Now this is a first! Debutant Darsheel Safary gets nominated for the Filmfare Awards. Nothing peculiar in that. But this child actor has created history in Bollywood by getting a nomination in "The Best Actor In A Leading Role". Most people expected Darsheel to get nominated in "The Best Actor In A Supporting Role" or in "The Best Child Actor" categories.

Nine year old Darsheel is the first child actor to ever get nominated in the best actor category. This little powerhouse of talent will compete with the biggies like Akshay Kumar, King Khan, Junior Bachchan and Shahid Kapur. "I have no reactions. He has stepped into the heart of the nation and that is the biggest award anybody would want," says Amol Gupte, creative head of Taare Zameen Par.
