Ahan Shetty, the son of Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty, is set to star in Border 2, a war film that marks his return to the big screen after a four-year hiatus since his debut in Tadap. The film, scheduled for release, sees Ahan in a pivotal role, carrying forward the legacy of his father, who starred in the 1999 film Border. In an exclusive interview, Ahan opens up about the pressure of living up to his father's legacy and navigating the challenges of being a 'nepo kid' in the industry. "Every actor faces pressure to perform well," Ahan explains, "but carrying my father's legacy forward is a divine responsibility for me. I feel grateful to have been given this opportunity, and I'm hoping the audience accepts me for who I am." Ahan also acknowledges the stigma attached to being a star kid, but he's determined to prove himself worthy of his place in the industry. "I just want to do my best, work hard, and show that I deserve to be here," he says. With Border 2, Ahan is not only continuing his father's legacy but also taking a step towards establishing himself as a capable actor in his own right. Having learned a great deal about himself and the industry over the past four years, Ahan is ready to take on the challenges that come with being a part of the nepotism-heavy Bollywood scene. With his debut in Tadap and now Border 2, Ahan is determined to make a name for himself in the industry and prove that he's more than just a 'nepo kid' tag.
