Children's Day: Amandeep Sidhu, Naveen Pandit and other celebs recount their joyful moments with child artists on set

Children’s Day is a special occasion to celebrate the life, joy, and innocence of the little ones, and young artists truly bring this spirit to the set. Their laughter and playfulness make every day brighter, creating a happy, lively environment. Their naughtiness and innocence keep the set bustling with joy and laughter.

Artists Naveen Pandita, Mansi Sharma, and Amandeep Sidhu share some fun memories of how it feels to have these little dynamites on the set. Naveen Pandita who portrays the character of Ashwin Patel in Pushpa Impossible said, “Kids are so pure and unfiltered, working with them is always a lot of fun, Deshna, who plays Rashi on the show, feels like my younger sister, and Vrihi, who plays my daughter Swara, is such a cheerful kid. The audience already knows how talented she is, but beyond acting, both bring so much joy to the set. They brighten up everyone’s day.”

Mansi Sharma, who portrays the character of Shilpa Khanna in Badall Pe Paon Hai, said, “I absolutely love kids, and becoming a mother has deepened that feeling. When I’m shooting with kids, especially on the sets of Badall Pe Paon Hai, I feel like I’m with my own child. Minti, for example, feels like she’s my own kid, the bond is such. I think any actor who is a mother feels this bond with kids on set as it brings out a natural care and attachment. And having kids around adds so much positivity and liveliness on the set. We’re more relaxed and less reactive because their presence just lifts the atmosphere. It’s truly a wonderful experience.”

Amandeep Sidhu, who portrays the character of Baani Arora in Badall Pe Paon Hai, said, “In most of the shows I’ve done, there have been little kids on set, and they’re like bundles of joy. Being around them lets you be playful and carefree—it really helps you forget any stress. Today, while shooting Badall Pe Paon Hai, I was with Rinku and Minti, and Mansi and I couldn’t help but tease them a little. Rinku’s an amazing dancer, so we keep encouraging him to show some moves during breaks, and Minti is just adorable. Having kids on set makes everything so much more fun, bringing a light and happy energy to the atmosphere.”
