 Also spotted was a little girl who looked remarkably like Twinkle's sister Rinke's daughter.

 Kangna spent a few moments in the public eye with her mother.

 Kangna says her mother would have married her off at 16, if she was given a chance.

 Shivangi and Shraddha Kapoor caught in a moment.

 Ayesha Takia may not be the most famous Bollywood star but her appeal lies in her adorable personality and her winning smile.

 It's no secret that Ayesha and her sister Natasha are close to their mom Farida. In fact, the three are often spotted hanging out together like gal pals. Reportedly, their father Nishit Takia was reportedly not even invited to his daughter Ayesha's wedding in 2009.

 Which is why when we saw this rare family moment, it was a shocker. Ayesha's father Nishit Takia, who has almost never been seen with his family was spotted pally as can be with Ayesha and his son-in-law Farhan.

 Even more stunning was when the four of them agreed to pose together. Despite any of their past unpleasantness, the Takia's look like a family. What's not to love about that? Forgive and forget we say!

 We spotted Sachin Tendulkar's wife Anjali and their daughter Sara during a recent event. Sara looked every bit a lil style diva in the making. So, we decided to give you a couple of more pictures of Sara.

This is one of the first photos we have of lil Sara. Surprisingly it is not with her pappa Sachin, but along with Saurav Ganguly and his lil girl Sana.

This festive season go all-out traditional

While most B-town celebs step out in designer gowns and
trendy dresses, few of them have fallen for the traditional charm of
the sari! Take a look!

"Nowadays
synthetics have became an important part in every woman's wardrobe and
the kanjeevaram is sidelined. I hope with Vidya Balan reviving
hand-woven and khadi textiles, a new trend will emerge in the form of
kanjeevaram and silk saris. The Indian figure looks best in traditional
Indian saris and it's very important for girls to realise that,"
designer Ritu Kumar said.

While most B-town actresses step
out in gowns, designer dresses and even saris made of net, georgette
and chiffon, Vidya flaunts ethnic weaves and fabrics, helping her stand
out. "I think there are just a few actresses who are trying kanjeevaram
saris and the list includes Vidya Balan, Rekha and some veterans. I
want young girls to understand that dignity makes them better stars
rather than exposing their body," Mukherjee, whose creations are
dominated by ethnic Indian weaves, told IANS.

He feels Vidya's newfound fame
can single-handedly bring hand-woven saris back in vogue. "I feel proud
that Vidya chooses my creations for most of her events. Keeping her
success rate in mind, I'm sure she will bring back the hand-woven sari
era. For me, Western wear is not a sustainable market as it lacks mass
appeal because most Indian girls are voluminous. Western clothes are
good for a multiplex audience, not for a simple Indian girl. It's time
to make pan-India clothes," he said.

He is right as the leading
ladies of Indian cinema play a major role in starting a trend. Rani
Mukerji's colourful kurtis and pyjamas in "Bunty Aur Babli" or Kareena
Kapoor's t-shirt and patiala salwar in "Jab We met" were instantly
copied by the masses.

"Be it silk or cotton, as long
as it is woven, it's classic. These saris are simple, time-tested and
increasingly rare, and this makes it more special. People are not aware
of the options in hand-woven textiles that have the potential to look as
glamorous as Western wear. They can be plain, zardozi, gota patti,
phulkari, bandhni or leheriya.""Be it silk or cotton, as long as it is

kanjeevaram need attention in today's time," she said.

"Bollywood divas are followed by
commoners in every walk of life and if they can imitate the Western
line, why not an Indian line? I still remember the day when Hollywood
supermodel Noami Campbell walked for one of my shows in Mumbai; she
deliberately wanted to wear a black chanderi sari and she did that
gracefully. So, yes, a small effort can add value to people's mindset,"
concluded designer Madhu Jain.

 We spotted her dribbling away alongside her macho son John, for a promotional event dedicated to mothers.

 John and his brother Alan are both close to their parents.

 The actor and his mother are seen here, enjoying a moment. Awww, Johnny boy, you really can make hearts break.

 Saif never misses a chance to spend some quality time with his kids. Seen here with his daughter Sara. Saif's daughter wants to enter Bollywood. Saif, however had a word of advice for her lil one - to lose some weight!

 It's not often that celebrities open up about their private lives, especially when it is the Bachchans we are talking about. Which is why when Abhishek tweeted this picture of his sister and him with their father, Amitabh Bachchan, we were caught by surprise. Says AB Jr, "That’s my sister and me with @SrBachchan chalo, who can guess on the set of which of dad’s films this is taken?"

 The Khiladi and his family were spotted coming out of a movie theatre.

 Akshay's son Aarav was spotted with Twinkle and Rinke's daughter.

 Aarav looked ready to avoid the cameras, unlike his father.

 While Aarav was dressed comfortably, we can't say much for Akshay Kumar's dressing sense!

After a long while, Twinkle Khanna stepped out, leaving daughter Nitara at home. As was to be expected, Twinkle nailed the yummy mummy look.
