While the news was taken down quite well with B-town, with actors like Sonakshi Sinha and Deepika Padukone congratulating Zoya, the audience didn’t back out to present their opinions of this being a project of nepotism, featuring all the star kids!
To the ones who are not aware, Suhana Khan had made her acting debut with a short 10-minute film named The Grey Part Of Blue, directed and written by Theodore Gimeno, where she played the lead role and the story revolved around the life of a young couple dealing with their relationship issues. Suhana was rained with good wishes and praises for her performance in the same!
Recently, Suhana also came out in support of ending colorism, where she opened up about how she was called ugly since she was 12 for having a darker skin tone. She took to her Instagram account and penned down her feelings about the same. She was applauded by everyone and was supported for having the courage to voice out her problem.
The star kid is now said to have her grand Bollywood debut with The Archies and we can only hope that she takes her place in the industry not as the daughter of Shah Rukh Khan but purely on the basis of her own talent and acting skills!
