Bobby Deol recently shared his thoughts on Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's parenting style, particularly praising their son Aryan Khan's grounded nature. This comes in light of Bobby's experience working with Aryan on his directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood".
Bobby Deol stars in Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," a satirical series on the Hindi film industry set to stream on Netflix on September 18. The series features Lakshay and Sahher Bamba as two actors, with Bobby Deol playing Ajay Talwar, an aging superstar and father to Sahher's character.
At the preview launch of "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," Bobby Deol expressed admiration for Aryan's directorial skills, stating that Aryan extracted the best from every cast member, young and mature. However, he jokingly added that Aryan made them work very hard, demanding numerous takes. Shah Rukh Khan chimed in, revealing that Bobby even called him one night to complain about Aryan's relentless work ethic.
Despite the demanding nature of the shoot, Bobby seemed to have immense respect for Aryan. He recalled his long-standing friendship with Shah Rukh, reminiscing about the time when SRK mentioned his children wanting to join the industry. Seeing Aryan take that step now felt surreal to Bobby, who has watched him grow up. He acknowledged Aryan's magical quality and readiness to conquer the world.
Bobby revealed that he immediately accepted the role in Aryan's show without a second thought when Red Chillies Entertainment offered it to him. Although Aryan still wanted to narrate the script himself. Bobby was amazed by the conviction with which Aryan narrated the script, which made him happy as parents always wish for their children to be talented and successful. He feels lucky to be a part of the show and appreciates Aryan's vision and the way he brought out the soul of the story.
Bobby's praise for Aryan extends beyond his professional capabilities. While not directly quoted on Aryan's humility, the actor's anecdotes suggest that he admires the way Shah Rukh and Gauri have raised their son. The fact that Aryan is determined to make his own mark, even turning down his father's offer to act in his debut project to avoid accusations of nepotism, speaks volumes about his character. Bobby's statements imply that Aryan doesn't take his privileged background for granted and is committed to earning his success through hard work and talent.
In essence, Bobby Deol's appreciation for Aryan Khan reflects not only Aryan's burgeoning talent as a director but also the values instilled in him by his parents, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan.
