Neil Nitin Mukesh shares daughter Nurvi's love for arts and Amitabh Bachchan films

India Today19-05-2025
Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh recently spoke about his daughter Nurvi's budding interest in the arts and her growing admiration for cinema, particularly his own films and those of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. In an exclusive conversation with India Today Digitial, the actor opened up about how his six-year-old is gradually discovering her love for both cinema and music.Speaking about his daughter's hobbies, Neil said, "Currently, she's enjoying cycling and skating. She got really inspired after watching my film 'Lafangey Parindey,' so she wanted to learn skating when she saw her father could do it."advertisementWhile Neil remains mindful of what he allows her to watch, Nurvi has already seen a few of his notable films. "She has watched a few of my films. I was quite shocked when she saw 'New York.' She's also seen 'Hisaab Barabar,' 'Lafangey Parindey,' 'Aa Dekhen Zara' - because there's a camera sequence she found interesting, mainly because of the jungles of Masai Mara," he said.However, not all of Neil's films make it to her watchlist. "I don't show her all my films. Some are intense. For example, when she saw 'New York,' she felt a bit overwhelmed. She watched a bit of 'Players' and got very upset in the end because my character gets shot."Neil also shared that his daughter has already found her screen idol. "She's a huge Amitabh Bachchan fan—and I'm so glad that her first screen idol is Mr. Bachchan. It's amazing how he continues to inspire generation after generation. She enjoys watching a lot of his films with me. We've seen classics like 'Sholay' and 'Satte Pe Satta' together."advertisement'Among the current generation of actors, she doesn't have a particular favourite; she just enjoys movies in general,' he added.When asked if he sees Nurvi following in his footsteps, Neil said, "Will she follow in my footsteps? I don't know. She's a free bird. But I do see an inclination towards the arts. She sings well, she's learning Kathak and training with a vocal teacher. She's just six but already passionate about music and dance. So I just pray to God that she continues to carry forward the Mukesh family legacy in some way."Neil Nitin Mukesh's latest web series, 'Hai Junoon!', is currently streaming on JioHotstar.Must Watch
