MUMBAI: The past few years of Bollywood saw a bunch of star kids stepping into the film world. While some star kids’ career took off on a high note and are quite popular, some couldn’t impress the viewers. And among an array of star-kids, Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan remains to be popular even though he has not stepped into the acting world. Aryan, who is currently pursuing higher education in the US, is reportedly all set to sign his first film soon. However, Shah Rukh has always denied such reports. Addressing this myth about Aryan, SRK during a media interaction revealed that his son isn't interested in acting but is currently studying filmmaking. The actor further added that Aryan had a practical reason for not stepping into acting as he felt that the comparison that will take place in future isn't manageable and he doesn't want to be in a position to be recognized for his father's work rather than his own.
Shah Rukh quoted, "My son is here at USC in LA. He is learning how to make films. My daughter is coming here to study at NYU. My son doesn’t want to act and I don’t think he can. But in India, it is like ‘if you are a movie star’s son, then you might become a movie star.’ He looks nice, he is tall but I don’t think he has what it takes perhaps and he realized it himself. But he is a good writer. I think wanting to become an actor has to come from within. It is something that you really feel like doing and wanting to do and then find a set of skills or learn it. I think I realised it from him when he said that. He came and said, ‘I don’t think I want to act’. And his issue was very practical and honest. He told, ‘Every time I’ll be compared to you. So if do well, it will not be because of the skills I got, it will be ‘Oh obviously, he is his son so he will do well'. If I don’t do well, it’ll always be, ‘My God, look at him what his father did and look at him, what is he doing’’. So he said ‘I don’t want to be in that position.’”
Well, we totally agree with Aryan and we love how Shah Rukh is being supportive to his son.
What do you think? Should Aryan act or not? Tell us in the comments.
