Bollywood is no more about just films or the performances. It also now fairly extends to the the family members of the celebs. 2018 was all about these babies and weddings and star-kid launches which grabbed headlines more than the films themselves. Speaking of star-kids, they have been the real 'stars' of the year. Not just the grown ups but the babies too were a part of the newsmaker list. Here are some popular celeb 'kids' who hogged the limelight in 2018 even before they are actual thing in the filmy space.
Suhana Khan
Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's pretty daughter hogged the limelight for multiple reasons. The young girl who has not even entered the Bollywood world and yet had her own share of star moments as well as controversies. She received substantial amount of flak for featuring on Vogue Magazine cover and was subjected to the 'nepotism' norm. Also, apart from impressing fans with her regular fashionable outings and vacation-school pictures, she also surprised all by her first play named 'Romeo and Juliet'.
Ananya Panday
Bollywood actor Chunky Panday's girl will be next seen in Student of the Year 2 along with Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria. But her outings with her girl gang, Suhana and Shanaya Kapoor are the news makers, thanks to their energetic, vibrant and fashionable presence. Also, in case you are unaware, her Instagram account is already a hit amongst the young fans!
Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor
Well, we don't have to tell you why these girls made news this year! Their debut films Dhadak and Kedarnath (resp.) hit the screens this years. Although, the flicks received a moderate response, the girls made a lot of noise on social media. Saif Ali Khan's daughter, Sara and Sridevi's daughter, Janhvi have unfortunately been always pitted against each other in terms of films choices, acting, fashion and even their co-stars. Even though they are good friends IRL, these factors brought several 'face-offs' their way, making them the most talked about star-kids this year.
Aryan Khan
Okay, so the elder son of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan too fits in the list. The reason you ask? As Poo once said, "Good looks, good looks and good looks!" The handsome guy is seldom seen smiling or socializing but whenever he makes that rare appearance, he makes news. 2018 was the year, when the fans saw most of Aryan Khan compared to what they saw in previous years.
Taimur Ali Khan
I know, most of you will disagree to add him in this list and argue that he will go into the 'babies of 2018' list, but here is the thing: Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan's baby has managed to outshine all the above mentioned star-kids and others single handed through out the year, in terms of hogging limelight. His smile, laugh, crying, talking, screaming, teasing, sticking his tongue out, waving, running, horse-riding, bicycle-riding, swimming, vacaying, correcting his own name (you can add more to the list), everything has created breaking news. Also, if this does not convince you, let us remind you that he has a 'doll' on his name which no other star kid has. Also, what else makes him distinct and a deserving member of this article is that a film named 'Taimur' is also reportedly being made. Well, I rest my case.
Like we said, 2018 indeed has been a year of star-kids who have not yet tasted substantial amount of success through their films. However, as 2019 starts, these kids (apart from Tim), will find their own place in the industry as performers. We wish them all the best!
