Bollywood’s unexpected celebrity connections: Surprising family ties you probably never knew existed

Ashutosh Rana is married to Renuka Shahane. Renuka is the sister-in-law of Ratna Pathak Shah (wife of Naseeruddin Shah). So there’s a fun connection there!

Farhan’s father Javed Akhtar and Farah’s mother Menaka Irani are siblings. Both cousins have worked in direction and choreography but rarely together.

Mohnish Bahl is Nutan’s son. Nutan was the sister of Kajol’s grandmother, Shobhana Samarth — making them cousins.

Aditi and Kiran are from royal families and are first cousins. Aditi acted in Rockstar, Kiran directed Dhobi Ghat and was married to Aamir Khan.

Shabana Azmi is Tabu’s aunt (Tabu’s mother and Shabana are sisters). No wonder they both are acting powerhouses!
