Ahaan Panday recalls ‘uncle’ Shah Rukh Khan looking after him as a child: ‘Incredibly generous’ | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

5 min readNew DelhiApr 25, 2026 12:56 PM IST For Ahaan Panday, admiration for Shah Rukh Khan goes beyond fandom, it’s shaped by years of growing up around the superstar and observing him up close. As a friend of Aryan and Suhana Khan, Ahaan had a front-row seat to the superstar’s life beyond the spotlight. The actor says his understanding of stardom and acting has been deeply influenced by what he witnessed off-screen as much as on it. In a recent conversation with Filmfare, Ahaan spoke about the actors who have influenced him over the years, placing Shah Rukh Khan at the very beginning of that list. “Growing up, my earliest inspiration was Shah Rukh Khan. Then came Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, someone I admired even before he entered the mainstream, because great art is great art. Watching Masaan in theatres was a turning point. I was left speechless. I didn’t know a performance like that could exist. It completely changed how I saw acting and cinema. It stayed with me. Seeing …

‘Generous of Fawad Khan to do Kapoor and Sons’: Shakun Batra says he isn’t sure if a film like this can be made today | Bollywood News

It feels as if only yesterday that Shakun Batra’s Kapoor and Sons  first graced the silver screen. A film that very much defined what one might typically call a slice-of-life cinema. Death and dissolution haunted the narrative, yet alongside his co-writer Ayesha Devitre, Batra managed to illuminate the ordinary textures of a family we all recognise, we all have lived in, we all continue to inhabit. Be it the irritable father, ever counting expenses; the mother, whose affections subtly favour one child over another; the gentle grandfather confronting mortality; the siblings, struggling to coexist. Each figure resonated with the familiarity of lived experience. The film’s brilliance lies in its ability to connect, across generations, across moods, in ways that feel both intimate and universal. It is no small wonder, then, that it not only won hearts but also marked its territory at the box office, even as the landscape of the past decade has shifted so drastically. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, as it completes 10 years, Batra reflects on the genesis of the …

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: Jan 29, 2026 07:38 PM IST Akshay Kumar’s wife Twinkle Khanna has always been an advocate of ‘perfectly imperfect’ parenting.

We were travelling. I was wrong, and she was right. I actually had to tell her that – do not expect me to be perfect. I am fallible. I am as imperfect as you are. I am a little more mature, little …
