Known for his mind-boggling abstract paintings, the little one is making waves on many art platforms and was also accepted as disciple by the great cartoonist, RK Laxman.

2. Akrit Jaswal
A little girl burnt her hands and two of her fingers got stuck together. Her family did not have the money to go to the hospital so they went to Akrit Jaswal, the young doctor. Akrit successfully operated her and set her fingers right and India had a 7-year-old surgeon!
After this there was no turning back for the Akrit. Hailing from Punjab he went on to feature on the great media mogul Oprah Winfrey’s show and is also working towards finding a cure for Cancer.
