Behind Aryan Khan’s breakthrough as a first-time director in The Ba***ds of Bollywood is not just his talent, but also the quiet yet powerful presence of his superstar father, Shah Rukh Khan. Actress Anya Singh, in a recent exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, shared her memorable experiences of meeting the King of Bollywood and working on Aryan’s set, painting a picture of warmth and mentorship that goes beyond the glitz and glamour of the industry.

“He’s so welcoming. He’s so respectful. He’s warm. He’s kind. He’s everything good. So, you hug Shah Rukh Khan, you’d think you can retire now”, Anya recalled, capturing the larger-than-life presence of SRK in her first encounter. She vividly remembers a moment of guidance from the superstar: “He sat next to me… you have this opportunity. Don’t be silly, talk… He’s very open to giving advice…”. For Anya, Shah Rukh’s support went far beyond professional advice—he embraced the role of a father on set: “He (SRK) watched. He was a father on that set. He came as a supportive parent who was there to kind of cheer his son on. And that was very nice.”
Anya also drew lessons from veteran actor Bobby Deol, who shared candid insights about navigating the highs and lows of a film career: “He (Bobby) talks about his highs and lows… He’s very honest. So much to learn”.
Her reflections paint a different picture of Bollywood than what tabloids often portray. The industry, she suggests, is built on families, mentorship, and genuine warmth—qualities that helped both Aryan Khan and the young actors around him thrive on set.
