Where Is Master Ravi, the Boy Who Played Young Amitabh Bachchan, Now? Here’s a Look at Ravi Valecha’s Life After Bollywood
When Amitabh Bachchan was at the peak of his career, a child artist became very popular. He played the role of Big B’s childhood in Shakti, Coolie, Amar Akbar Anthony and Mr. Natwarlal. People used to lovingly call him Chota Amitabh, but things changed in such a way that he was forced to leave Bollywood. He is a big businessman today. Did you recognise him?
Who played young Amitabh Bachchan in most of the movies?
If you have seen Amitabh Bachchan’s popular films Amar Akbar Anthony and Coolie, then you must remember the little actor who played the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s young avatar. If you see him today, you will not be able to recognise him. We are talking about Master Ravi. His career also flourished along with Big B. He won a lot of accolades by playing the role of Big B’s young version in his films.
Who is Master Ravi?
Young Amitabh, also known as Master Ravi’s real name is Ravi Valecha. He worked actively in the 1970s and 1980s, and entered the world of acting at the age of four. In addition to Amitabh Bachchan, he shared the screen with legendary actors like Dilip Kumar and Rishi Kapoor. Master Ravi made his debut in 1976 with the film Fakira, but it was the 1977 film Amar Akbar Anthony that brought him fame and took his career to new heights.
Master Ravi was in great demand at the peak of his career, especially in films starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. In his golden era, he also appeared in films like ‘Karz’, ‘Yaadon Ki Baaraat’, ‘Desh Premi’, to name a few.
Where is Master Ravi now?
After his initial success in Bollywood, Ravi Valecha changed his career path. In fact, after growing up, he didn’t receive the same recognition he had enjoyed as a child actor. According to News18, Master Ravi left acting and ventured into business. He completed Diploma in Hotel Management, and has a Dual Specialisation MBA (Hospitality and International Business). Today, Ravi is a prominent name in the hospitality industry. He now helps students with personality development and skill enhancement to prepare them for careers in hospitality.
