Who is Naomika Saran? All you need to know about late Rajesh Khanna’s granddaughter

Mumbai’s glittering Bollywood elite gathered on Monday, April 7, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Maddock Films.

While A-listers flooded the event, it was Naomika Saran, the granddaughter of late superstar Rajesh Khanna, who became the talk of the town. The young star kid made a rare public appearance alongside her grandmother, veteran actress Dimple Kapadia, leaving fans in awe of her striking resemblance to the legendary Khanna.

A video of Naomika posing with Dimple on the red carpet quickly went viral, with social media users gushing over her poise and classic beauty. Many pointed out how she mirrors her iconic grandfather’s charm. “She’s got Rajesh Khanna’s magic in her smile!” wrote one fan, while another added, “Dimple’s grace and Rajesh’s charisma—she’s the perfect blend!” Others playfully demanded, “Bollywood, cast her already!”

Dressed in a chic black mini dress paired with sleek heels and a sling bag, Naomika radiated modern elegance. Dimple, meanwhile, kept it timeless in a pristine white outfit.

The daughter of former actress Rinke Khanna (known for Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hai) and businessman Sameer Saran, Naomika is Twinkle Khanna’s niece and the cousin of Aarav Bhatia (Akshay Kumar and Twinkle’s son). Though she keeps her personal life private, her Instagram boasts over 134k followers, including star kids like Ananya Panday and Suhana Khan.

Currently pursuing film studies at New York University’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, Naomika previously attended Mumbai’s St. Xavier’s College.
