In terms of success, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan also lagged behind these two fresh artists.

These two star kids are Ahaan Pandey and Aryan Khan. Ahaan, nephew of Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey, became a hit from his debut film. Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan also entered the world of direction and became famous. The names of both the star kids remained on people’s lips throughout the year due to their talent.
