Imran Khan, the nephew of superstar Aamir Khan and filmmaker Mansoor Khan, is the next film heir to hit the Bollywood marquee after the grand debut of Rishi and Neetu Kapoor’s son Ranbir in November 2007 with the disastrous Saawariya. Bollywood film royalty never had it so good. Comparisons between the two actors are inevitable, but being of the good old film stock, Imran’s career sure looks promising. Imran made his first public appearance orchestrated by Aamir, on Tuesday evening at his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’s music launch held at veteran Shammi Kapoor’s home in Mumbai.
His girlfriend, Avantika Malik was there too alongside the rest of his family comprising uncles Aamir and Mansoor Khan, mother Nuzhat Khan and Kiran Rao. Imran is going steady with Avantika and it’s common knowledge that the two twenty-five year-olds are very serious about each other.
But Avantika, who is the daughter of CNBC TV18’s head honcho Vandana Malik, was dating Ranbir Kapoor prior to dating Imran.
Of course now Ranbir is seeing Deepika Padukone. Avantika and Ranbir are still very friendly and on good terms despite having moved on in their personal lives.
