Capturing the Relationship Between Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan
Avinash Gowariker, whose career spans collaborations with major Bollywood figures like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Aishwarya Rai, reflected on photographing Shah Rukh and Aryan. The duo’s connection was evident in their session, and Avinash was effusive in his appreciation:

He further elaborated on Aryan’s emerging talent and the rapport the two Khans share:
“But what a series he has made, it’s unbelievable. I was lucky to see some parts of it. He’s too cool, talented, and Shah Rukh’s relationship with him is mind-blowing. Since kids, Shah Rukh and AbRam also. Normally, it’s mother and son and father and daughter, in shots. But there’s a crazy chemistry between Shah Rukh and Aryan, the way they look and the way it is. This shot was in the house, and it was for Gauri’s book, the coffee table book. So we wanted a few combos, and we did everything. It’s just the way they are. It’s the confidence and swag. And he’s mind-blowing.”
