Naomika Saran, Agastya Nanda, Suhana Khan and other star kids grab spotlight – a deep dive into family legacy

Whether it is the Hindi or South Indian film industry, there is no denying that this field is dominated by dynasties. In Bollywood, we have had the Kapoor’s who gave us three generations of stars. Currently, Rajesh Khanna’s granddaughter Naomika Saran is making netizens gush over her cute looks. If we take a look at films releasing in 2026, it becomes evident that Bollywood’s families are making sure that the legacy of film kids getting hyped debuts stays intact. Moving on from sons and daughters, we are hearing about nephews and nieces of actors who are entering Bollywood. Even the outsiders who entered the industry are kind of promoting their new generation to continue their legacy. Here is a look…

The Bachchans

The third generation of the Bachchan’s is represented by Agastya Nanda. He is the son of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda of the Escorts Group. His paternal grandmom was the elder daughter of Raj Kapoor and Krishna. Agastya Nanda has a rather forgettable debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies where the only person who stood out was Vedang Raina. Agastya Nanda will be seen next in Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis, where his co-star is Simar Bhatia, the niece of Akshay Kumar. There are rumours that Naomika Saran and Agastya Nanda will team up for a rom-com. Bollywood buffs would be curious to see Amitabh Bachchan and late Rajesh Khanna’s grandkids together.

The Kapoor's

Raj Kapoor’s grandchildren have perhaps had the best journey in Bollywood. Whether it is Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Karisma Kapoor all managed to make a name for them as talented actors. Ranbir Kapoor is one of the superstars of the current era along with the Khan’s. Shashi Kapoor’s grandson Zahan Kapoor left an incredible impact with his performance in Netflix’s Black Warrant.

The Roshan's

Rakesh Roshan did not have a very successful career as an actor, but his stint as a filmmaker earned him the accolades. His son, Hrithik Roshan who debuted in 2000 created mass hysteria across India with his Greek God looks, groovy moves and acting chops. The next generation has also made its foray into films with Pashmina Roshan starring in Ishq Vishk Rebound.

Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan’s kids Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan and AbRam Khan will inherit their father’s vast business that ranges from film production to sports franchises. Despite public demand, Aryan Khan chose to become a filmmaker instead of an actor. Suhana Khan made her debut with The Archies but did not manage to impress viewers or critics. She will be seen again in King, directed by Siddharth Anand. With Suhana Khan dating Agastya Nanda, the connection between film old and new film families seems to grow stronger.

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna

Akshay Kumar was one of the few outsiders who like Shah Rukh Khan managed to win over audiences and build a successful career in the 90s. Khiladi Kumar’s rugged good looks made women swoon, and he was fortunate to get some good scripts in the first five years of his career. Akshay Kumar made an appearance with his stunning niece Simar Bhatia at an event. She is going to debut in Ikkis with Agastya Nanda. She is the daughter of his sister Alka Bhatia.

Twinkle Khanna’s niece Naomika Saran is also going to soon debut in a rom-com with Agastya Nanda. She is the daughter of Rinke Khanna and Sameer Saran. Naomika has studied in the UK and her graduation pics went viral.

Raveena Tandon

Rasha Thadani, the daughter of Anil Thadani and Raveena Tandon managed to make noise with her debut in Azaad. Her dancing abilities managed to win over the neutral audience who saw a trace of her mother in her. Rasha Thadani has the drop-dead gorgeous looks needed for a typical Hindi film heroine.

Aamir Khan

One of the best actors with an enviable track record of blockbuster movies, Aamir Khan is producing a film for his son, Junaid Khan. The young man was seen in YRF’s Maharaj, a show where he did get some recognition. His film Loveyapa was also liked on OTT. Junaid Khan has a movie with Sai Pallavi coming up next!

Boney Kapoor's family

Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor have built a fan following in the past few years. While people might not be fans of their acting, there is no denying that their looks and fashion outings are a hit with social media users.
