Sanjay Kapoor’s daughter Shanaya Kapoor has made her Bollywood debut with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, but the film didn't quite set the box office ablaze. The film, also starring Vikrant Massey, has registered the lowest opening day numbers compared to other star kids such as Ananya Panday, Khushi Kapoor, and Rasha Thadani. Here’s how others fared:
Ananya Panday

Daughter of Chunky Panday and Bhavana Pandey, Ananya entered Bollywood with Student of the Year 2 in 2019. Directed by Punit Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar, the teen romantic comedy also starred Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Aditya Seal. As per Sacnilk, the film registered a business of ₹12.06 crore on the opening day.
Shanaya Kapoor
After a much ups and downs, Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, has started her Bollywood journey with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring alongside Vikrant Massey. The film, which was released on July 11, seems to be struggling at the box office. According to Sacnilk, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opened in theatres at just ₹35 lakh.
Rasha Thadani
Raveena Tandon’s daughter Rasha Thadani ventured in Bollywood with period drama Azaad. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Diana Penty, Mohit Malik and Piyush Mishra. Set in pre-independence India, Azaad explores the bond between a young stable boy and a horse. It was released in theatres on January 17. The film also introduced Ajay Devgn’s nephew Aaman Devgan, and failed miserably at the box office. According to Sacnilk, Azaad raked in ₹1.5 crore on day one.
