Ahan Shetty – Meet the aspiring Military Man turned Actor!

With rave reviews constantly pouring in, Ahan Shetty has become the man of the hour! In an exciting interview, Tapasvi Vibhute speaks to the freshly minted star kid on his debut and the goals ahead.

One of the most promising debuts of this year has been that of Ahan Shetty. 2021 saw him make his official entry into the industry with the Milan Luthria film Tadap. The entire Shetty clan, right from Suniel, to Athiya, to now Ahan, have been doing wonders on the work front. Post his debut film’s release, the newest Shetty on the block has received great reviews from the audience. We roped him in for an exclusive interview to talk about his experience working on his debut film, the family’s reactions and much more!

What was the response like from your family on your debut film?

Their reaction was very emotional. Mom was emotional, Dad was happy, Athiya was also happy. So overall it was a great response. 

Many say you resemble your father a lot. Do you agree?

A lot. I’m my father’s son, so I do have a lot of traits like him, but my mom gets slightly upset when someone says “Oh, you look like your father.” But I am glad, and those comparisons are going to keep coming up, but I take them as a compliment. Which son wouldn’t want to be like his father? 

Do you think there is pressure on you, as you are the son of a well-known actor?

No, I feel like you should not take that pressure. Don’t let it get inside your head because once you do, you lose your sense of self. 

Did superstar father Suniel Shetty give you any tips before your journey into the industry?

When I realized that I wanted to be an actor, he told me, “If you aren’t known as a good actor, that’s okay, just be known as a good human being.” That struck me! That’s how I try to live my life. 

What have you learned from your mother? 

Mom has always been an incredible support system for me. She has been a part of the industry while also not being a part of the industry. We live in town, so dad too is a part of the industry while not being a part of it. We have always lived a secluded lifestyle, not like going to Bollywood parties but we have always been outside. I was in the American School of Bombay, so no one cared who my father was. So that was a good thing for me. My mom also knows nothing about the industry and that was great. I think when you get home, you need to cut yourself off from Bollywood. In terms of personality, I am completely like my mom. We have the same amount of innocence and patience and on the other hand, Athiya and Dad are the same.

You are known to be inclined towards sports and music. What made you choose actig?

I wanted to join the army. I joined drama when I was in the 6th grade, but I wanted to join the army. When I started investing more time in dramatics, it became therapeutic for me. I started to express my emotions which I was hiding. It was mentally very beneficial for me, and I enjoyed doing it. Music is my hobby which could be used in films. My dad is an actor and after watching him, I wanted to get into films. 

Do you have a particular friend circle within the industry?

I don’t interact much but as I play football, I have met with Ranbir Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor, and Kartik Aaryan. We play together. I have known Ibrahim since I was a kid. So, I meet them here and there. 

As Tara Sutaria is a senior to you, what was your first meeting like?

I met her first for the screen test. We had to do some romantic scenes from the film The Dirty Picture. I had to stand close to her and my legs were shaking; I was very nervous. Sajid sir still makes fun of me for the same. Tara never bossed me around in any way. 

You are gentle with your fans so will this be continued when you become an actor?

Of course. You must always remember your roots even after getting stardom. You shouldn’t let that enter your brain. You can’t change the way you behave with people, especially when you get fame.

Aamir Khan Exclusive Interview With Lipika Varma

I’m a Loyalist of Cinema: Aamir Khan Fresh off the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan opens up about his enduring love for cinema, why he champions children’s stories, and how he balances personal evolution with creative instincts. In an exclusive interaction, he also speaks candidly about declaring his relationship with Gauri and the stability she brings into his life. In this heartfelt conversation, Aamir reflects on movies, meaning, and moments, with LIPIKA VARMA capturing it all. Excerpts- How do you feel when your film is on the verge of being released? Whenever my film is on the verge of being released, the feeling is like a father of a newborn child, though we cannot compare our feelings to a mother of a newborn child. But when my films are released, I feel the same nervousness and excitement as a father. The more excited you are, the more you contemplate whether your film is good, and then the nervousness grows if people will like it or not. I always get nervous whenever my films are on the release. Why are children’s films made in lesser numbers in Bollywood? Yes, it’s sad that the Hindi film industry is making very few children’s films. According to my thought process, the industry feels there is no market for children’s films. I disagree with this. We have so many children in this country, of course, they watch films! But sadly, many end up watching Western films dubbed in Hindi. We must take responsibility as filmmakers and create more meaningful stories for our children. Will you make more children’s films? I have decided to make children’s films even in the future. Kids are the future pillars of our country. They need to be sensitive, caring, and empathetic. Our films touch them in ways to
