Meet Nikhat Hegde: All About Aamir Khan's Sister Who Starred in 'Pathaan'

During a recent appearance on 'The Kapil Sharma Show,' Aamir Khan surprised everyone by revealing an interesting fact about his elder sister, Nikhat Hegde, according to SheThePeople. Aamir shared that Nikhat had a role in the hit film 'Pathaan,' where she delivered the iconic line "From now on, you are Pathaan" to Shah Rukh Khan's character.

Who Is Nikhat Hegde?

While her connection to Aamir Khan might have brought her into the limelight, Nikhat Hegde is a talented individual in her own right, as reported by SheThePeople. She has produced several notable films like 'Tum Mere Ho,' 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke,' 'Madhosh,' and the critically acclaimed 'Lagaan.'

Nikhat has also made her mark as an actress, appearing in movies such as 'Mission Mangal,' 'Saand Ki Aankh,' 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior,' and web series like 'Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Storey,' 'Guilty Minds,' and 'Hush Hush,' according to IMDb.

Nikhat Hegde: More Than Aamir's Sister

Nikhat's involvement in the entertainment industry is no surprise, as she comes from a family with a rich artistic legacy, as mentioned by SheThePeople. Her late uncle, Nasir Hussain, and cousin, Mansoor Khan, have made significant contributions to Bollywood as producers and directors.

The family's connections extend beyond the film industry, with ties to prominent figures like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a scholar and close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, and politician Najma Heptulla, who is Nikhat's cousin, as stated by SheThePeople.

Despite her famous family connections, Nikhat Hegde is known for her humility, according to SheThePeople. As Kapil Sharma mentioned, she never introduces herself as Aamir Khan's sister, preferring to let her work speak for itself.

At 62 years old, Nikhat's recent appearance on Kapil Sharma's show might have introduced her to a wider audience, but her dedication to her craft and her contributions to the world of cinema have been long-standing, as reported by SheThePeople.
