In the context of child actors in movies and even in the well-remembered serials like Malgudi Days or Tenaliram, the involvement of the children was less with 13-episode or smaller length of serials.. but now, children are being forced by parents to work longer hours, many days at length and act anything but their age.

But i wonder where is starts from, The Movie halls allow the minors to watch stuff which they are not supposed to and over the above the parents don't fail from encouraging the same practices, Imagine a more than 20-30 families with infants in a movie hall watching a movie like RAAZ. The first step is to ignore and say NO to such sitcoms and dont allow minors to watch movies they are not supposed to. I will when i am there make efforts.
