Ahaan Panday, the young actor who made his mark in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, has spoken candidly about his experiences growing up in the film industry. As the son of businessman Chikki Panday and former model Deanne Panday, Ahaan has often been referred to as a 'star kid'. However, his father is not a Bollywood star, and Ahaan has made it clear that he feels like an outsider looking in. In a recent interview with GQ, Ahaan shared his thoughts on being unfairly grouped with other 'star kids'. He explained that he has always felt like he is 'behind a fence', watching the film industry from the outside but not really a part of it. Ahaan's parents were not keen on him joining the industry, having witnessed the struggles of his uncle Chunky Panday in Bollywood. But Ahaan's passion and talent eventually won them over, and he is now set to appear in Ali Abbas Zafar's actioner, backed by YRF, alongside Sharvari. Ahaan's unique perspective on growing up in the shadows of stardom offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by 'star kids' in the film industry. While some may view them as privileged, Ahaan's story suggests that there is more to being a 'star kid' than meets the eye.
