Aarav Bhatia, son of Bollywood power couple Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, made a rare public appearance at Huma Qureshi’s star-studded Eid bash on Friday night. Known for staying away from the limelight, Aarav surprised everyone as he stepped out in style — not alone, but with a mystery girl by his side.
The two were seen arriving together, sparking a wave of curiosity among fans and paparazzi. Aarav looked dapper and confident, escorting the young woman with grace, while the two shared a few light moments and smiles in front of the cameras. The pair even left the party together in the same car, raising more eyebrows and leading to speculation about their relationship status.
Social media quickly lit up with fan theories. While some were convinced that the girl is Aarav’s rumored girlfriend, others were quick to clarify that she might be his cousin, Simar Bhatia. One fan commented, “He looks genuinely happy. That girl’s lucky!” Meanwhile, another netizen countered, “Relax, that’s his cousin!” A third chimed in, “Sharam karlo, it’s his cousin, guys.”
So, who is Simar Bhatia?
Simar is the daughter of Akshay Kumar’s sister, Alka Bhatia, making her Aarav’s cousin. The young starlet is set to make her grand Bollywood debut in Ikkis, alongside Agastya Nanda, Jaideep Ahlawat, and veteran actor Dharmendra. With the spotlight slowly turning toward her, Simar is already grabbing attention for her striking presence and resemblance to her superstar uncle.
Akshay Kumar, a doting uncle, has always been vocal about his love and support for his niece. Just last month, he took to social media to celebrate her big career milestone, sharing a heartfelt post:
“I remember the first time I saw my photo on the cover of the newspaper. I thought that’s the ultimate happiness. But today I know the joy of seeing your child’s photo here beats everything. I wish my mom was here today, and she would’ve said, ‘Simar puttar tu tah kamaal hai.’ Bless you, my baby, the sky is yours.”
As for Aarav, despite his lineage, he continues to maintain a low profile and has shown little interest in entering Bollywood — at least for now. Whether the girl spotted with him was his cousin Simar or someone else entirely, the buzz has definitely got fans talking.
One thing’s for sure — wherever Aarav goes, eyes are bound to follow.
