Carving her path
Born into the illustrious Dhawan family, Anjini is the granddaughter of veteran actor Anil Dhawan and niece of Bollywood star Varun Dhawan. But she’s more than a legacy name. With a deep love for cinema, she studied film and worked on sets to understand storytelling beyond performance. Her quiet determination and creative curiosity make her journey refreshing — rooted in heritage yet reaching fearlessly for independence.
Learning from experience
Before stepping in front of the camera, Anjini began behind it — as an assistant director on Coolie No. 1. This experience grounded her in the realities of filmmaking and taught her the value of patience and precision. Observing her uncle Varun’s professionalism gave her perspective. It’s that humility and readiness to learn that set her apart from most star kids chasing overnight fame.
Grace in motion
Anjini’s love for dance mirrors her personality — expressive, balanced, and full of heart. She’s a trained belly dancer who believes movement is storytelling in its purest form. Her discipline and dedication to the art bring both confidence and calmness to her demeanour. Whether performing for joy or expression, she finds power in grace — proving that strength doesn’t always need to shout to be seen.
Creative entrepreneur
Beyond acting, Anjini channels her artistic side into entrepreneurship. She co-founded Label Jiyani, a fashion brand that blends Indian craftsmanship with modern sensibility. Her thoughtful eye for detail and style reflects her belief that creativity has no boundaries. From fabric textures to aesthetic presentation, she’s hands-on in shaping her label’s identity — embodying the spirit of today’s multifaceted woman who balances tradition with innovation effortlessly.
Dreaming with purpose
With her debut film Binny and Family released in 2024, Anjini stepped into the limelight with quiet confidence. She embraced the spotlight gracefully, earning appreciation for her sincerity and screen presence. Rather than chasing quick fame, she focuses on roles that resonate emotionally. Blending grace and grit, she continues building her identity as an individual while honouring the cinematic legacy she carries with heartfelt pride.
