Shakya Akhtar, the 25-year-old daughter of actor–filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and celebrated hairstylist Adhuna Bhabani, is making headlines for her impressive achievements outside the entertainment spotlight. A 2023 graduate of Lancaster University in England, Shakya has carved her own path, earning admiration from her family for her intellect and determination.
Her aunt, acclaimed director Zoya Akhtar, once affectionately dubbed her the “smartest in the clan” — a title that reflects not just academic success, but also her sharp mind, independent spirit, and thoughtful perspective on life. Despite belonging to one of Bollywood’s most creative families, Shakya has chosen to keep a low profile, focusing on her education and personal growth rather than stepping into the limelight.
Known among family and friends for her wit, curiosity, and grounded personality, Shakya represents a new generation of celebrity kids who are defined more by their individual accomplishments than their famous lineage. While she remains private about her future plans, her achievements so far suggest she’s destined to make an impact in whichever field she chooses.
With her intelligence, global education, and strong values, Shakya Akhtar truly embodies the “smartest in the clan” title — and her journey is only just beginning.
