Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan is the new face of Maybelline (VIDEO)

KUALA LUMPUR, Apr 12 — Indian actress Suhana Khan is the new brand ambassador for New York-based cosmetics giant Maybelline.

Suhana, daughter of Bollywood legend Datuk Shah Rukh Khan, was announced as the new face of Maybelline on Apr 10 at her first press meet in Mumbai.

Dressed in a stunning red pantsuit, the 22-year-old exuded a winning combination of charm and confidence when she took to the stage.

"It’s an honour to be the brand ambassador for Maybelline after hoarding so many of their iconic products, especially their mascaras, every one of them is amazing,” she said in her short speech.

"But yeah, I am just super excited and happy to be a part of this brand and I can’t wait to make it shine with all of you. Thank you all for having me.”

As news of Suhana’s first brand endorsement went viral, so did the call outs of her being a nepo-baby.

"This is so biased,” said an Instagram user. "And she looks like Shah Rukh Khan with long hair. (Not beautiful).”

"An illustrious father and mother don’t make you a celebrity,” said another.

But fans of Suhana, who has 3.6 million Instagram followers, rushed to her defence.

"Go girl, ignore the haters,” said one.

"I am so excited to see her ads, she looks so pretty and innocent,” said another.

Suhana studied filmmaking at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts before returning to India in 2021.

She will be making her Bollywood debut in The Archies, directed by Zoya Akhtar and scheduled for release next month.
