Fans of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan began the week on a nostalgic note as photos from his younger days resurfaced online, shortly after son Aryan Khan’s much-anticipated first look from ‘Bad**s of Bollywood’ dropped onine.Fans quickly drew comparisons between father and son, noting striking similarities in their looks, style and charm. Vintage snaps of Shah Rukh from his early days in the film industry, modelling in leather jackets, began circulating across platforms. Fans were particularly impressed that, besides Aryan’s uncanny resemblance to his superstar dad, he even seemed to sound so much like him. “Aryan Khan’s voice is similar to SRK. Did anyone notice it,” asked a fan. Others could not stop gushing over their mirror resemblance, “I personally do not believe in legacy but SRK & Aryan Khan proved me wrong. The legacy actually lies in genes. Like father, like son.” Another fan quipped, “Bro is born to play a rom-com hero in Main Hoon Na 2, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai 2, Dil Toh Pagal Hai 2. Aryan Khan is literally a younger version of SRK.”Some went as far as to say Aryan embodies his father’s aura more than anyone else. “Aryan Khan is more Shah Rukh Khan than Shah Rukh Khan himself,” one user quipped.
Others expressed disappointment over Aryan not pursuing acting despite possessing the charisma of his father. “A huge loss for Bollywood that Aryan Khan is not going into acting. He has everything — the screen presence, the dialogue delivery, the looks, the rizz, the smile, the charm, the aura, and most importantly a proper Hindi diction. We have been robbed,” a fan lamented.Another added, “aryan khan be an actor, you have the looks, the voice, dialogue delivery, screen presence EVERYTHING.” Aryan, in the past, has made it clear that his focus remains behind the camera as a director, despite fans’ calls for him to become an actor. Set against a filmy backdrop, the initial glimpse hints at a generational shift, where the romance of the past meets the vision of a new storyteller. Backed by Aryan’s mother, Gauri Khan, the series is expected to drop online soon. However, the release date of the highly anticipated drama has not been unveiled.
