Actor Anya Singh, who is basking in the positive response to her turn as Sanya in the Netflix show The Ba***ds of Bollywood, recently spoke about working under Aryan Khan’s direction and recalled her interactions with Shah Rukh Khan.
In an interview with Galatta India, Anya was asked whether Shah Rukh was a constant part of the show’s filming. The actor said, “He didn’t come to the sets a lot, but of course he was there from time to time. He gave Aryan that space and respect as a director. He understood that this was Aryan’s project, and it was his creation and dream. Whenever he came to the sets, he came as a father or maybe as a producer. But he never came to the sets and gave his own opinions on how things should be done. It was all Aryan. I am sure he must have taken some advice from him during the writing process, but he never intervened during the filming.”

When asked about her experience around Shah Rukh Khan during the limited visits he made, Anya Singh said, “He is the most enigmatic human being I have ever gotten to interact with. I still can’t understand how he is able to give anyone so much love, respect and importance. He makes you feel valued, and he does that with everyone. I would get nervous acting in front of him, but I got the chance to talk to him off-screen and on a personal level. I even went to his home, and he knows my name, so for me that is a big thing.”
The actor added that both father and son are unique human beings but quite similar when it comes to their habits. “Both of them are very strong individuals, and they are their own person. Shah Rukh’s sir journey makes you realise that he is very courageous, and what Aryan has done with his show also displays that same courage. Whatever they feel like, they will do, and they will do it the way they want to. But they also do that with a lot of respect and love. Like his father, Aryan will also drop you to your car and will offer you a chair the moment he realises that you are standing next to him,” said Anya.
