When 'Kuch Na Kaho' was released in 2003, all eyes were on Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Yet, it was a little boy who stole hearts—Parth Dave. Playing Aditya, the son of Aishwarya’s character Namrata and Arbaaz Khan’s Sanjeev, his innocent charm made the father-son bond one of the film’s most memorable highlights.
A busy childhood in Bollywood
Parth wasn’t just a one-film wonder. During the 2000s, he appeared in several big-ticket films, including 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi,' 'Jodhaa Akbar,' 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne,' 'Blackmail,' 'Kidnap,' and Salman Khan’s 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.'From comedy capers to grand period dramas, Parth often played the childhood versions of major stars or key family roles. For a time, he was among the most recognized child actors in Bollywood.

Life away from the spotlight
Now 30, Parth has stepped away from acting and built a life outside films. In November 2024, he tied the knot in a royal-style wedding in Udaipur, Rajasthan. His Instagram—followed by more than 6,000 fans—is filled with glimpses of his haldi, mehendi, and sangeet celebrations. Earlier, he was even spotted at cricketer Hardik Pandya’s grand wedding festivities, hinting at his continued ties with high-profile circles.

Why did he quit films?
Parth has never publicly explained why he left acting. But like many child stars, the transition to adult roles can be challenging.
His decision to focus on personal life rather than chase uncertain stardom seems to have been a conscious choice.
A familiar Bollywood story
Parth Dave’s journey is similar to many child actors in Hindi cinema. While some, like Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan, became icons, others quietly moved on to different lives. Once a beloved child star, Parth now seems content with a private world away from the cameras.
