Manoj Pahwa, who is working with Aryan Khan in 'Stardom', revealed some unheard anecdotes about the latter and mentioned his similar qualities to his father, Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan is all set to make his directorial debut with the series, Stardom. The series is set in the backdrop of tidbits about the film industry. It will be a six-episode digital series featuring multiple stars, reportedly Bobby Deol, Ranbir Kapoor, Mona Singh, and Lakshya, among others. Well, the handsome youngster has already started his career with his clothing brand, D'Yavol X, and his strong personality often leaves all in awe. Recently, veteran actor, Manoj Pahwa, who is a part of Stardom, shared some unheard deets about SRK's elder son, Aryan.
Manoj Pahwa recently sat for an interview with Hindi Rush, wherein he talked about the iconic father-son duo, Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan. Manoj revealed that Aryan doesn't have that starry air around him and he is extremely hardworking. The veteran actor further added that the process of filming Stardom took more time, but it was fun to work with Aryan Khan.
In the same interview, Manoj Pahwa was asked if he had seen any similarities between Shah Rukh and his son, Aryan Khan. To this, he mentioned that just like Shah Rukh, Aryan is also a workaholic and can even work for 18-20 hours if required. He also added that Shah Rukh is someone who always treats everyone equally, and a similar kind of generosity can also be found in Aryan Khan. Manoj can be quoted as saying:
"I know Shah Rukh works 18-20 hours a day if required. He is a workaholic, and I have seen Aryan work in a similar fashion too. He is Khan Sahab today because he has what it takes to be the Khan Sahab. If you are working with him, or even if you are just standing in front of him, Shah Rukh will respect and love you with all his heart.”
Manoj, in the same interview, added how Shah Rukh Khan takes care of his guests and that Aryan has the same qualities in taking care of everyone around him. The veteran actor shared that SRK often visits the sets of Stardom, and asks everyone about their well-being. The actor mentioned that during the shooting of a climax scene, SRK reached the set of Stardom, and he himself had taken 2-3 shots. Manoj remarked:
"Whenever he came on to the sets, he enquired about our well-being and wanted to know if we were well taken care of by the production. In fact, during the filming of the climax, which was happening on a very expansive scale with 2-3 units, he started to take a few shots too.”
In the same interview, Manoj Pahwa added that he once told Aryan that he wanted to eat food from Mannat, and SRK's son started to get tiffin for him as well. He also recalled eating chicken rolls, made by the special chefs in charge of Mannat, and how it was a good feeling. In Manoj's words:
"I saw Aryan’s food coming from Mannat and I said I also want it so he started getting it for me too. I used to tell Seema that I ate food from Shah Rukh’s house. It used to be cooked by his special chef. We used to have Chicken Roll, etc. It was a good feeling.”

Earlier, a report by BollywoodLife mentioned that Stardom might document Shah Rukh Khan's real-life events through the character of a Delhi-based young boy having a dream to make it in the industry. As per an insider, the series would be a multi-starrer, and it would not be a biopic on SRK, instead, the viewers could get traces of SRK's real-life events through the bits and pieces attached to the character of the Delhi-based young boy.
