In Depth Appearance: Standing at 6'1 and weighing a respectable 170lbs, Lucky is one of the tallest men in his family. While Lucky isn't very muscular, having a more lean frame instead (inherited by his mother), its obvious that Lucky keeps himself fit and in good shape by regularly jogging in the mornings before going to school. Lakshya's skin is a warm, golden honey tone with few imperfections. Lucky also has short, dark brown - almost black - hair that is usually gelled and styled up daily. Lucky inherited his father's roundish-almond shaped eyes, a deep shade of brown that is framed with dark, thick lashes.
Lucky prefers to dress comfortably on a daily basis. With limited access to funds, he tends to avoid expensive, designer clothing with large price tags. His clothing is still stylish and modern. He doesn't wear traditional suits (kurtas) very often, only donning it during special occasions. It was more common for him to wear kurtas when he lived in India with his parents, with the media constantly following his and his family's every move. Lakshya also tends to keep his facial hair trimmed and neat - looking more like a stubble.

Lucky is a relatively fun guy to hang around with. He enjoys his fair share of parties and drink just like the next person. He's the type to lend an ear or a shoulder along with the harsh truth, so don't expect sugar-coated words with him. Lucky's confidence in himself and his abilities can come off quite off-putting to those around him, but he doesn't care much for what people have to think about him here.
Lucky's goal to being an actor often clouds the boy's judgement. He doesn't like studying, finding the act to be too boring for him to enjoy the subject. The only subject he excels at is drama and theatre, his love for acting often projected during class. Even though he hates studying, Lakshya makes it a priority to study, no matter what.
Honest to a fault, Lucky's upbringing in a strict and traditional culture vastly different to the one he lives in now has shaped him to be a very honest person. He may be a good actor, but he can't lie in front of those he cares about. His shifty eyes and fidgety demeanour are easy to notice, especially by those who knows him and his personality well enough. Lucky doesn't have much of a filter, often saying it as he sees it. That trait either gains him friends, or scares any potential friends away.
History: Lucky was born in Mumbai, dubbed the city of dreams. Mumbai was the Hollywood of India, all the movies, glam and fame coming right from the city. The Khanna family has always been known in Bollywood, each Khanna famous in their own right. Vikas Khanna was a popular director, while Sanjana Kumar (now Khanna) was an actress. Both were high on the chain, each having multiple successful films and music videos that is still widely popular to this day. It wasn't until Vikas and Sanjana worked together during the filming of 'Janam Janam' where the two finally grew to care for each other romantically, eventually going on to get married in a very high-profile wedding and eventually settle down together where two years later, Lakshya Khanna was born.
Being from a family of wellknown Bollywood stars, the child was expected to follow in his parents' footsteps and join them in the world of Bollywood once he was old enough. It wasn't long before little Lakshya was part of a well-loved franchise, playing the young protagonist and capturing the hearts of many in India. The popularity of the film had raised expectations of everyone from Bollywood and the media, Lakshya (who was now playfully dubbed Lucky in the media) began taking more roles - whether it be from a TV show or a movie. Lucky was ten when Vikas and Sanjana began hiding Lucky from the public's view, wanting the young boy to focus more on his education and life rather than the harsh life of Bollywood, sending him off to a private boarding school in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
For the next seven years, Lucky was under the care of strict teachers and instructors. There, education was the priority - students were only to study and take part in one extracurricular activty (which was usually something related to sports or dance, depending on gender). It didn't matter that Lakshya was the child of two very influential people, only education mattered. Lakshya's love for acting and fame was forced to be supressed, and that was painfully obvious when one would view Lucky's report card. Lakshya never excelled in the classroom, being either average or somewhat good in a handful of subjects - one being drama. During one summer when Lakshya was back home, it was finally decided that he would move to California to live with his aunt, on the condition that if he graduated as one of the top students in his year group, Lucky would be allowed to return to a life of fame and acting. This proved to be a good motivator, as Lucky was packed up and ready to leave that very night.
Now, Lakshya stays with his modest aunt, who owns a small but comfortable cafe. He doesn't have any access to the family funds, driving the young adult to work at his aunt's cafe to pay for the clothes and anything he wants. It's a struggle, but Lakshya is willing to do anything to return to his dream of acting.
