Long before Indian audiences were introduced to global cartoon favourites, 90s kids had their own iconic ‘made in India’ fantasy shows—Son Pari, Shararat, Shaka Laka Boom Boom and Karishma Kaa Karishma. Each had its own charm and loyal fan base, and the child actors from these shows remain cherished memories even today. One such star is Tanvi Hegde, best known for playing Fruity in Son Pari. Now 34, Tanvi has stepped away from acting for a while, choosing instead to travel, explore life beyond the spotlight, and enjoy the childhood she missed—complete with her own gaming corner.

If someone gave us something, only then could we celebrate—that was our reality.” A troubled childhood Vinod also spoke about the difficult environment at home, shaped by financial struggles and his father’s behaviour.“My mother worked as a domestic help, and my father was a mason. He didn’t get work every day, and when he didn’t, he would come home drunk. My childhood environment wasn’t good—he would abuse …
