After the #KikiChallenge, the internet is going gaga over the first challenge of 2019 – the #10YearChallenge where people are sharing their pictures from 10 years (2008-2009) ago next to their most recent one (2018-2019). Yes, it is that simple! No wonder the hashtag already has a giant family of 1,466,800 (and counting) posts on Instagram in a span of a few days. Social media including Facebook and Twitter are flooded with the challenge pictures and there’s no stopping the wave anytime soon.
The challenge is also called #HowHardDidAgingHitYou. Thankfully, things took a positive turn when the challenge quickly got dubbed as the #GlowUpChallenge – referring to how well people have aged over a decade. What an awesome way to celebrate yourself, isn’t it? However, it is unknown as to who or what started the movement.
People from all over the world are sharing their transformation pictures including Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities. Now, let me remind you that a decade ago, pictures didn’t have filters and were hardly edited – which has made the challenge all the more fun comparing then and now pictures of celebrities. Here are all the desi celebrities who have taken the challenge:
1. Bipasha Basu

Bipasha wrote, “#10yearchallenge seems fun…love how life makes us all go through so many phases… even in the way we look… I have no reason to complain… life has been awesome in these last 10 years… looking forward always ❤️”.
The first picture is from Race while the second one is from her upcoming movie Aadat. Hubby Karan Singh Grover will be seen as the male lead opposite Bips in the thriller film which is releasing this year.
2. Sonam Kapoor

Sonam’s caption was a thinker, “#10yearchallenge #23to33 from DELHI 6 to ek Ladki Ko Dekha toh AISA Laga.. do you think I got dads genes???”.
The actress’ journey from Delhi 6 to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga has us staring hard at the picture to find one difference. Have you aged at all, Sonam? We think not. The love story is all set to hit the theatres on 1st February 2019. How excited are you to see the ladki share the big screen with her dad Anil Kapoor for the first time?
3. Dia Mirza
