Roll out the red carpet for the third generation of the Bachchans!
Agastya Nanda, grandson of Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan, son of Shweta and businessman Nikhil Nanda, gets ready to carry on the torch forward.
Agastya’s family lineage includes late grandparents Ritu Nanda, Raj Kapoor’s elder daughter, and Rajan Nanda.
Khushi Kapoor paid tribute to her superstar mum Sridevi by wearing her silver gown at the premiere. Sridevi had worn the gown with intricate crystals as a showstopper in 2013 at the IFA red carpet.
