Over the past couple of years, several star kids have marked their debut in Bollywood. While some faced disappointing numbers at the box office, others were praised for their impeccable performance. Actors like Shweta Nanda’s son Agastya Nanda and Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan have done their debut films. On the other hand, there are many other star kids who have already grabbed eyeballs on social media, including Akshay Kumar’s son Aarav Bhatia and Rinke Khanna’s (Dimple Kapadia’s daughter) daughter Naomika Saran. During a recent conversation on an episode of The Namrata Zakaria Show, fashion designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, who have witnessed these star kids’ journey to adulthood, opened up about their interests, talent, and career paths.
Agastya will next feature in director Sriram Raghavan’s war drama Ikkis. Talking about the same, Sandeep Khosla said, “I think he is going to be very good. He is also in very good hands. Sriram Raghavan is a fantastic director.” To which, Abu Jani added, “We also wish him the best because he has got the talent and he will do well.”
The host then asked about their thoughts on Rinke’s daughter Naomika, who is has already become a pap favourite. “When we meet these children..calling them children because they are born in front of us. They are very well brought up. Even Dimple’s girls are very well brought up. When we meet them, they greet you and wish you first,” said Abu.
Sandeep continued, “But also, the times have changed today. Children are now very independent. Earlier, we could say that Abhishek do this or Shweta do that, but now kids take their own decisions. It’s not even Rinke deciding for Naomi what to do, it’s Naomi herself who decides for herself. She is a very attractive girl, very polite and very well brought up. But, she is like any other teenage girl, very very normal.”
The duo mutually agreed and called Ibrahim a ‘born star’ and his sister Sara Ali Khan is an ‘intelligent’ girl. “He is a born star. He is the superstar. He is a new-age Salman Khan. He has got this little..he has a pizzazz which nobody else has. Sara is too intelligent a girl in any case, went to New York, she studied so hard, she wanted to be a lawyer at one time.”
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s son Aarav Bhatia has been called a heartthrob in the past, especially after his rare public appearances. Speaking about his interest in fashion and no plans to enter the film industry, “He is studying design, in the best college to be creative. He has a fashion ambition. I just feel that film is the most difficult ambition to have. Even if you are a star kid, it’s so difficult for you. It’s a luck by chance, too much of a risk. You can never get out of it,” said Sandeep.
