/> Rahul Pendkalkar waves cheerily as he walks into Candies at Bandra for his first ever interview which he is going to give to the media.

Like any normal seven year old, he shakes hands nicely and sits down. He is accompanied by his mother and sister who sit along side him.

The neat black hair and dark brown eyes are just as you'd expect after seeing him on screen; he's in a short sleeved maroon shirt and beige shorts, with brown lace ups, neatly knotted. A kid next door. Any door. Almost.

But the thing that sets Rahul apart is his experience in talking grown up stuff with journalists. The answers are eloquent, not too smart or precocious, well considered and very short.

For example, when we asked after seeing his cute little picture with Jiah Khan on what was the interaction like with the actress, he said, "Jiah Khan was so good. She let me sit on her lap and loved me lots." Now that's what we like about the cute boy.

Coming from a lower middle class family, Rahul was interested in acting ever since he saw his father, Praveen, interested in the same profession. But being an advocate, he could not continue his passion.

Then came Ghajini, Rahul's first film along side Aamir Khan, Jiah Khan and Asin where he was seen in the last cake cutting scene of the film.

Now that you know Rahul Pendkalkar was in love at first sight with Jiah Khan, what you didn't know was the fact that the original dialogue of Rahul during the final scene was suppose to be recited by another child.

But as Aamir Khan saw Rahul repeat the lines which the other child could not grasp pretty well, the actor recommended the cute boy to A.R. Murgadoss who then made Rahul say his first ever dialogue in a Hindi film.

After the pack up, Aamir walked up to Rahul and said, "Tu bahut upar jaayega."

What followed after Ghajini were two big films which Rahul bagged. One of them was the Ranbir Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma starrer Wake Up Sid produced by Karan Johar. The above picture was clicked at the YRF Studio while the shoot of Wake Up Sid was on.

Talking about the film, Rahul plays Sanju, Ranbir's neighbour and Ranbir plays the role of a professional photographer who makes a portfolio of his cute neighbour Sanju.

According to the kid, he got along very well with Ranbir and recalls his first time when he met the actor. "I was taking a nap when Ranbir came up to me and said 'Hi'. I don't know how he came to know my name but I was very impressed".

What impressed us was the fact that Rahul didn't give away much of the film. A pukka pro we should say! Karan, are you listening?
