From Little Krishna to Young Star: Where Is Dhriti Bhatia, The Child Actress from ‘Jai Shri Krishna,’ 17 Years Later?

Happy Janmashtami to everyone! On this special day, we can’t help but remember the playful and divine life of Lord Krishna. And when we think of Krishna, it’s hard not to picture the adorable face of the little Krishna from Colors TV’s show ‘Jai Shri Krishna’, which aired in 2008.

That sweet little girl who played Krishna stole not just the show, but also every viewer’s heart. Her innocence and cuteness made thousands feel like sacrificing everything for her smile. For many fans, her face became the image of little Krishna, and people started putting up her photos in their worship rooms and even buying her calendars from shops.

What many might not remember is that this was the first time a girl ever portrayed Krishna on TV—a role traditionally played by boys. This young actress, with her angelic looks and natural acting, convinced everyone she was the mischievous Kanha himself. That child’s name is Dhriti Bhatia.

Back then, Dhriti was just three years old when she played the role of Krishna. She was so young that she couldn’t even speak her own dialogues; her lines were dubbed by someone else. It was a logistical challenge for the show’s makers, but the magic of ‘Krishna Leela’ worked wonders—a three-year-old managed to carry the entire serial without saying a single dialogue!

After ‘Jai Shri Krishna’, Dhriti appeared briefly in a few shows but soon disappeared from the limelight. Now, 17 years later, Dhriti has surprised everyone by reappearing, especially on the occasion of Janmashtami. She is 20 years old now, and even today, her face carries that same innocence which once made the nation fall in love with her.

Dhriti is currently focusing on her studies, but is also looking to return to the film industry. Until a few years ago, she was quite active on social media, but then chose to step away from online platforms for a while. Dhriti is the daughter of famous choreographer Poonam Bhatia and businessman Gagan Bhatia.

Seeing Dhriti Bhatia after all these years is sure to make her fans smile. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors and hope Lord Krishna continues to bless her journey.
