Hook: Simar Bhatia — Akshay Kumar's niece and one of the fresh faces from the war drama Ikkis — just served a cheeky, perfectly-timed reply to Bollywood's Karan Johar that had the internet smiling and instantly trending. [1] Simar's viral exchange started after Karan Johar reshared the final trailer of Ikkis on his social handle and praised the newcomers, giving them a warm shout-out[1]. Simar thanked him — and then asked, with adorable candor, "Phir mujhe Dharma ka picture kyun nahin diya?" — a playful nudge at why she hasn't been cast in a Dharma Productions film, which immediately won hearts online[1]. Why this moment matters - It showcases Simar's effortless charm and quick wit, qualities that help a debutante stand out in a crowded industry[1]. - The exchange also highlights the modern publicity loop: established filmmakers amplifying new talent, while those newcomers use humor and personality to make their own mark[1]. - Ikkis itself is already drawing attention — the film centers on the Battle of Basantar and features Agastya Nanda as Arun Khetarpal, with veteran actors contributing to a high-profile ensemble — so moments like Simar's reply add human interest and shareable soundbites to the film's promotions[1]. What to expect from Simar and Ikkis - Simar plays Kiran, the love interest in a story that pays tribute to a young Param Vir Chakra awardee, giving her a meaningful debut role within a historically significant narrative[1]. - The film is positioned as a notable launchpad for new actors while also connecting to Bollywood legacy names, which increases curiosity about the performances and the film's emotional core[1]. Engage with the moment - Do you think Simar's witty reply could help nudge filmmakers to cast her in bigger projects? - Are playful, candid interactions like this useful promotion — or should newcomers let their work speak first?
