The pair recently garnered attention when they appeared at the premiere of 'Nadaaniyan,' a movie that introduced Saif Ali Khan's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, to acting.
During the event, Ariana's appearance sparked discussions on social media, as fans compared the young star to American singer and actress Selena Gomez. Ariana captivated audiences online, leading to talks about whether she might pursue a career similar to her mother's.
Not soon... but yes...
In a recent interview with Filmygyaan, Mahima discussed the increasing interest in Ariana's possible entry into Bollywood. When questioned about her daughter's potential debut, she openly stated, 'Not soon... but yes.' She also mentioned, 'I love films, I love creativity, and I want her to be part of my legacy. I would really like that because I feel that whatever I have established in life, I have established here, and there's nothing like Mumbai, so I want her to be here.'
The actor mentioned that although she is not eager for her daughter to join the industry soon, she would fully support Ariana if she decides to take up acting.
