KARACHI:
While Throwback Thursday is a known phenomenon, Transformation Thursday is the newest trend taking social media by a storm. We took the opportunity to take you down the memory lane of our favourite celebrities. Because, who doesn't like 'before' and 'after' pictures? Here is a glimpse into the childhood of these superstars.
Angelina Jolie
Actor, film-maker, and Hollywood’s highest-paid female actor, Angelina Jolie still carries her simple yet elegant look.
Fawad Afzal Khan
Our guess is that Pakistan's heartthrob, who has a huge fan following in Bollywood, as well as Lollywood, enjoyed the same attention in his earlier years as he does now.
Aamir Khan
Mr Perfectionist, as people call him, Aamir Khan has clearly carried his cheeky smile since his childhood days. He is one of the most innovative Bollywood actors.
Dr Aamir Liaquat
Whether we're looking at a young or (slightly) older Dr Liaquat, the only thing that comes to our mind is, "Ghalib film dekhi hai aapne?"
The breathtakingly beautiful Mahira Khan has the looks and the brains, and was an absolute doll as a child as well. Let's hope the 'Raees' entry in Bollywood is a huge success.
William Bradley “Brad” Pitt
Brad Pitt has always been a charismatic personality whether it's on screen or off, and there is nothing wrong with assuming that he was as charming in his teen days as he is now.
Katrina Kaif
Bollywood's Barbie doll, Katrina Kaif was praised for her looks from a very young age. Along with her good looks, her humble personality sets her apart from the rest.
George Timothy Clooney
American actor, writer, producer, director, and activist, Clooney was the most sought-after bachelor until he met his soul mate, Amal Alamuddin. If Clooney and Amal saw this, we are sure they will definitely have a laugh.
Ali Zafar
One of Pakistan's talented assets, Zafar is famous for his looks and abilities. These pictures show he has always been dashing.
Aishwarya Rai
Crowned Miss World in 1994, this Bollywood beauty is still as stunning as ever. Making her first debut in 1997, the actor has come a long way.
Hrithik Roshan
Bollywood hunk Hritik Roshan has stunned on the big screen with his incredible dance moves and physical appearance. His obsession with body building has evidently brought him a long way.
Mehwish Hayat
A darling of the Pakistani media industry, Mewish Hayat's throwback picture tells us that she was a very mischievous child and that to-die-for smile has remained a constant.
Shahrukh Khan
King Khan, who started his career as a villain, needed a major transformation before becoming what he is today -- a romantic icon. Thank God he did, otherwise we wouldn't have been any 'Raj' or 'Rahul 'to look up to.
Christian Charles Philip Bale
The English actor, famous for playing Batman in the Batman series, always had that greedy, 'need for success' look in his eyes. Bale is one of the most stable and creative actors in Hollywood.
Shahid Afridi
If Shahid Afridi couldn't entertain us with his cricket abilities, he could have done a 'Boom Boom' job on the big screen with those looks.
Deepika Padukone
The most versatile actor of Indian cinema, Deepika Padukone and her dimples steal our hearts every single time, now and then.
Karisma and Kareena Kapoor
The Kapoor sisters are still the same, joyful and loving. They top the list for the most beautiful siblings in Bollywood.
Hamza Ali Abbasi
With looks to die for, Abbasi and his charm have played a key role in his career. From an adorable school boy to becoming one of Pakistan's most good-looking celebrities, he is definitely one of the most loved personalities in Pakistan.
Gwyneth Kate Paltrow
Paltrow, an American actor who gained early attention for her work in films such as Seven and Emma, has always been a beautiful individual, meant to shine on the big screen.
Ranbir Kapoor
Heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor keeps us on our toes with his looks and charisma, even at that young age. Currently dating Katrina Kaif, the couple would have looked equally adorable together if they had met 15 years ago.
Kamran Akmal and Omar Akmal
The Akmal brothers have always been in the limelight. Let's just take a moment to enjoy this picture without any 'Drop it like it's hot' comments.
Priyanka Chopra
This rare photo of the multi-talented Bollywood actor and fashionista tells us two things: either she was once a loved and pampered child or she was just given her freedom to dress the way she wanted.
Kim Kardashian
Breaking the internet could have been easier if Kim Kardashian would have shared this adorable picture from her childhood. Or could it have been?
Faisal Qureshi
Always entertaining us with his unlimited and creative charactersm Qureshi is a born entertainer and hasn't changed a bit.
Shilpa Shetty
Rated as one of the Bollywood's most glamorous actors, Shetty definitely has had a long journey to where she is today. This is a clear example of #TransformationandThrowbackThursday.
John Christopher “Johnny” Depp II
Best known for his performance as 'Jack Sparrow' in Pirates of the Caribbean, the American actor, film-maker, and musician, is one charming personality.
Alia Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt
This father-daughter relationship is by far the most creative and sensational one in the Indian industry. Not a big change for Mr Bhatt but Alia has transformed from adorable, to one of the most good looking actors in the industry.
Misbahul Haq
Leading the Pakistani team in the ICC World Cup, 2015, we hope that this post brings a smile to our captain's face and takes him away from all the current woes, if any. And let's hope his smile carries the team into the quarter finals.
