Career

Hansraj started his career as a child artist in the 1983 film Masoom, which starred Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. The film was about a 9-year-old boy whose stepmother was not willing to accept him into the family because he was born from an unfaithful relationship. Masoom was based on Man, Woman and Child, a novel by Erich Segal. The film had a positive response and launched Hansraj's career. Later on, he continued his career as a child artist in several films like Karma (1986) and Sultanat (1986).

Jugal was also very prolific as a model for TV and print media as a child. One of his best known campaigns was for "Nutramul" with the catchy slogan - "Be a Nutramul Dada"

Hansraj started his adult career with Aa Gale Lag Jaa in 1994, where he was paired with Urmila Matondkar who incidentally played his sister in his first film Masoom. He was noticed again in Papa Kehte Hai (1995) opposite Mayuri Kango, also starring legendary actor Anupam Kher. The 2000 film, Mohabbatein, which also featured Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, was his adult breakthrough film. He then played minor roles in the highly successful 2001 multi-starrer Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and in the 2005 hit Salaam Namaste.

He is turning director with an animated film produced jointly by Yashraj Films and Walt Disney which is titled Roadside Romeo and will have Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor lending their voices for the lead characters.
