"I feel her passing through me all the time," she told Oprah Winfrey.
Asked if she will follow her mother into show business, the teenager said: "I have to carry on the legacy ... We're gonna do the singing thing. Some acting, some dancing."
"It's a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it," she added.

Big B sings Tagore song
Ekla Chalo Re, a famous Bengali song written by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore from his collection of songs Rabindra Sangeet and sung by Bollywood's Amitabh Bachchan, has proved to be a major highlight of the Sujoy Ghosh-directed Kahaani, currently screening in the UAE.
The song, used widely during the Indian independence movement as a patriotic tune, appears in crucial scenes in the film, which features the actress Vidya Balan as a pregnant woman in search of her missing husband in Kolkata.
After recording the song, Bachchan blogged: "May I just say that singing Rabindra Sangeet for the first time was the greatest revelation. The beauty of the language and the lyricism of the tune are outstanding. Singing the track today, you discover how inadequate you are to handle something created by Tagore."
