Gorgeous in a delicately embroidered champagne pink churidaar-kameez, the teenager was the picture of sophistication as she watched her grandfather receive the Padma Vibhushan. She was seen chatting with her grandmother Jaya Bachchan and with her maama Abhishek and maami Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Navya Naveli, who has a younger brother Agastya, has descended from Bollywood royalty not just from the maternal side. She is also the great-grandaughter of the legendary actor Raj Kapoor. She is currently studying at London's prestigious Seven Oaks School, where actor Shah Rukh Khan's son is also enrolled.
And while we're not sure whether she will follow her grandparents' footsteps, we can't help feel that, with such an enviable gene pool and her looks, she could be the next star-in-the-making.
