Ibrahim Ali Khan Is 'New-Age Salman Khan', Naomika Saran Is 'Very Polite': Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla

Over the last few years, many star kids have ventured into Bollywood. Ibrahim Ali Khan, Agastya Nanda, Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor are a few examples. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar’s niece, Naomika Saran,

will soon mark her debut and his son, Aarav Bhatia, has no plans to star in films. Recently, designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla appeared on The Namrata Zakaria Show and reflected on the journeys of these star kids.

Speaking of Ibrahim Ali Khan, they said, “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.”

Speaking of Agastya Nanda’s next film, Ikkis, 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.” Abu Jani added, “We also wish him the best because he has got the talent and he will do well.”

“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 designers also reflected on Aarav Bhatia wanting a career in fashion instead of films. “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.
