The Netflix show marks Aryan\u2019s formal entry into films, and while many were surprised that SRK\u2019s son didn\u2019t want to act, the superstar had always maintained that his son wanted to be a filmmaker. In fact, SRK had once revealed that he too was initially interested only in filmmaking and didn\u2019t want to be an actor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Shah Rukh Khan once told Punjab Kesari TV, \u201cHe\u2019s actually not interested in acting. He has a passion for filmmaking. And right now, he\u2019s studying a film production course at USC in Los Angeles. I didn\u2019t ask him to become a filmmaker; in fact, it\u2019s quite strange, because I myself wasn\u2019t interested in acting initially either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">SRK added, \u201cI was more drawn to making films, which is why I studied Mass Communication at Jamia. So Aryan has the same kind of passion. He still has four years left in college, and he\u2019s already making short films there. He\u2019s figuring out on his own what he truly enjoys and where his calling lies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cHe doesn\u2019t even ask me for help; he\u2019s learning everything by himself. Of course, he shows me his work out of love and respect. But beyond that, I want all my kids to discover what they want to do on their own. It might sound odd, but I\u2019ve never asked him whether he wants to be an actor. Maybe his mother or grandmother has, but I haven\u2019t really had that conversation with him,&#8221; SRK had said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">More recently, during the preview of Aryan Khan\u2019s show, SRK formally introduced his son as a filmmaker and said, \u201cI\u2019m deeply grateful to the sacred land of Mumbai, to this country, which has given me 30 years to try and entertain you. Today is a very special day, because on this very same land, my son is now taking his first step. He\u2019s a very good boy, as all fathers believe about their sons, and he\u2019s hardworking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">He added, \u201cAt home, we\u2019ve only taught him a few things: box office success isn\u2019t guaranteed, nor are positive reviews from critics. But giving your 100% through hard work \u2014 that\u2019s the one guarantee you can control. So today, when he stands before you, please clap for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cBut along with those claps, send him a small prayer too. And like I\u2019ve said before, the love you\u2019ve given me over the years \u2014 even if he receives just 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% of that \u2014 if it were anyone else, I would have stopped right there. But if he\u2019s lucky enough to get 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, even 150% of that love, please give it to him,&#8221; Shah Rukh Khan had appealed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kashvi Raj Singh\" title=\"Kashvi Raj Singh\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-04-28-at-13.54.32-2025-04-1a68df873a59d2e9970c8a7e91aa53b7.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/kashvi-raj-singh-27151.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Kashvi Raj Singh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kashvi Raj Singh is a Sub Editor at News18.
