From Shah Rukh Khan’s captivating charm to Kajol’s timeless acting, these stars have carved their legacy in Indian cinema. But, as much as we love our Bollywood icons, their children, star kids, often make headlines too. Unfortunately, not always for the right reasons. Some of these star kids, to whom fame and fortune automatically befall them at birth, are reportedly caught up in such unhealthy habits as extreme drinking, smoking, and constant partying. Let’s take a closer look at five such star kids, what they are up to, and why their lifestyle choices are raising eyebrows.
Nysa Devgan is the daughter of Bollywood power couple Ajay Devgn and Kajol. Being a scion of a renowned Bollywood couple, Nysa has never really seen the darkness; she’s all about chic style and glamour in her social media presence. No matter if it’s attending a high-profile event or just chillin’ with friends, Nysa is sure to make some noise. However, beneath the glamour, Nysa is often associated with a party lifestyle. She is often seen at late-night events and clubs, and it has been reported that she is a regular at parties that involve alcohol. Nysa has not addressed these claims directly, but her social media pictures often raise controversy, and many fans are worried about her choices. Nysa has certainly been a product of privileged upbringing and exposure to high society. She does enjoy the privileges of being a star kid, but one should ask whether all this exposure to parties and late-night events is doing her more harm than good.
Aryan Khan is, without question, one of the most prominent star kids going around. With this striking look, sharp personality, and a charismatic face, this lad has attracted media attention even from his early childhood days. Unlike his dad, Aryan has not appeared on the film screen yet as an actor. But he can already be hailed as a ‘star’ today. However, Aryan’s life hasn’t been without controversy. In 2021, he made headlines for all the wrong reasons when he was arrested in a high-profile drug case. Though he was eventually cleared of all charges, the incident left a dent in his public image.
Aryan is also often seen at the high-end Bollywood parties, where he is usually accompanied by his close-knit group of friends. Though his smoking and drinking habits have been a point of discussion, Aryan has kept mum, letting his actions speak louder than words. Despite all these controversies, Aryan is said to be concentrating more on the camera business. He has recently launched his luxury streetwear brand and is said to be writing and directing a web series. Here’s hoping this situation marks a turning point for Aryan, steering him away from all the wrong company.
Amongst all the star kids, Ibrahim Ali Khan is perhaps one of the few who resembles his dad. Being the son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, Ibrahim is more like a carbon copy of Saif. Right from his smile to his sense of humor, he has taken everything from his father. While Ibrahim hasn’t entered Bollywood yet, he’s already a favorite of the paparazzi. His pictures, whether they’re from casual outings or high-profile parties—often go viral. However, it’s his party lifestyle that has raised concerns. Ibrahim is frequently spotted at some of Mumbai’s most exclusive clubs, with rumors suggesting he enjoys the occasional drink and smoke.
Ibrahim’s easygoing nature and charm make him popular among his peers, but it’s crucial for him to remember the fine line between fun and excess. With reports hinting at his Bollywood debut soon, Ibrahim needs to focus on making a strong impression in the industry rather than being tagged as a party animal.
Khushi Kapoor, the daughter of the late Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, is a name that’s trending in the fashion and beauty world. With perfect style and hot looks, Khushi is trending on social media. She’s also soon set to make a Bollywood debut.
But, like her peers, Khushi’s personal life often takes center stage. She’s frequently spotted at lavish parties, and there are rumors about her indulging in drinking and smoking. While Khushi’s party pictures often make headlines, it’s her work ethic and dedication to her craft that deserve more attention. Khushi has not shied away from talking about how much she is a film buff. She trained in New York’s prestigious drama school. Hope all her future work helps change this narrative that makes her prove beyond being just a star kid and getting stuck into the party scene.
Rasha Thadani is the youngest star kid on this list, being the daughter of the iconic Raveena Tandon. She is pretty new to the public eye, but Rasha is already making waves with her trendy fashion choices and vibrant social media presence.
However, Rasha is also a chatter about her partying habits. She always goes to nightclubs that charge high membership fees and, by many accounts, she smokes and drinks. These can be harmful not just physically but mentally as well at such a young age. This talent Rasha is gifted with needs to be used constructively, be it acting, modeling, or something else that she wants to do, she owns the world, that is, if she chooses wisely.
Fine, let’s get down to it. Yeah, smoking and drinking may seem like the coolest kid things to do, but trust, they are far from that. It can play hell with your body and mind, and for star kids who live in the limelight every day, the stakes are even higher.Smoking damages the lungs, causes cancer, and speeds up aging. Like, who wants wrinkly skin before 30? Drinking Can cause liver damage, heart problems, and mental health issues. And nobody is cute with a hangover. Star kids are not like normal people; they are influencers, whether they want to be or not. Millions of fans, especially teenagers, look up to them. And when they see them partying hard or smoking, etc, it’s not a very good precedent to be set.But let’s not forget the efforts of parents who build their legacies. Being a star kid is privileged enough, and to waste that with a transparent high on the likes of alcohol and cigarettes is a tragedy of wasted opportunity.
These star kids are very easy to judge, but being under the shadow of Bollywood isn’t a piece of cake. All this attention from the media, the pressure of outshining one’s parents, and no privacy are quite overwhelming. However, these challenges come with resources most people can only dream of, access to therapists, mentors, and a strong support system. These star kids need to utilize these resources for their good rather than adopting unhealthy habits. It is pathetic, being a Bollywood fan all these years, to see that these star kids make such decisions. Like, we all get into phases, but then one has to come to the realization of what to prioritize. Health, family, and career > wild nights out, any day.
You have the world at your feet. Do not let habits consume you that do more harm than good. Use your platform to inspire the people. Start a campaign, launch a charity, or just be a good role model. Take care of yourself. You owe it to your family, to your fans, and most importantly, yourself. It may sound like they are really living a dream; however, as usual for star kids, such a dream comes with a fragile line between fame and infamy. It is easy to get caught up in the party culture, but one should remember that the real lifetime injury is caused by unhealthy habits. And at the end of the day, we want these young stars to bloom-not for their sake alone, but because they carry this legacy forward. So, here’s hoping they do better and give us something to genuinely admire.
