10 saal baad! Naseerudin Shah and Sarika’s kids pair up for a film

It was exactly a decade ago when Naseeruddin Shah and Sarika came together for Rahul Dholakia’s Parzania (2007). The tragic tale had the veteran actors pair up as a grieving couple as their child goes missing. Now, it is their respective children Vivaan and Akshara, who have grown up and are now being seen together as a pair in Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana. This time around too, there is a child involved in the tale, though the story revolves around an unborn child, not a missing one.

 Incidentally, in their younger days, Naseeruddin Shah and Sarika had never paired up. “They were seen in a film called Shart (1986) more than 30 years  ago. However, in that film, Shabana Azmi was the leading lady and Sarika had a supporting role,” adds the source.

“For LKSMLD, the idea was to get an unexposed pair. They were signed at the time Vivaan and Akshara had done Happy New Year and Shamitabh respectively,” our source adds.
