Let us be real—some celebrity kids make public appearances and disappear like a Snapchat story. But every once in a while, a Gen Alpha steps out and the internet collectively loses its chill. That is exactly what happened when Naomika Saran, granddaughter of Bollywood’s OGs Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, casually turned heads at a Maddock Films success party in Mumbai.
Naomika showed up serving elegant Gen Z glam in a black mini dress, heels, and a sling bag that screamed “quiet luxury”. By her side was none other than grandma Dimple Kapadia, effortlessly slaying in an all-white fit. But here is the viral moment: Dimple literally stepped back and insisted the paparazzi click Naomika’s solo pictures first. Icon behaviour runs in the family, apparently.
?As the videos hit the internet, fans could not stop comparing Naomika to a buffet of Bollywood royalty. Some spotted a mirror image of Rajesh Khanna in her features, while others were convinced she was Twinkle Khanna 2.0. One user said she had “an innocent face and pretty vibes,” while another wrote that she “totally resembles the OG superstar Rajesh Khanna”.
FYI, Naomika is the daughter of Rinke Khanna and granddaughter of Dimple and Rajesh. Her cousin is none other than Aarav Kumar, son of Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar. Aarav himself was recently spotted with cousin Simran Bhatia, who is all set to debut in Bollywood. Basically, this new-gen Bollywood fam is slowly but surely building a star kid cinematic universe.
This is not even Naomika’s first viral outing. She had the internet buzzing earlier this year when she attended the screening of Sky Force with Dimple. The grandmother-granddaughter bond was strong, the paparazzi flashes were stronger, and the fans? Fully obsessed.
While Naomika has not officially announced any Bollywood plans, if soft-launching star kids was a sport, she would already be in the Hall of Fame. Watch this space, because Bollywood may just be getting its next queen.
