    The 'N' word (nepotism) is the elephant in the room undoubtedly. But nevertheless, many newcomers hailing from the most well-known Bollywood families are all set to set the screens on fire, in 2023.
    It’s all in the family! Literally. Notwithstanding numerous online discourses and trolling, Bollywood remains a top-career choice for most star kids. Although the vast majority of these newbies today face tremendous hate and are brutally trolled for almost everything they do - from film choices to their sartorial preferences - they are inevitably drawn to the world of lights, cameras, and action.

    The year 2023 will witness the big-screen debut of several star kids. Below are a few who are preparing to step into the shoes of their illustrious parents/family members.


    Suhana Khan

    Fame was always on the cards for Suhana Khan. The daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, this petite debutante made headlines way back in 2018 when she graced the cover of the fashion magazine Vogue. The 22-year-old completed her education at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai and later studied acting and drama at the prestigious New York University (NYU) in America. She made her debut through a short film ‘The Grey Part of Blue’ (2019) but she will start her Bollywood innings with the Zoya Akhtar-directorial ‘The Archies’. This will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Archie’s comic series. This Netflix original film will be set in the backdrop of the 1960s and will explore the dynamics between a close-knit group of friends hailing from the Anglo-Indian community.


    Agastya Nanda

    Although this star kid is more of a recluse compared to his social-media-savvy sister Navya Naveli, Agastya Nanda belongs to two of the most prominent families of tinsel town. Being the grandson of Amitabh Bachchan and the great-grandson of 'Bollywood showman' Raj Kapoor (he is the grandson of Ritu Nanda, Kapoor’s grand-daughter), Nanda is practically Bollywood royalty. He will also debut with Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix movie ‘The Archies’. He will essay the role of Archie, the impulsive, flirtatious, and big-hearted protagonist. The film will also star Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, Yuvraj Menda, and others.


    Khushi Kapoor
