Bollywood star Mahima Chaudhry has returned to screens with the rom-com Nadaaniyan, which also marked the acting debut of Saif Ali Khan’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan. In the film, Mahima appears as the on-screen mother to Khushi Kapoor’s character.

While the plot follows a college romance between two celebrity children, another young presence drew attention at the premiere — Mahima’s daughter, Ariana Chaudhry. Her appearance on the red carpet sparked lively discussion online, with viewers remarking on a striking resemblance to American singer-actress Selena Gomez.

On a recent low-key outing to a salon, Mahima and her 18-year-old daughter paused for photographers before leaving. Ariana wore a striped shirt, sported kohled eyes and neat bangs, a look that prompted warm reactions on social media. Fans compared her to international celebs, described her as doll-like, and repeatedly pointed out how much she resembles her mother.

In June, Ariana marked another milestone when she graduated. Mahima shared a heartfelt post about the moment, expressing her pride and reflecting on returning to work to ensure her daughter received a strong education, while wishing her every success as she moves forward.

With her poised presence and growing public interest, Ariana Chaudhry is emerging as a notable young face in her own right, admired both for her lineage and her individual charm.
