In B-Town, acting is something that runs in the blood. Almost all star kids are bitten by the 'acting bug' - Ranbir, Sonakshi, Sonam...but there are lesser known ones too. Take a look

Meet Alia Bhatt. Mahesh Bhatt's daughter Alia is a big girl now and she will be making her debut with Karan Johar's Student of The Year.

We spotted Namrata Dutt along with her daughters Saachi and Siya at Sanjay Dutt's birthday bash.

Namrata who is married to Kumar Gaurav who is the son of Rajendra 'Jubilee' Kumar. We had spotted Saachi a couple of months back at Shilpa Shetty's baby shower. Click on for more pictures of star kids.

We spotted Saachi, (the pretty girl in the middle in a white top), Namrata Dutt and Kumar Gaurav's daughter along with Manyaata Dutt at Shilpa Shetty's baby shower. Given that the Dutt women stay away from Bollywood and Sanjay Dutt recently saying he would not allow his own daughter to act, we wonder what career Saachi would pursue. A look at other celeb kids.

We spotted this lil girl in a white salwar kameez during the prayer meeting held for Rajesh Khanna.

She is the late actor Rajesh Khanna's daughter Rinke's lil girl. We do not know her name, but we wonder if she will ever consider acting after she grows up.

There is a new star kid in B-Town raring to take the showbiz plunge. Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya, all of 18, is making heads turn with her traffic-stopper looks and the buzz is that it is only a matter of time before she makes her Bollywood debut. The buzz about Athiya gearing up for a Bollywood debut has also gained ground because dad Suniel was spotted having a chat with Ranbir Kapoor a few days ago.

Athiya recently returned from the US after finishing a course in filmmaking and liberal arts at the New York Film Academy. Two years ago, Suniel and his wife Mana had visited the US to choose the best university for their daughter's admission. Reported to be strict parents, the Shettys were extremely watchful about their daughter's education. Now that she is back, they are said to be planning Athiya's Bollywood..

Athiya has a younger brother named Aahan Shetty.

Saif and Amrita's daughter Sara did a cover shot with mom in January. While many speculated that it was her first outing to the world of glitz and glamour, Sara was quoted as saying she wanted to go to Yale and for higher studies.

Don't mistake him for Ranbir Kapoor. Boney Kapoor's son Arjun has a striking resemblance to Ranbir. Arjun Kapoor, has become slimmer now under the guidance of Salman Khan and has also acted in a movie.
