Child stars are ruling television TRPs these days, it seems. After Avika Gor, whose Balika Vadu is one of the most popular soaps on telly, we have Sparsh Khandchandani, the eight-year-old star of Uttaran on Colors.
Acting, however is not Sparsh's dream. The standard 3 student of Kendriya Vidyalaya School, Ulhasnagar, on the outskirts of Mumbai, wants to become an IAS officer. But that doesn't stop her from enjoying the attention showered on her from friends and teachers.
Sparsh was earlier seen in Sahara One's Mera Sasural, a music video with Preeti Sagar, an Indian Oil documentary and in a film Red Alert. Her father is in the defence services and mother is a teacher.
"Sparsh is a natural actor, nobody in the family is an actor," her mother Sarita tells us. "She was always interested in acting and would get prizes in extra curricular activities as well. When friends and well-wishers suggested that she should try acting, we tried our luck."
Uttaran centers around a an underprivileged child, who wishes to change her fate and live happily with her mother, a maid in a rich household.
Sparsh gives Rajul Hegde more details.
