We've all heard about Bollywood stars and their siblings -- the ones that aren't professionally associated with the film industry, the ones who prefer to work behind the scenes and the cousins, who double up as their contemporaries.
This Raksha Bandhan, we decided to round up the next generation of star kids, who look poised to take over from their illustrious parents in due time.
Take a look.
Samaira and Kiaan Raj Kapoor
Karisma and Delhi-based industrialist Sanjay Kapur's kids -- eight-year-old Samaira and three-year-old Kian Raj Kapoor -- will soon be old enough to carry on their prolific filmi family's legacy forward.
Ira and Junaid Khan

Aamir Khan's kids from his first marriage with Reena Dutta, Ira and Junaid are regular fixtures at the clan's many widely-covered get-togethers.
While the siblings will have an instant advantage over their peers should they decide to make a living in films, only time will tell if they're bitten by that proverbial bug.
Suhana and Aryan Khan

Raveena Tandon's kids are less photographed than her contemporaries' offspring but given the gene pool they come from -- Raveena's father Ravi Tandon is a filmmaker while several of her cousins have dabbled in acting -- will showbiz be far behind for long?
