Back in 2005 Ajay Devgn’s film Main Aisa Hi Hoon touched millions of hearts with its emotional storyline. The movie co-starring Esha Deol and Sushmita Sen became a huge hit for its powerful performances and heartfelt message. Ajay Devgn played Neel a man with the mental capacity of a seven-year-old while Esha played his partner. Together they raised their little daughter Gungun a role that melted every heart that watched the film.
The child artist who played Gungun was none other than Rucha Vaidya and her innocent cry of “Papa mere papa!” still brings tears to fans’ eyes.
Who is Rucha Vaidya?
Rucha Vaidya was only a child when she won hearts as Gungun in Main Aisa Hi Hoon. Born on March 27 1997 in Mumbai she went on to pursue her education in electronics and radio engineering. Despite her young age during her debut she impressed critics and audiences alike with her natural expressions and emotional depth.
