‘Kids today are smarter’

Lavina Tandon came into the industry as a cute, young child actor who was loved by the audience and was seen in multiple shows. After more than 15 years in the field, she still has an impact on the audiences! Her fans have literally seen her grow old on TV. She started with a fantasy show and is back with another one named Nikki Aur Jadui Bubble, where she plays an evil witch.Talking about the difference she sees in child actors then and now, she says, “I don’t think we were as smart as the kids are today.”

Lavina, who has more than 10 kids on her show’s sets, adds, “You can ask these kids anything and they will have an answer ready for you. Also, as a child actor, I did not have any kind of distraction. I used to come on the sets, play for a while, sit with my mother or the assistant and keep going through my script. But these kids have social media right on the tip of their fingers. So, they are constantly scrolling, watching something or making reels even on the sets. I am shocked even while saying it! This is one of the biggest differences between child actors then and now. I feel life was much easier then.”
