Looks like Agastya Nanda was a born performer and her sister Navya Naveli Nanda can surely vouch for it. The first song from Agastya Nanda's upcoming debut film The Archies was released on Thursday. In the song titled Sunoh, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan's grandson, who plays Archie in the film, can be seen playing a guitar and singing in a band. Hours after the video hit the Internet, Agastya's elder sibling Navya Naveli Nanda, while performing her sister duties, treated her fans to a throwback video of little Agastya singing, dancing and having a gala time with a guitar in his hand. Navya's post is too adorable to miss. She captioned the post , "Been Rockin' and Rollin' for a while Archie."
Navya's post received big love from her mom Shweta Bachchan as she commented, "Ahahahahahaha. I remember this, adorable." Agastya's co-star Suhana Khan wrote, "OMG," while his director Zoya Akhtar wrote, "Meant to be."
Take a look at the adorable post below:

Sunoh has been composed by Ankur Tewari and The Islanders. The lyrics were written by Zoya's father, Javed Akhtar, and Dot, who is also part of the film. Take a look at the video here:
