Mahima Chaudhry recently shared heartwarming pictures featuring her daughter, Aryana Mukerhjee, posing with veteran actress Rekha and other Bollywood celebrities at the re-release screening of "Umrao Jaan". The event, held in Mumbai on June 27, 2025, was a star-studded affair, drawing in several generations of Bollywood personalities.

Mahima, accompanied by Aryana and her nephew Ryan, posted behind-the-scenes glimpses from the event on her social media accounts. One of the photos captured a tender moment between Rekha and Aryana, with the legendary actress planting a gentle kiss on Aryana's cheek. This affectionate gesture quickly charmed the internet, highlighting Rekha's fondness for the younger generation. The pictures also included moments with Tabu, Aamir Khan, AR Rahman, Hema Malini, Jackie Shroff, Alia Bhatt, and Asha Bhosle.

Aryana's gesture of touching veteran actor Raj Babbar's feet also garnered significant attention. Dressed in a pastel blue outfit with high heels, Aryana's respectful action was widely praised on social media, with many users appreciating her "sanskaar" (values). Mahima herself also exchanged traditional greetings with Raj Babbar and his family, as did her nephew Ryan. Social media users lauded Mahima for instilling such values in her daughter, with one user commenting, "It's rare to see such sanskaar in today's generation". Others drew comparisons between Aryana and global stars like BLACKPINK's Lisa and Selena Gomez, noting her unique hairstyle and poised appearance.

The "Umrao Jaan" re-release event brought together a diverse group of celebrities, including Aamir Khan, AR Rahman, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Nushrratt Bharucha, Asha Bhosle, and Tabu. The film, directed by Muzaffar Ali, has been restored and re-released, attracting both longtime fans and new audiences.

This isn't the first time Aryana has captured public attention. She recently attended the premiere of Mahima's film "Nadaaniyaan," sparking speculation about a potential Bollywood debut. While there has been no official confirmation, her growing popularity and public appearances have fueled curiosity about whether she will follow in her mother's footsteps. Aryana is the daughter of Mahima Chaudhry and her ex-husband, architect Bobby Mukherjee. Mahima and Bobby married in 2006 and divorced in 2013. Mahima has spoken about ensuring Aryana receives the best education.

Mahima Chaudhry's return to acting with "Nadaaniyaan" marks a comeback for the actress, who has also battled breast cancer and mourned the loss of her mother in recent years. She has expressed her determination to find more opportunities in films and web series, driven by her daughter.
