17 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Naomika Saran, granddaughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, to debut in 2026
- Paired with Vedang Raina in a Dinesh Vijan-produced romantic comedy
- Intensive training in acting and dance to prepare for her first film
The next chapter of the Khanna-Kapadia film legacy is about to begin. Naomika Saran, the granddaughter of legendary actors Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, is all set to make her Bollywood debut in a romantic comedy produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films.
The young debutante has been preparing intensively for her first film over the past year, with workshops in acting and dance designed to polish her craft before stepping into the spotlight. Naomika will be paired opposite Vedang Raina, who was last seen in the Alia Bhatt-produced Jigra (2024). The film is expected to go on floors by mid-2026.
Naomika is the daughter of Rinke Khanna, who made her own acting debut in Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (1998), and the niece of Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar. Though she belongs to one of Bollywood's most celebrated families, Naomika has largely stayed away from the media glare until recently, when her frequent visits to Maddock Films' office set off speculation about her debut.
