Mumbai: Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has always called out star kids for being more privileged than outsiders.
So it comes as a surprise when she has something good to say about Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aaryan Khan.
After Shah Rukh and OTT giant Netflix announced Aaryan’s directorial debut, Kangana took to her social media handle to shower praises on the star kid for opting to be behind the camera as a director unlike the other star kids, who prefer to become actors.
“It’s great that children from film families are going beyond just wanting to wear makeup, lose weight, doll up, and think they are actors. We should collectively uplift the standards of Indian cinema; that is the need of the hour. Those who have resources often end up taking the easiest roads,” wrote Kangana.
“We need more people behind the cameras. It’s good that Aryan Khan is taking the road less travelled. I look forward to his debut as a writer and filmmaker,” she added.
On November 19, SRK and Netflix announced an untitled project which will be helmed by Aryan Khan.
