In the throwback picture, little Ananya is seen posing with Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan and her cousin brother Ahaan. Sharing the photo, she wrote, “These boys have done such big things and I couldn’t be prouder.” Take a look:

Both Aryan and Ahaan have made strong debuts in the entertainment world this year. Aryan Khan stepped behind the camera, marking his directorial debut with the Netflix show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The series has been widely talked about for its bold storytelling and stylish execution, cementing Aryan’s entry into the industry as a filmmaker to watch.Once Shah Rukh Khan spoke about Aryan's interest in filmmaking. During the promotions of Jab Harry Met Sejal, he told Punjab Kesari TV, "He’s actually not interested in acting. He has a passion for filmmaking. And right now, he’s studying a film production course at USC in Los Angeles. I didn’t ask him to become a filmmaker, on fact, it’s quite strange, because I myself wasn’t interested in acting initially either. I was more drawn to making films, which is why I studied Mass Communication at Jamia. So Aryan has the same kind of passion. He still has four years left in college, and he’s already making short films there. He’s figuring out on his own what he truly enjoys and where his calling lies. He doesn’t even ask me for help; he’s learning everything by himself. Of course, he shows me his work out of love and respect. But beyond that, I want all my kids to discover what they want to do on their own. It might sound odd, but I’ve never asked him whether he wants to be an actor. Maybe his mother or grandmother has, but I haven’t really had that conversation with him.”On the other hand, Ahaan Panday, who is Ananya’s cousin, took center stage as an actor in Mohit Suri’s blockbuster film

Saiyaara. Starring opposite Aneet Padda, Ahaan’s performance struck a chord with audiences, and the film went on to collect over Rs 300 crore at the Indian box office. His confident screen presence and emotional depth earned him rave reviews from critics and fans alike, setting him up as one of the most promising newcomers of 2025.
