From Masoom, Hero No. 1, Child Artist to Bollywood Hero at 38
There are many child actors in Lewood who have created a distinct identity for themselves from Bollywood films. And some of these child actors are still stars in Bollywood. Often, looking at them, you don’t even guess that they are child actors.
There is one such child actor who has worked with two Khans.
He stepped into Bollywood as a child actor
He stepped into Bollywood as a child actor. Even today, he is a popular actor in Bollywood. Now, looking at him, no one will be able to recognize that this is the same child actor who worked in Govinda’s Hero No. 1 and Masoon.
Who is this actor?
This actor is Omkar Kapoor. Whose childhood was spent in the glamour and stars of films, but when he grew up, he could not get the stardom he once saw. Let’s find out where he is now and what he is doing.
He worked in 13 films as a child artist
In the 90s, Omkar Kapoor entered the film industry as a child artist. He worked in 13 films as a child artist. His first film was ‘Masoom’ in 1996. After that, he worked in many big films one after the other, including Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Chahat’, Salman Khan‘s ‘Judwaa’, Govinda’s ‘Hero No. 1’, Anil Kapoor‘s ‘Judai’, Aamir Khan‘s ‘Mela’ and Akshay Kumar’s ‘International Khiladi’. In the film ‘Chahat’, he played the role of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Vicky, while in ‘Judwaa’ he played the role of Salman Khan’s childhood. At that time, Omkar’s innocence and acting skills were highly appreciated.
Jadu was not working as a hero.
He had created a special identity for himself as a child artist. But now Omkar Kapoor has not had many films, but he is definitely a popular actor. In 2015, he made his debut as a lead actor in Luv Ranjan’s ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’, where he appeared in the role of Kartik Aaryan’s friend.
