Global icon Priyanka Chopra recently shared a heartwarming video on Instagram featuring her daughter Malti Marie Jonas walking hand-in-hand with another little girl. In the caption, she wrote, “Our daughters are best friends.” The adorable moment instantly caught fans’ attention — especially when it was revealed who the other child was.

The girl walking with Malti is none other than Ayat Sharma, daughter of Arpita Khan (Salman Khan’s sister) and Aayush Sharma. That makes Ayat Salman Khan’s niece — and interestingly, her birthday (27 December 2019) is the same as Salman’s.

Priyanka and Arpita share a long-standing friendship, which continues to thrive despite Priyanka’s move abroad. Arpita even reshared the video, responding, “It’s always nice to meet you, Priyanka. This time it was fun spending time with Malti.”

A Flashback to “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi”

The article also revisits the 2004 hit film Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, where Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar hilariously vied for Priyanka Chopra’s attention, repeatedly asking her, “Will you marry me?” The film was a commercial success and became one of the most iconic love triangles in Bollywood.

Though Salman and Priyanka reportedly had a fallout when she exited his film Bharat, it seems there’s no bitterness on the family front — Arpita and Priyanka continue to share a warm bond, which now extends to their daughters.
