Every once in a while, cinema surprises us by uncovering a gem so pure that it feels less like acting and more like life unfolding on screen. That’s exactly what Treesha Thosar brings, a four-year-old with a smile that lights up frames that makes even seasoned actors pause. Known for her natural ease in front of the camera, Treesha is already redefining what it means to be a child actor in Indian cinema. 

The Marathi Cinema Breakthrough: “Naal 2”

Treesha’s magic truly blossomed in Naal 2, a Marathi film directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti and produced by Nagraj Manjule. As Chimi, she portrayed innocence, curiosity, and warmth in a way that tugged at audiences’ hearts. The film, centered on themes of childhood bonds and rural life, relied heavily on authenticity and Treesha delivered with astonishing maturity. 

It wasn’t just acting, it was as if she embodied the spirit of every curious, tender-hearted child in India’s villages. No wonder her performance shone so brightly among hundreds of entries from across the country.

Making History at the National Awards

On September 23, 2025, Treesha’s name was etched into cinematic history as she became the youngest ever recipient of the Best Child Artist award at the 71st National Film Awards. Dressed in a traditional white saree and walking onto the stage with folded hands, she received the award from President Droupadi Murmu amidst thunderous applause that rivaled cheers for Bollywood’s biggest stars. 

That moment wasn’t just a personal victory, it was a celebration of talent that knows no age, of storytelling that speaks across generations, and of Marathi cinema stepping proudly onto the national stage.

A Future Full of Possibilities

What makes Treesha even more special is that her journey has only just begun. At an age when most children are still mastering nursery rhymes, she has already won India’s highest recognition for child artistry. The curiosity now lies in watching how she will grow, will she continue enchanting us with performances, or surprise us by exploring new creative horizons altogether? 

For now, her playful social media glimpses, candid interviews about ice cream and dancing with her dog, and her boundless innocence keep fans charmed. Treesha Thosar is more than just a child actress, she is a promise of the future, a reminder that sometimes the smallest voices can tell the biggest stories.
