Aryan Khan’s Acting Plans Revealed; Rajat Bedi Says SRK’s Son May Face Camera ‘Thode Waqt Baad’

When a star kid steps into Bollywood, it’s almost taken for granted that they’ll follow in their parents’ footsteps and become an actor. But Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, chose a different

path — one that led him behind the camera. Earlier this year, Aryan made his debut as a writer and director with his hit Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which has earned rave reviews for its sharp writing and bold storytelling.

However, before the show premiered, it was Aryan’s screen presence in the announcement teaser that stole hearts. Many fans couldn’t stop gushing over his charisma and smile, wondering if he would ever appear on screen like his legendary father. Now, actor Rajat Bedi, who played Jaraj Saxena in Aryan’s directorial debut, has shed light on the young filmmaker’s acting aspirations.

“The World Is Waiting for You to Face the Camera”

In an interview with Instant Bollywood, Rajat recalled his first meeting with Aryan and shared how impressed he was by the 27-year-old’s clarity and confidence.
“On the very first day, he told me, ‘Sir, I’ve written something, and I’m going to direct it,’” Rajat said. “I asked him, ‘You’re going to direct?’ I told him, ‘Beta, the whole world is waiting for you to face the camera! What are you doing behind it?’”

To this, Aryan had a calm and grounded response. “He said, ‘No sir, the level my father has reached — the comparisons, expectations, and all of that… But maybe later, I’ll think about acting. Not now.’”

Rajat Bedi Was Moved by Aryan’s Conviction

Rajat further revealed that Aryan was deeply involved in the creative process and personally approached him for the role. “He told me, ‘Sir, I’m making something, and I want you to play this character. If you don’t do it, I’ll remove this character altogether. I genuinely want you to be part of it.’ I was really touched by his sincerity.”

Rajat’s performance as Jaraj Saxena in The Ba***ds of Bollywood became one of the show’s highlights, earning praise for both his dialogue delivery and the way his character was written.

Will Aryan Khan Ever Act?

While Aryan has made it clear that he’s in no rush to step in front of the camera, fans continue to hope that he will one day make his acting debut. With his effortless charm and deep understanding of filmmaking, it’s only a matter of time before the young Khan brings his artistry full circle.

For now, audiences are eagerly awaiting Season 2 of The Ba***ds of Bollywood — and perhaps, someday soon, Aryan’s long-awaited entry as an actor.
