New Delhi: There are many couples of siblings in the film industry. From Chiranjeevi-Pawan Kalyan to Shruti Haasan, Akshara Haasan… This list is very long. If your background is good then it is easy to get in films at an early age. However, the sister of a star hero entered acting at the age of 57. She is none other than Aamir Khan’s sister Nikhat Khan. She has worked with Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan. Born in a Muslim family, Nikhat is married to a Hindu.
Nikhat Khan made her Bollywood debut in 2019 with the film ‘Mission Mangal’ at the age of 57. He played an important role in this science drama starring Akshay Kumar. This film based on the inspirational story of ISRO scientists was a super hit at the box office. Nikhat’s acting got the best points. He then worked with Ajay Devgan in ‘Tanhaji’ in 2020, ‘Pathan’ with Shah Rukh Khan in 2023 and ‘L2: Emopuran’ with Mohanlal in 2025. This Malayalam film set the record for the highest grossing film in that language. Nikhat is impressing film lovers by acting in different types of characters.
Film background comes out of the background
Nikhat Khan was born on 4 August 1962 to famous producers Tahir Hussain and Zeenat Hussain. His siblings are Aamir Khan, Faisal Khan and Farhat Khan. Aamir is the largest among them. Aamir became a Bollywood superstar. But Faisal could not achieve success in films. Nikhat’s father Tahir Hussain made hit films like ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’. Although Nikhat entered Bollywood late, his acting shocked everyone.
Nikhat Khan is married to Hindu businessman Santosh Hegde, who is his second wife. Santosh worked as CEO of Billcare Research Company in Pune. He has a daughter named Sehar Hegde. Santosh also has a son named Shravan Hegde from his first marriage. Amir Khan recently denied the allegations of love jihad against the film ‘PK’ in an interview. He reminded that his second sister Farhat married Rajiv Dutta and Aamir’s daughter Ira married Nupur Shikhar.
Also known for family values
Nikhat Khan is known for her acting as well as her family values. Their marriage and family life promotes social harmony. Aamir Khan used Nikhat’s marriage as an example in the promotion of his film ‘Stars Zameen Par’. In 2024, Ira Khan’s marriage also became a symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity. Even though Nikhat has played small roles in films, his presence gives a strong message. She is actively working in films even at the age of 62. His life is a good example that you can start a new journey at any age.
