Kids grow up fast. In case of child actors, their short disappearance from the silver screen and abrupt return as a chic teenager always surprise movie lovers. Same is the case with Esther Anil, aka Baby Esther, who conquered the hearts of pan-Indian movie audience as Anumol, the younger daughter of Georgekutty and Rani, in Jeethu Joseph's much-celebrated Mohanlal movie 'Drishyam' in 2013.

Esther appeared in almost all the remakes of 'Drishyam', including 'Papanasham' with Kamal Haasan and with Telugu superstar Daggubati Venkatesh in 'Drushyam'. She had been the adorable kid of south Indian households with her realistic performance in the crime thriller. She has acted in more than 20 five Malayalam movies as a child actor.

After a short break from busy shooting schedules, Esther has been spotted in limelight now, with a drastic makeover to a stylish, mature teenager. Esther's latest photos give a pleasant surprise to the Mollywood audience as their old charming princess is seen as a well-dressed, alluring young lady.

Here are some flashy pix of Esther from her latest photoshoot for Diva, a designer studio in Kochi. The young actor is seen dressed in an ethnic green and red lehenga embellished with white stones and mirror-work. Her fish-tail braid, highlighting red bindi and a full set of green glass-bangles give the teenager an alluring aura. Esther has also worn a stone-worked rich necklace that clasps her lean neck and prominent matching earrings.
