Simar Bhatia is turning out to be one of the new faces to watch in Bollywood. As the niece of the celebrated actor Akshay Kumar, she is going to make her debut in the highly awaited film “Ikkis,” directed by Sriram Raghavan. This article gives insight into her background, family, and excitement surrounding her entry into the film industry.
Early Life and Family
Simar Bhatia is Akshay Kumar’s sister’s daughter. Alka Bhatia is the sister of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, an Indian film producer known for the success of the movies “Holiday,” “Rustom,” “Airlift,” and “Kesari.” Alka was previously married to Vaibhav Kapoor; the couple bore Simar and got divorced later on. Now, she is married to real estate tycoon Surendra Hiranandani.
Simar spent her early years in Mumbai and attended prestigious schools like Jamnabai Narsee School and Oberoi International School. Later she studied at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, and later at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California.
She is from an entertainment industry-saturated family: her uncle is Akshay Kumar, Bollywood’s biggest movie star. Simar’s aunt, Twinkle Khanna, is also very famous as an interior designer, author, and former actress. This strong family background has no doubt influenced Simar’s aspirations and career choices.
