After making his Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar-helmed Netflix movie The Archies in December 2022, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda officially joined Instagram on January 11.

The young actor shared a picture of himself for his first social media post without a caption. He gained 29.5k followers within a day of creating his Instagram account. His bio reads, “Second Times The Charm.”

Bollywood celebrities Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Zoya Akhtar welcomed Agastya to the social media fold on his Instagram debut.

The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director shared a screenshot of Agastya’s account on his Instagram stories, requesting the 23-year-old to follow him and others in the industry. “Aggie in the insta jungle!!! Welcome @agastyanandaa. Can you also follow us?” wrote Karan.

While Arjun Kapoor welcomed Agastya by affectionately addressing him as ‘Aggy boy’, Zoya commented, “Hello there (accompanied by a heart symbol).”

Gauri Khan, mother of Agastya’s The Archies co-star Suhana Khan, also sent virtual hugs to Agastya. Another of Agastya’s co-stars from movie, Aditi Saigal, wrote, “Welcome to the dark side.”

Agastya’s mother Shweta Bachchan and sister Navya Naveli Nanda also welcomed Agastya to the social media platform. The actor’s uncle, Abhishek Bachchan, reacted to his first post with a hug emoji.

The actor will next be seen in Sriram Raghavan’s Ekkis. Touted as a biopic of the 1971 war hero Arun Khetarpal, Ekkis will also feature Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat in important roles.
