Speculations are rife in the tinsel town of Bollywood that Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan is dating Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda.
For those not in the know, the two are gearing up to begin their acting career together with Zoya Akhtar’s much-anticipated Netflix film The Archies, which started rolling last year and is expected to premiere soon.
A source from The Archies informed a leading Indian publication that Suhana Khan and Agastya Nanda are indeed in a relationship. They came closer while working together on the film.
The source also added that Agastya has already introduced Suhana as his partner to all his family members at the Christmas brunch hosted by the Kapoor family a couple of days ago. Agastya is related to the Kapoor family from his father’s side. His mother Shweta Bachchan really likes Suhana and approves of the relationship.
According to the source, the two are not making any attempt to hide their relationship, but there is no plan to make it official soon.
Meanwhile, as soon as the news of Agastya and Suhana emerged in the media, fans took to social media and shared their views on the relationship. While some seem happy, many felt that this is just a publicity stunt as their film is coming soon.
Talking about The Archies, the highly anticipated film marks the debut of several star kids, including Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and Khushi Kapoor along with Mihir Ahuja, Dot, Yuvraj Menda, and Vedang Raina.
Bankrolled by Tiger Baby Films, Graphic India, and Archies Comics, the film will release this year on Netflix.

Speaking at a business event, she basically said her village roots made it harder.
Directly named SRK, calling him a Delhiite with a convent education.
Threw "brutal honesty" out there as her secret weapon.
You can already imagine the social media frenzy this kicked off.
It's the latest salvo in the whole insider-outsider war that never ends.
Well, she's done it again. Kangana Ranaut, now MP, just reframed the entire Bollywood struggle debate with one comparison. At a recent industry gathering in Delhi, she got to talking about her success. And then she brought up Shah Rukh Khan. Not with nostalgia. She positioned her own journey from a no-name Himachal village as the tougher path against his, what she termed, convent-educated Delhi background, and it obviously sparked reactions online.

So what did she actually say?
Her exact words: "Why did I get so much success?" she asked the room. Classic Kangana, starting with a question she's about to answer herself. "There is probably nobody else who came from a village and got such success in the mainstream. You talk about Shah Rukh Khan. They are from Delhi, convent-educated. I was from a village that nobody would have even heard of, Bhamla." And the punchline is that she believes it's her "brutal honesty" that did the trick.

Let's talk about these two different worlds
Look at the facts. Kangana. Bhamla. Left at 15 for Mumbai, a kid with no roadmap. Her fight in the industry is well-documented, every step a battle she talks about. Four National Awards though, that's huge. Then Shah Rukh. Delhi. Lost his parents young, sure. But he cut his teeth on TV, became a name before he even hit films. His Mumbai move in '91 led to... well, to being King Khan. Both stories are about making it from nothing. But nothing means different things depending on your postcode, apparently.

And the fallout?
It's a mess online, obviously. You have one side cheering her on for saying the quiet part out loud: that a village girl with no English has a steeper hill to climb than a guy from the capital. Then the other side is just exhausted. They're saying it's a cheap shot, that it diminishes Khan's own loss and grind. Does this debate even go anywhere? It just seems to recycle every few months. But people click. They always click.
