Karisma
Kapoor's
15-year-old
daughter,
Samaira
is
following
in
her
mother's
footsteps.
The
star
kid,
who
has
managed
to
stay
away
from
the
limelight,
was
recently
seen
in
a
short
film
titled,
Daud.
What's
more
surprising
is,
the
short
film
is
written
and
directed
by
Chunky
Panday's
younger
daughter
and
actor
Ananya
Panday's
sister,
Rysa
Panday.
Daud
follows
the
story
of
a
young
girl
from
the
slums
of
Mumbai,
who
dreams
of
becoming
a
professional
athlete
but
her
current
circumstances
won't
allow
it.
The
seven-and-a-half-minute
film
also
stars
actor
Sanjay
Kapoor's
younger
son,
Jahaan
Kapoor,
alongside
Samaira
and
Dhaniti
Parekh,
who
help
the
young
girl
buy
shoes
and
encourage
her
to
follow
her
dream.
Samaira
has
also
been
part
of
another
film
before
Daud.
She
also
donned
the
director's
hat
while
acting
in
the
short
film,
Be
Happy
at
the
age
of
10.
The
short
film
was
screened
at
the
International
Children's
Film
Festival
of
India
in
the
'Little
Directors'
category,
back
in
2015.
Coming
back
to
Daud,
according
to
reports,
Chunky
Panday
has
produced
Rysa's
debut
short
film
and
cousin
Ahaan
Panday
also
helped
the
direction
team.
On
the
other
hand,
Karisma
is
also
returning
to
the
screen
and
recently
made
her
digital
debut
with
Alt
Balaji
web
series,
Mentalhood.
The
show
follows
Karisma
playing
a
former
beauty
pageant
winner
and
mother
of
three
schoolgoing
children.
It
also
stars
Dino
Morea,
Shruti
Seth,
Sandhya
Mridul,
Sanjay
Suri,
Shilpa
Shukla
and
Tillotama
Shome.
