Who Is Treesha Thosar?
Treesha Thosar is a Marathi child actress who’s making both fans and film insiders sit up and take notice—partly thanks to her unforgettable smile and even more thanks to her real talent. She balances movie shoots, web series, commercials, and, presumably, snack time with the energy that only a four-year-old can bring. Stories online often mention her mother managing her Instagram—slightly heartwarming, slightly hilarious, especially considering how professional some of her content appears.
Her journey began with appearances in films like “Naal 2,” which, if you’ve seen it, you’d know is packed with raw emotional beats and childhood innocence. She has worked with big names—yes, Mahesh Manjrekar and Siddharth Jadhav—and even popped up in episodic TV (if you blinked during Pet Puraan, you may have missed her, but critics didn’t). Treesha’s not just riding on cuteness; she has a knack for tapping into “that” emotional moment that makes adults in the cinema start rooting around for tissues.
Casual digression: There’s something universally appealing about watching a very young actor deliver their lines with complete intensity, then giggle in interviews about ice cream or dancing with their dog afterward. That’s Treesha. Her social feeds are sprinkled with glimpses of behind-the-scenes play and candid family moments that somehow feel more authentic than most grown-up influencers.
Treesha Thosar Wins National Award
To answer as directly as possible: Treesha Thosar won the National Award for Best Child Artist in 2025 for her performance in “Naal 2,” and honestly, it was one of those moments that felt both inevitable and genuinely surprising.

Picture this: the 71st National Film Awards ceremony at Vigyan Bhawan, packed to the rafters with A-listers, media, and more flowers than are probably healthy for anyone’s pollen allergies. Treesha arrives in a little white saree, her hands folded in a Namaste gesture that nearly melts the entire room—right before President Droupadi Murmu hands her the award. It’s the sort of thing you could easily imagine as a movie scene, but this was absolutely real.
Her reaction on stage is going viral for a reason. There’s none of that awkward theatricality you sometimes see with young winners. Instead, she flashes a grin, blushes at the applause, and casts a quick look at the crowd as if checking, “Are they clapping for me…really?” Even Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, who were in the front row, cheered and smiled at her—imagine getting louder applause than SRK himself for a moment. That’s a pretty wild achievement, and not just for someone her age.
Digging deeper, “Naal 2” is one of those rare sequels that brings its child characters centre stage, and Treesha’s portrayal of Chimi (Revati) struck a chord with the audience. The film itself, set in a rural village and directed by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti, emphasizes sibling bonds and childhood journeys. Treesha’s performance there—its warmth, its soul—was called “heartfelt” not just by critics but also by fans posting feverishly under her award clips.
Just a slightly sappy observation: Sometimes the most beautiful part of a big victory is how genuinely puzzled a little kid can look when handed the mic. In a post-event interview, she apparently said she didn’t “fully understand what she had achieved,” but she knew her family and state were proud. Grown-ups could learn a thing or two from that kind of humility.
Fans Reaction
The fans have lost their collective minds (in the best way). The comments sections on all platforms—from YouTube Shorts to Instagram reels—are overflowed with heart emojis, congratulations, jokes about her ‘overloaded cuteness’, and genuine pride in her achievement.
Here’s the kind of stuff you’ll find:
- “She looks so cute in the white sari! Kudos to the parents!”
- “She’s the third person to get applause as loud as Mohanlal and SRK!”
- “Cuteness overload… and talent, too!”
- “Congratulations little star… We’re all rooting for more success!”
- “President hugged her—now my day is made!”
Some fans even admit they started following Treesha just because of a viral clip from the awards. Not because of calculated fandom, but because her reactions felt “real.” For many, her win is a symbol not just of talent, but the charm and joy that child artists can bring to mainstream Indian cinema.
Let’s be honest—everyone loves an underdog, especially when the age on their award certificate is half the ages of the other nominees. There’s a sense of collective, almost parental pride sweeping through her fanbase. And yes, her Instagram managed by mom features a healthy dose of emojis and comments asking for updates about “what’s next?” in a way that only Indian internet fandom can do.
