'''Darsheel Safary''' (born 8 March 1997) is an Indian actor who appears in [[Hindi cinema|Hindi]] films and television. Safary made his film debut with the leading role of a student with learning disorder in [[Aamir Khan]]'s directorial debut, the critically acclaimed drama ''[[Taare Zameen Par]]'' (2007), for which he won the [[Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor]].

==Career==
In 2007, Safary made his acting debut in ''[[Taare Zameen Par]]'', playing the film's protagonist Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi. Safary was discovered by script writer and creative director, [[Amol Gupte]] in late 2006 when he was looking for a male lead for ''[[Taare Zameen Par]]''. After going through hundreds of auditions, Gupte found Safary at [[Shiamak Davar]]'s dancing school, "Summer Funk". In choosing Safary, Gupte had a number of boys audition for a scene in which they would informally describe how they would "[[Truancy|bunk]]" school after being given a few scenarios. He recalls, "It was a tough call. But Darsheel has the mischief in his eyes to be Ishaan. Everyone just naturally gravitated towards him."<ref>{{cite web|title=A leap of faith|author=Vij, Gauri|date=3 February 2008|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=2008-04-11|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/2008/02/03/stories/2008020350030200.htm|archive-date=30 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120830235243/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/2008/02/03/stories/2008020350030200.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
