Actor Ahaan Panday<\/a> gained fame overnight with Mohit Suri\u2019s Saiyaara. And there\u2019s no surprise because he had some inspiration from the king of romance himself, Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>. In an interview with Filmfare, the actor spoke about what he learned from the superstar growing up, whom he calls one-of-a-kind.

In the interview, Ahaan called Shah Rukh his \u2018earliest inspiration\u2019. When asked about what he learnt from him, given that Ahaan is his children Aryan Khan<\/a> and Suhana Khan\u2019s friend since childhood, he replied, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to pinpoint exactly what I\u2019ve learnt. Because so much of it happens subconsciously when you\u2019re growing up. If anything, it\u2019s been those quiet, internalised cues rather than something tangible or external.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahaan then called the Khans a \u2018generous\u2019 family, revealing that his first trip to Dubai during the Christmas holidays was with them. He also added, \u201cWith Shah Rukh Khan, what you see is truly what you get. He is as kind and intelligent as people believe. Even when the cameras aren\u2019t on him, he has this rare ability to make you feel seen, to make you feel like you matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor also mentioned in the interview that when he made a short film titled Fifty at just 17, he asked \u2018uncle\u2019 Shah Rukh if he could show it to him, and he was more than obliging. He even gave him suggestions to make it more engaging. Ahaan shared this anecdote as proof of why \u2018there\u2019s really no one like him\u2019.<\/p>\n
