Amitabh Bachchan

Rishi Kapoor

Grandfather to daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's daughter Samara Sahni, the legendary actor seems to truly enjoy her company.

Salim Khan

The patriarch of the illustrious Khandaan again became a grandfather with the arrival of daughter Arpita's son, Ahil Sharma last year.

Khan, who is known to be extremely close to his grandchildren clearly cannot get enough of the little munchkin and is often seen playing with him.

The 81-year-old is already grandfather to sons Sohail and Arbaaz's kids.

Rakesh Roshan

Grandfather to 10-year-old Hrehaan and 8-year-old Hridhaan, Rakesh Roshan is an extremely engaged grandfather. He is very much a part of his grandson's lives and even encourages them top help with with storylines.

In an interview to DNA, he even admitted that the two boys are keen to join the industry as well. "Before joining films Hrithik assisted me in a few films. Now Rajesh's (Roshan) son is assisting me... we have another Roshan coming up. Then we have Hrehaan and Hridhaan. When I ask them what you want to do, they instantly say actors. So the Roshan's are there and they will be there," he said.
