,' he said.

Urvashi slams National Film Awards jury: 'Not pension money' However, the director mentioned that judging cinema is 'very difficult'. 'Before we start, we tell everyone that there are certain elements that they should take into consideration. There are technical aspects that allow you to genuinely assess the craft. Then, you should celebrate the film that really makes a difference. And then, the voice and vision of the director are very important. You look at films that bring a lot of social change and have a long-lasting impact. Of course, there are technicalities to look into it, in terms of cinematography, editing, direction, actors, everything,' Shoojit explained. 'When Sardar Udham's panorama selection (for the 2021 International Film Festival of India) didn't happen, I was asked the same things. I will say what I said then: 'Whatever the jury has decided, I have to accept it',' he concluded.

Foreigner cracks ‘Hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme, fans say ‘conspiracy confirmed' over KKR connection
The 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme has become a social media sensation, grabbing the interest of fans everywhere. Recently, a foreign fan decoded the meme and revealed a surprising connection to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) cricket team. This discovery has ignited a buzz among fans, who are now speculating about a possible hidden conspiracy fueling the meme's widespread popularity. Take a look at what the international creator decoded. Foreigner cracks 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan' meme While the origin of the Hakla Shah Rukh Khan meme is quite different from what this creator has decoded, it has definitely triggered laughs from viewers. In a video shared online, we saw how the creator searched for 'KKR owner' on the internet, and SRK's name and face appeared. This led him to Google the map of West Bengal, and he noticed that the map's shape was similar to the structure of the Hakla SRK meme. Silly, right? Well, it is, and it got a lot of laughs too. Check out the video here: Okay that's why ☺️ Will you be fined for sharing 'Hakla Shah Rukh Khan meme'? A page called aaandtv originally shared the viral claim in a satirical post, humorously warning that users could face fines or jail time for posting the 'Hakla' meme. The caption clearly stated: 'Rs 3 lakh fine and 2 years jail for using 'Hakla' GIF or any other distorted GIF of celebrities on social media platforms. New law made by the government. This is NOT real news. This post is completely satire. This post is meant for entertainment purposes only. If you are mentioned above and want it taken down, contact me.' Despite this clear disclaimer, many social media users took the post literally and began resharing it without context, causing confusion and leading others to believe the claim was true when it was not.
