Twinkle, twinkle little star

This kid is not just any regular kid next door. The minute he takes off his fancy shades, the twinkle in his eyes gets hard to evade. Conspicuous starry eyes at the tender age of five, what dreams do those little eyes carry? There comes an innocent reply, "I want to be like Salman uncle!"

Like we said, Avyaan Jagota is unlike other boys and girls his age. The lad's dreams are what make him different. From skating tournaments to fashion shows and academics, this Kindergarten student of Mohali's Learning Paths School, has a lot up his sleeve.

Catwalk, cakewalk

Fame does not come easy, and Avyaan Jagota's mother Samriti Walia has ingrained that in her starry-eyed child, early on in life. Perhaps that is why, as Avyaan busies himself in proudly adorning his home's shelves with numerous winning titles such as India's Kids Model and Super Model India, he balances it by earning  accolades in the realm of sports and academics, as well. 

"I have won as many as 21 medals for in-line skating, during various district and school-level skating tournaments. I wish to represent my country on an international platform," smiles the first runner-up of North India's next top model competition in the junior category.

Sallu fever

Having shouldered responsibilities as the sports captain for UKG in his school, Avyaan adores the style of Bollywood actor Salman Khan. 

"I am a diehard Salman Khan fan and wish to dance and act like my hero," grins the dreamy boy. Attaboy!
