Atul and Alvira’s son Ayaan Agnihotri, also known by his stage name Agni, is a multi-talented artist in music. In February this year, he launched an English track blending rap, singing, and composition, and Salman Khan was seen supporting the event. At the Dubai launch event, Salman himself lightheartedly acknowledged nepotism while promoting Ayaan.

On the other hand, Salman has also been very supportive for Alizeh. While she made her acting debut as a child, in Hello (2008), directed by her father, she played the lead role in the 2023 film Farrey, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
