One would expect that the son of the ‘King of Bollywood’ would be a natural actor and would jump to work in the film industry whenever given a chance. Because that’s what we’ve seen most star kids do. But Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan seems to be wanting to stand behind the camera instead of being in front of it.

Back in 2019, SRK revealed to David Letterman that Aryan may not become an actor because he doesn’t have what it takes to become an actor, and Aryan apparently realises it. But surprisingly, junior Khan is a good writer.
“He (Aryan) doesn’t have what it takes to be an actor and he realises that too but he’s a good writer… I think wanting to be an actor has to come from within. He came to me and said, ‘I don’t think I want to act.’ His issue was – which is think is practical and honest – he said, ‘Every time I’ll be compared to you… and I don’t want to be in that position’,” SRK had said.
As it turns out, Aryan Khan is a talented director with immense scope and opportunity. And the prince has made his directorial debut – an advertisement for his luxury streetwear brand D’yavol X, which features both SRK and Aryan.
The advertisement dropped on social media recently and it’s way too cool. Firstly, Aryan Khan looks exactly like his father. Even his expressions, eye twitches and basically the entire body language scream SRK. And that background music tho!
And secondly, it’s a pretty badass video. Here’s a look:

Several people online were all hearts over the video. Many of them thought that Aryan has the potential to be a strong actor and an even better director. Here’s a look at some of the responses:
