Ahaan Panday & Aryan Khan Called The Next Ranbir-Ayan Duo By Fans
The internet appears to be quite impressed by two star kids. One is Ahaan Panday, cousin of Ananya Panday who has grabbed attention and achieved overnight stardom with his debut film, Saiyaara. The other is Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, who is preparing to make his directorial debut with the highly anticipated Netflix series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. While Ahaan continues to impress audiences in theatres with his film, which has been well-received even after a month of release, Aryan recently generated buzz on social media with an announcement video for his show. Many online users seem to believe that Aryan and Ahaan possess the qualities necessary to break the “nepo babies” stereotype.
It is a common perception that individuals with celebrity connections, often referred to as “star kids,” may be seen as entitled, privileged, and not fully deserving of their opportunities. As a result, many netizens tend to be critical of these star kids. However, the debut performance of Ahaan Panday and the promising teasers from Aryan Khan have led some film enthusiasts to believe that these star kids might challenge the negative stereotypes associated with nepotism through their talent. A popular discussion on Reddit, where this theory is being widely debated, suggests that Ahaan and Aryan could potentially shape the future of Bollywood.
Under the Reddit thread which has gone viral, one user said, “If Aryan and Ahaan make good movies, they can probably break the stereotypes of nepo-babies,” while another agreed and claimed, “And, I hope they do. Bollywood needs new, young talent. Hopefully along with them, we have 4-5 more actors breaking out.” A fan stated, “Ahaan Panday movie directed by Aryan Khan is all we need,” while another said, “Too soon to say anything. One can become one hit wonder if he fails to pick the right projects and the other has yet to prove himself. But if Aryan’s project works, man it would be a delight to have these two work in a director-actor kind of project!! Ahaan is definitely a good actor and Aryan, if proved good, has the backing to bring any project to life…”
Some netizens are expressing the hope that Aryan and Ahaan might develop a creative partnership similar to the one shared by Ayan Mukerji and Ranbir Kapoor. One such fan said, “The new Ranbir and Ayaan?,” while another wrote, “They could be the next Ranbir-Ayan duo.”
