Hera Pheri's Rinku

Moviegoers are undeniably fond of the three iconic characters of Raju, Ghanshyam aka Shyam and Baburao Ganpatrao Apte aka Babu Bhaiya, from the Hera Pheri franchise. Well, the first instalment of the cult comedy franchise had several other notable characters including Kabira, Khadak Singh, Devi Prasad and more. Well, do you remember the cute little girl Rinku, whom Kabira aka Gulshan Grover kidnapped?

Notably, child actor Ann Alexia Anra played the role of Rinku. Now, the girl is all grown up and looks unrecognisable.

Ann's Early Life

Ann Alexia Anra was born and raised in Chennai. She began her acting career at a very young age. Not just Hera Pheri, as a child artist she has been a part of several notable films across Bollywood and Kollywood.

However, despite her early success, Ann Alexia Anra featured in only four films- Avvai, Shanmugi, Hera Pheri, Thaayin Manikodi and Hathyara. Later, she quit acting.

Earlier, revealing the reason, she stated that her parents supported her work in commercials but were hesitant about working in films due to the required time commitment. They allowed to work her in Hera Pheri as it was filmed during summer vacation. Well, after that they decided to step away from acting, a decision she still respects.
