Today is Janmashtami and people are wishing their followers and friends on the occasion of Lord Krishna. Many of the celebs are sharing pictures of themselves as the blue-skinned god, with a penchant of stealing curd and enthralling the gopis with the tune of his flute. Sidharth Malhotra, the Bollywood heartthrob, shares a special message for his fans on a festive day through a childhood picture of the actor, dressed as Lord Krishna!

The picture taken in front of his house, has a young Sidharth Malhotra in Lord Krishna's garb, right down to the flute in his hand. In case you want to know how small he was, just see the shrub next to him. While sharing the picture, Sidharth revealed that it was his grandmother who had dressed him as the Hindu God. He had tweeted, "#HappyJanamashtami #KrishnaJanmashtami जन्माष्टमी की सभी को शुभकामनायह , me dressed as krishna by my beloved Dadi . #throwback #delhihouse #festivaloutfit .....P.S- for some reason placed next to a tall plant. Height reference maybe?"

Just recently, Imtiaz Ali had announced that he is going to make an epic movie on the eternal love story of Lord Krishna and his paramour, Radha. So can we consider Sidharth's picture as an audition profile for this?
