Children's Day special: 10 adorable photos of celebrities as babies

Embracing the inner child on Children’s Day

Children’s Day is here, and there’s no better time to take a trip down memory lane – starting with our favorite celebrities’ baby photos. While we usually see these stars in the spotlight, juggling their careers and lives in the public eye, it’s fun to remember that they too were once wide-eyed children full of dreams. We often lose touch with our inner child as adults, bogged down by responsibilities, but a glimpse of these baby photos can remind us all to embrace that part of ourselves.

Let’s start with a few adorable throwbacks. Who can forget that viral baby photo of Kendall Jenner in her tiny, frilly dress, grinning at the camera? Or Sheikha Mahra, as a curious toddler with bright eyes, long before he became the poised Princess? Seeing Alia Bhatt as a bubbly little girl with her infectious smile or Karen Wazen daydreaming with those big eyes, brings us right back to that innocence and wonder of childhood.

These photos remind us that before their red carpet moments, all celebrities were just little kids figuring out the world. It’s a comforting thought. Growing up, we tend to suppress that part of ourselves in the name of maturity. The pressures of adult life—work, bills, responsibilities—often make it hard to indulge our inner child. But sometimes, reconnecting with that playful side is exactly what we need.

Children’s Day is a great reminder to tap into that childlike spirit. Studies have shown that keeping a bit of our inner child alive helps reduce stress, boosts creativity, and even increases resilience. Those carefree moments of laughter, curiosity, and imagination can re-energize us in ways we may not expect. So, let’s take a cue from these celebrities and remember to nurture that playful side.

It’s always fun to see stars share a slice of their childhood. In a world where we see polished, curated images on social media, there’s something endearing about seeing them as babies with untamed curls, chubby cheeks, and wide smiles. So, this Children’s Day, take a moment to look at your own childhood photos, laugh at those early memories, and let your inner child shine a little brighter. Whether you’re daydreaming, dancing in your living room, or simply playing, remember: the inner child never really leaves – they’re just waiting for you to have a little fun
