FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above posts and found that the claim is FAKE.
On putting the picture through Reverse Image Search, we found a similar picture on Bollywood actor Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan’s verified Instagram handle.

On checking the tags, we found that the girl on the left is Zayn Khan, Aamir Khan’s niece.

Moreover, Javed Akhtar has only one daughter- Zoya Akhtar.
Hence, the above information proves that girls in the viral picture are not Javed Akhtar’s daughter.
