When Juhi Chawla named her daughter Jhanvi, she called up late Sridevi to inform her that their daughters share similar names. Now, we have come across one more actor who, too, was inspired by the name of a starkid. The actor being Samir Soni, who named his daughter Ahana, after being inspired by Hema Malini’s daughter Ahana.

Sharing the story, Samir says, “I met Ahana before I worked with her mother in Baghban (2003). Actually, Dia Mirza, Ahana and I went for the same pottery classes. So, when I met Hema- ji’s daughter, it was the first ever time I heard the name ‘Ahana’. I really liked the sound of it.” He adds, “So, when my wife, Neelam, insisted that we name our daughter with the letter ‘A’, I suggested that we call her Ahana. I didn’t know what it meant, so I looked for it and figured that it meant the first ray of the sun.”

Samir also adds that Ahana has been a fan of his wife and former actress Neelam. “Ahana would sit on her lap when she was a kid,” he recalls.
