Anjini Dhawan, the newest face from the Dhawan family, is all set to make her Bollywood debut with the buzzworthy film Binny and Family.
Born on April 4, 2000, Anjini comes from a strong Bollywood lineage, her grandfather is the veteran actor Anil Dhawan, and her father, Siddharth Dhawan is cousin of actor Varun Dhawan. Given her background, it’s almost expected that Anjini would eventually find her way into the world of cinema.
Before diving into her acting career, Anjini got her feet wet in the industry by working as an assistant director on the sets of Coolie No. 1 (2020), where her cousin Varun Dhawan was the star. This experience wasn’t just about watching from the sidelines; it was a hands-on learning process that showcased her commitment to understanding the filmmaking process from behind the scenes. And it looks like this approach has only added to the growing excitement around her first on-screen role.
Anjini is no stranger to the limelight, though. On Instagram, she’s already made a name for herself with over 262K followers, sharing a mix of fashion, travel, and dance content that has made her a familiar face to many. But with her Bollywood debut, she’s stepping into an entirely different kind of spotlight. Fans are eager to see if her online charm translates into success on the big screen.
Binny and Family, a family drama that dives into generational differences within a traditional setup, sees Anjini playing the undisciplined Binny. The film, directed by Ssanjay Tripaathi, has been generating quite a bit of buzz. Karan Johar even praised Anjini’s performance, calling the film a “gem” that made him “cry, laugh, and feel like sunshine.” His glowing endorsement has only added to the anticipation surrounding the film.
Of course, with any debut from a star kid, there’s bound to be some skepticism. The ever-present debate on nepotism in Bollywood has led some to question whether Anjini’s landing the role is more about her connections than her talent. Yet, despite these concerns, there’s genuine excitement about the film’s relatable storyline, and many are curious to see how Anjini will bring her character to life.
The trailer has sparked mixed reactions some are drawn to its focus on generational battles, while others are cautiously optimistic, wondering if the film will offer something fresh or stick to the typical Bollywood stories.
As Binny and Family gears up for its release, all eyes are on Anjini Dhawan. Will she do well and make a name for herself in Bollywood?
