Hari Puttar? [a son called Hari]? asks a journalist, referring to the famous child magician Harry Potter.
Not quite; but the famous child magician in India is Sanju, the star of a serial called Shakalaka Boom Boom.
He is Kinshuk Nitin Vaidya.
Kinshuk's mom looks after his business affairs- and also made sure his shooting for serials is after school.
Being a star is not easy. I get calls at odd hours saying I am your best friend, and I don’t even know the callers! says Kinshuk in an interview with The Hindustan Times newspaper.
Kinshuk is in Standard XII at a school in Mumbai. He may do his homework, and like his pizza like you and me; but his life is different from other kids'!

His hobbies- football [American soccer], cricket and chess.
