This year is likely to witness the debut of two star daughters in Bollywood — late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s eldest born Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan-Amrita Singh’s beti, Sara Ali Khan. Arjun Rampal has two daughters — Mahikaa and Myra. Asked if they will end up following their dad’s footsteps into the industry, the actor replied, “I think they will end up doing something creative. Myra is good at painting and I don’t know where she gets that from, considering the fact neither me nor my wife (Mehr Jessia) can sketch to save our lives. They both love music and dancing. Drama is one of Mahikaa’s majors. She likes theatre and participates in all her school plays. I am not going to force or push them, but if they need any help, I will be there.
If my daughters want to join films, I will support them. I would send them to a film school or ask them to assist a director. It’s a tough industry and while it gives you a lot, it takes away a lot as well. One has to have a tremendous amount of inner strength. It’s not an easy place and now, it has become even more competitive.”
