Shah Rukh Khan reveals why his Aryan doesn't want to be an actor
Almost everyone in the industry and Shah Rukh Khan fans are eagerly waiting for Shah Rukh's elder son Aryan to make his Bollywood debut soon. However, it looks like the superstar's son is not keen to make his acting debut. Although, Aryan is spending and pursuing his filmmaking in a university in Los Angeles.
Recently, in his interaction with famous host David Letterman, Shah Rukh Khan said that his son is not comfortable in becoming an actor. He told the reason why Aryan is being disinterested in becoming an actor. Shah Rukh said, . "My son doesnt want to act and I dont think he can. But you know in India it's like okay if you are a movie star's son then you become a movie star. He looks nice and tall and okay...But I dont think he has what it takes perhaps,and he realises it himself. He is a good writer".
David further asked SRK if he has shared these concern with his son Aryan, then SRK added, "I think wanting to become an actor has to come from within. It's something that you are wanting to do and really feel like doing and then find the set of skills and learn it. But I think I have realised it from him when he said that. He came and said that, 'I dont think I want to act. His issue was, which I think is very practical and honest. He said, 'every time I will be compared to you. So if I do well, it ll not be because I got skilled at this it'll be 'oh he is his son, he will do well. It's in the genes' and then he said if I don't do well it'll always be 'my God look at him..what his father did and what is he doing?'. So he said I dont want to be in that position."
Noticeably, Aryan Khan already had dubbed for Hindi versions of two Hollywood films, The Incredibles and The Lion King as Simba.
