.The doting dad and Badshah of B-Town welcomed his son with an inspirational message on X where he wrote, “Here’s to untamed story telling….controlled chaos…gutsy scenes and lots and lots of fun and emotions. Go forth and entertain people Aryan and remember, There’s No business like Show business!!” Suhana wrote in the comments of the announcement on Instagram, “Sooo excited ”. Bollywood celebrities like Malaika Arora, Farah Khan Kunder, Bollywood’s fabulous wives Bhavana Panday, Maheep Kapoor and Shalini Passi also cheered for the young gun.
