Aryan Khan, the eldest son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and producer Gauri Khan, is carving his own path in the entertainment industry. For years, he was known primarily as a star kid, but now, he is making a name for himself as a director, screenwriter, and entrepreneur. With his much-anticipated directorial debut on the horizon, Aryan has recently surprised fans by also stepping into the world of music.
Biography: A Path to the Director's Chair
Born on November 12, 1997, Aryan Khan's upbringing was
steeped in the world of filmmaking. He attended Sevenoaks School in Kent,
England, and later graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film and
television production from the University of Southern California’s School of
Cinematic Arts. This formal education provided him with a strong foundation in
the craft of storytelling and production.
Beyond his career, Aryan has also faced intense public
scrutiny. In 2021, he was arrested in a high-profile drug case, which he was
later cleared of all charges from. This experience has been referenced in his
recent work, showing a maturity and willingness to address his own life through
his art.
Filmography: A New Kind of Debut
Unlike his father, who became a screen legend as an actor,
Aryan has chosen to build his career behind the camera. His filmography
includes:
- As
a Child Actor: A brief appearance in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
(2001) as the younger version of his father's character.
- Voice
Artist: He has lent his voice to several animated characters,
including Dash in the Hindi dub of The Incredibles (2004),
and more recently, as Simba in the Hindi versions of The Lion
King (2019) and Mufasa: The Lion King (2024).
His most significant project to date is his directorial
debut, the Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. The show, which
he also wrote and served as the showrunner for, is a satirical take on the
Hindi film industry. It has already generated massive buzz due to its
star-studded cast, including Bobby Deol, and a list of A-list cameos from the
likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, a cinematic coup that
fans are calling "what Bollywood failed to achieve."
The Entrepreneur and Now a Singer
In 2022, Aryan co-founded the company Slab Ventures and
launched D'yavol, a luxury brand that includes apparel and a line of
premium liquor. He also directed the brand's advertisement, which featured his
father, marking his first official directorial work. This business venture
showcases his ambition beyond traditional filmmaking.
Adding a new feather to his cap, Aryan Khan recently made
his singing debut. He collaborated with Diljit Dosanjh on the song "Tenu
Ki Pata" for his show's soundtrack, a move that surprised and delighted
his fans. The song, a high-energy track, features Aryan's voice and further
establishes his versatile talent.
As The Bads of Bollywood is set to premiere on
Netflix on September 18, 2025, the world will get to see Aryan Khan's artistic
vision and hard work come to life. From being Shah Rukh Khan's son, he has
successfully transitioned into a filmmaker, a businessman, and now a singer, charting
a unique and compelling path of his own.
