The glittery lives of Bollywood stars often thrive on rumours and scandals. So it shouldn't come as a surprise to you when you read spicy tittle-tattle about them and their star kids in the papers or online.
But while the stars themselves have their celebrity managers to handle these scandals, their kids often do not have that kind of support. This results in their infamous incidents tumbling out of the closet and in front of everybody.
Whether this is a result of ignorance on the parents' part or just silly rebellion, only time will tell; but here are some of the most scandalous incidents involving Bollywood's upcoming star kids.
#1 Khushi Kapoor
Actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor's younger daughter Khushi Kapoor is certainly a progressive girl. So while her Instagram account screams the same, she is often hit by headlines that question this very 'modern(ness).'
Pictures of Khushi kissing 'strange' boys and partying hard have often put her in the spot.
And quite recently, she was lambasted by haters for her 'revealing' outfits and was also body shamed. But like her diva mother, Khushi slammed all her detractors with a rather long message.
The angry young woman wrote, “I post my pictures because I feel good and confident. I put out these pictures not because I want to show off or try to be anyone or anything else. I have my own sense of style and my own way to think and me putting out a picture that’s accessible to so many people is taken more of an opportunity to judge me or my looks, clothes or anything else. I put something out there because it’s something I feel good about, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion but putting someone else down because of it is not making you any better of a person...”
But like they say, there is no smoke without fire!

#2 Sara Ali Khan
Being in the limelight comes with its own set of responsibilities. And those who are used to the bouquets, also have to get used to the brickbats. One such incident happened with Saif Ali Khan's star daughter Sara Ali Khan.
She is reportedly dating Veer Pahariya, who is former union minister, Sushil Kumar Shinde's maternal grandson. A report in Pune Mirror stated that Veer aspires to become a pop star and has studied in Dubai.
This report quoted Sara as describing her rumoured beau: "He doesn't mind road ka dosa, he is super sensitive, and he's the kind of guy you want to walk on the beach with." It was a clear indication that Sara was all set to be bombarded with brickbats for her 'alleged' affair!
However, her family is unfazed by these scandalous gossips and are happy that she completed her graduation from the prestigious Columbia University, US.
On being asked if he would be happy with Sara's decision to enter Bollywood, Saif told NDTV, “Look at Soha (his sister). She has a degree from London School of Economics and she is now into movies. I think the girls in my family think this (Bollywood) is far more fun. Yes, perhaps it is."

#3 Navya Naveli Nanda
The granddaughter of Bollywood's Badshah Amitabh Bachchan has also been embroiled in rumours in the recent past. A scandalous video of Navya along with Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan were doing the rounds a few years back.
But the rumours were rubbished soon after it was found that the video/MMS was infact of their lookalikes. The Bachchan family, of course, stand firmly behind their daughter and are quite proud of her recent achievements (she recently graduated from school).
In fact, Big B also wrote a rather heartfelt letter for his granddaughters including Aaradhya and Navya and encouraged them to not be bothered by what others say about them. This is an excerpt from his letter:
"Both of you maybe a Nanda or a Bachchan, but you are also girls…women!
And because you are women people will force their thinking, their boundaries on you.
They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go.
Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgment. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom...."

#4 Aaliya Kashyap
Daughter of director Anurag Kashyap and his first wife Aarti Bajaj, Aaliya Kashyap is breaking the Internet with her rather steamy pictures. While she has so far stayed clear of any mysterious scandals, she is known to be a party girl in her circle of close knit friends.
Often giving her social media followers a glimpse of her high-flying life along with close pal Khushi Kapoor and Ibrahim Ali Khan, Aaliya clearly knows how to party. And she is often in the news for the same.
But her family is not fazed by her so-called 'crazy' party rumours. They are also quite proud of their lovely daughter.
In an interview once Kahsyap even said that his film Ugly's emotional thriller was inspired by his fear for losing his daughter.
"When I started writing it was about me. After my divorce whenever I would meet my daughter she would complain that my work never ended. It triggered off from there. It started from my own guilt and then I included several real-life incidents like that of an IAS officer whose wife filed a case of brutality against him," Anurag told PTI.

#5 Aryan Khan
Destiny's favourite child and superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan has been the apple of the paparazzi's eye. The handsome chap who is said to be close to many of his female friends is often linked with many of them.
But this recent graduate is clearly unfazed by the tittle-tattle and continues to live life king-size, just as his doting dad. Quite recently he was linked to his friend Navya Naveli Nanda, and these rumours seem to have forced the two to distance themselves from each other for a while.
But Shah Rukh Khan, also seems to be unfazed by these rumours and wants to concentrate on building a close friendship with his kids.
In a video interview he once said, "I am very easy with my kids. They can discuss anything with me, specially Abram. And mainly because neither of us understand what the other one is saying. With Aryan also, I am very easy. I am like a friend."
But even with all these rumour mongering, it seems that these star kids are managing to do pretty well for themselves. Can we credit confident parenting? Perhaps!
