\"DidShah Rukh Khan proudly supports his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut with the web series “The Ba***ds of Bollywood.” An old interview reveals SRK’s initial filmmaking aspirations, mirroring Aryan’s passion. At the launch, SRK expressed gratitude and hope for his son’s success, emphasizing hard work over guaranteed outcomes. The series features a star-studded cast and cameos from Bollywood’s biggest names. Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> is one proud dad today as his son Aryan Khan<\/a> finally makes his big directorial debut in Bollywood with his web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Amid this, Shah Rukh’s old interview has resurfaced, in which he spoke about how he too once wanted to be a director.<\/p>\n

Shah Rukh reveals Aryan\u2019s passion for filmmaking<\/p>\n

In an old conversation with Punjab Kesari TV, SRK shared, \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, on fact, it\u2019s quite strange, because I myself wasn\u2019t interested in acting initially either. I 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. He 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shah Rukh Khan Poses With Paparazzi, Aryan Khan Captures The Moment<\/p>\n

An emotional moment at Aryan\u2019s launch<\/p>\n

Last month, at the preview launch of The Ba***ds of Bollywood in Mumbai, Shah Rukh Khan proudly introduced Aryan as a filmmaker for the first time. He said, “I\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. At 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. But 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 percent of that love, please give it to him.\u201dThe series stars Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Gautami Kapoor, Mona Singh, and Rajat Bedi in pivotal roles. The series also includes cameos by some of Bollywood\u2019s biggest stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan<\/a>, Aamir Khan<\/a>, Kareena Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shah Rukh Khan proudly supports his son Aryan Khan’s directorial debut with the web series “The Ba***ds of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[10111,3771,48095,434,18,117,11196,19,17,3825,3325,3770,49977,49978,6960],"class_list":{"0":"post-72912","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-aamir-khan","9":"tag-aryan-khan","10":"tag-aryan-khan-directorial-debut","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-gauri-khan","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-ranveer-singh","18":"tag-salman-khan","19":"tag-shah-rukh-khan","20":"tag-srk-aryan-khan","21":"tag-srk-director","22":"tag-the-bads-of-bollywood"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
