After almost 20 years since the release of “Taare Zameen Par,” the iconic Bollywood film, actor Sachet Engineer is back in the spotlight for a very different reason. Former Child Star Sachet Engineer, who played Yohaan Awasthi (the kind, big brother to Ishaan in the 2007 film), has developed a very successful career as a dentist in the UK, but he is also pursuing his aviation-related passions.
From Yohaan Awasthi to a New Life Beyond Bollywood
Sachet’s return came as a surprise to many of his fans, who remember him as the academic and supportive elder brother of Ishaan (portrayed by Darsheel Safary) in the acclaimed Aamir Khan film. There are many child actors who continue to work in the entertainment industry, but Sachet chose a career path away from film and television.
A Memorable Character in a Path-Breaking Film
“Taare Zameen Par,” released in 2007, marked a significant milestone in modern Indian cinema. The film addressed the adverse effects of learning disabilities in children and created awareness throughout the nation regarding education, parenting, and childhood development.
While most of the film’s attention was on Darsheel Safary, actor Sachet Engineer’s portrayal of Yohaan also received an enormous amount of praise. Yohaan was depicted as a caring, intelligent, and loving older brother who stood by Ishaan while his family faced many challenges.

Choosing Academics Over Stardom
After achieving fame as a young child actor, Sachet made the decision to leave Bollywood and pursue other interests. Multiple news sources reported that he rejected roles in both film and advertising to prioritize his academic career over acting full time.
This decision ultimately took him to practice dentistry. After completing dental school, Sachet graduated with a gold medal in periodontics before going on to study further in the United Kingdom. Then he underwent additional training at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute in London.
Currently, Sachet is an accomplished dental care professional and has made a successful career out of providing health care to others. His academic success has attracted attention from his former fans who originally saw him as a child star.
In addition to pursuing dentistry, Sachet has also set high career aspirations related to aviation training and being a pilot. Sachet has shared several photographs and posts on social media showing his training while in an aircraft cockpit.
He wrote on his social media how flying helps him gain new perspective and reinforces the concept that there are unlimited possibilities with our lives. The transition from film to medicine to aviation has provided Sachet with a variety of opportunities and experiences, which he continues to share with others through his journey.
Fans Applaud His Remarkable Journey
Sachet Engineer has turned into the hottest topic online! Social media is bursting with congratulatory messages celebrating his success; many say his life is so similar to that of the main character he played in Taare Zameen Par.
In an age steeped in celebrity success stories, Sachet is evidence that success can also be achieved through hard work, dedication and personal determination. Almost two decades ago, Sachet was known for bringing the character of Yohaan Awasthi to life on the screen, now he is inspiring others every day in fields such as health care and air travel!
