Suddenly, young kids are becoming the target of reality shows. So while some of them search for the country’s best dramebaaz, others are changing their format around to incorporate the young ones into their programming. For example, Indian Idol has now returned as Indian Idol Junior.

The first auditions for the show were held at the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai where hundreds of young children arrived with their parents to grab their chance at fame and fortune.

While the event was hosted by Mandira Bedi, the celebrity judges – Shekhar Ravjiani, Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Dadlani – reportedly had a tough time judging the talented young children.
