Headline: Bollywood's Next Generation: Star Kids Who Shunned Acting for Unexpected Careers

There’s no denying that the world of glitz and glamour is too attractive to miss. The drama that unfolds, before, after, and between ‘lights, camera, and action’ can be too enticing. Yet, some Bollywood star kids don’t dream of being in front of the camera. There can be endless speculations around their big screen debuts, but you will be shocked to know the alternate careers that many star kids opted for, as they ditched the plan to act. ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’ fame Aryan Khan took the industry by storm when he made his creative debut as a director and not an actor in Bollywood. Being the son of Bollywood’s King does come with its own pre-assumed responsibilities. People were waiting for him to follow the footsteps of his father, but the Aryan gave a surprise, and a great surprise at that, when he chose filmmaking over acting. The rave reviews of the series speak volumes about Aryan’s creative vision. Speaking of the Khans, Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan also chose a different path than her father. She established a foundation, which works to promote emotional and mental wellness, and spread as much awareness as possible. She herself has been very vocal about her struggle with depression and thus wanted to create a safe enough place for an open dialogue on the subject.Filmmaker Boney Kapoor’s daughter, Anshula Kapoor, also ditched the lanes of Bollywood and built a name for herself in the field of social media and entrepreneurship. Unlike her siblings, Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Khushi Kapoor, Anshula decided to say no to acting. She is known to create a unique platform where celebrities can connect with their fans for charitable causes. Another starkid who decided to take a different path is R. Madhavan’s son, Vedaant Madhavan. He took an interest in sports and is a rising swimming star. He has won multiple medals, including five golds at the Malaysian Open, a gold and silver at the Danish Open, and bronze medals at both the Latvian and Thailand Opens. Bollywood’s Baba, aka Sanjay Dutt, is another actor whose child decided to carve a different path for herself. Sanjay Dutt’s daughter Trishala Dutt is a practicing psychotherapist who runs her own counseling business. Based in New York, she focuses on helping people overcome their emotional and mental challenges. Khiladi Kumar, aka Akshay Kumar, shared with ABP that his 23-year-old son, Aarav Kumar, has no interest in being an actor or making movies. “He told me straight, ‘Dad, I don’t want to come into films,’” Akshay said. Aarav is a fashion design student in London and plans to be a designer. Next name on our list is Navya Naveli Nanda, the granddaughter of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, niece of Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Rather than pursuing a career in acting, she co-created a platform dedicated to women's health issues. She also leads a project that advocates for gender equality.
