Hailing from Tamil Nadu, this star kid has made a name for herself in both Tamil and Hindi cinema, earning her the distinction of being India's wealthiest child actor, a title she will soon relinquish upon turning 18.

This young actress continued to shine in big-budget productions alongside superstars, gracing films such as Salman Khan's Jai Ho, Emraan Hashmi's Ek Thi Daayan, and Aishwarya Rai's Jazbaa.
