In a moment that lit up the halls of Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi, six-year-old Trisha Thosar etched her name into Indian cinema history. At the 71st National Film Awards 2023, Trisha was honoured with the Best Child Artist Award for her unforgettable performance in the acclaimed Marathi film “Naal 2”.
Her portrayal — tender, expressive, and astonishingly nuanced for someone her age — moved audiences across the country. Critics praised her for bringing rare emotional depth to the screen, capturing innocence and intensity with effortless grace.
As Trisha walked onto the stage to receive her award from President Droupadi Murmu, the entire auditorium erupted in applause. It was a defining moment not just for the young prodigy and her family, but for Marathi cinema, which continues to nurture some of the nation’s finest talent.
Trisha, glowing with pride, expressed her joy after receiving the honour. For a child who is only at the beginning of her journey, this recognition stands as a powerful testament to her natural artistry and dedication.
Her achievement is now being celebrated across India, inspiring countless young children who dream of acting. At an age when most children are just beginning school, Trisha Thosar has already taken her first steps onto the national stage — and the future of Indian cinema seems brighter because of it.
