Let's find out!

Sachet Seth On Taare Zameen Par
Sachet Seth stated that landing Taare Zameen Par was really a lucky coincidence in a 2022 interview with Bollywood Hungama.
"I am from a film family. My grandmother, Krishna Kumari Seth, was an actress while my grandfather, Suraj Prakash, was a producer. So I was always surrounded by the world of films, though I didn’t plan to get into the field. The makers were originally auditioning my younger brother. I just happened to be there and they asked me, 'Why don’t you also audition?' I did, and a month later, I got a call. I was 11 at that time," he shared.
Sachet Seth became instantly recognisable due to the film's enormous success. However, ge rejected all of the subsequent film offers. "People started recognising me on the streets. I would just smile. I’ve grown quite a bit, but still people are able to guess. Or they feel they’ve seen me somewhere. I did a couple of commercials later on. I got a few film offers but didn’t take them up because I wanted to pursue my education before I got sidetracked."
