May 27, 2025: Celebrity photographer Avinash Gowariker has heaped praise on Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, calling him “too cool” and “unbelievable” as he gears up for his directorial debut. In a recent interview, Gowariker opened up about the dynamic bond between Shah Rukh and Aryan and shared behind-the-scenes insights from a memorable photoshoot for Gauri Khan’s coffee table book.

Avinash, who earlier captured an intimate family portrait at Mannat for Gauri’s book, shared how Aryan’s energy, charisma, and striking presence were hard to miss. “He’s a poser. You tell him to chin up, he reacts, chin down—same. He’s unbelievable,” Avinash said. He added that Aryan’s rare smiling moment during the shoot was thanks to a funny moment shared with his younger brother AbRam. “It was AbRam who made him laugh. Something funny happened—an internal family joke—and Aryan was laughing his heart out. I didn’t make him laugh.”
Praising Aryan’s upcoming project, Gowariker revealed that he has seen portions of the Netflix series Ba**ds of Bollywood*, which marks Aryan’s directorial debut. “What a series he has made. It’s unbelievable. I was lucky to see some parts of it,” he said, lauding Aryan’s storytelling and visual approach.
Produced by Gauri Khan and created in collaboration with Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, the series is set to lift the curtain on the chaotic, glamorous, and dramatic world of Bollywood, blending fiction with real industry insights. “Through Aryan Khan’s distinct lens, this series dives into the glitz, the chaos, the comedy, and the high stakes of an industry built on dreams,” the official synopsis reads.
While the cast remains under wraps, the buzz surrounding the show is steadily building, especially as Aryan steps into the limelight not as an actor, but as a filmmaker.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is also keeping busy with King, his next big-screen venture directed by Siddharth Anand. The film will reportedly star Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone in key roles.
From capturing quiet family moments at Mannat to leading one of Netflix’s most anticipated series, Aryan Khan’s journey is shaping up to be as bold and compelling as the stories he now seeks to tell.
