Darsheel Safary entered the film industry as a child artist. He rose to fame with his role as Ishaan Awasthi in the 2007 movie Taare Zameen Par. Recently, Aamir Khan came out with its spiritual successor, titled Sitaare Zameen Par but Darsheel was not part of the movie. The actor revealed the reason behind it. Darsheel also shared he doesn’t ask Aamir for work as he is not his brother. He prefers getting work with zero contacts.

Darsheel Safary recently shared he didn't approach Aamir Khan after working with him in Taare Zameen Par. In an interview with Mid-Day, he revealed how he has built his career and how he prefers to continue doing so without recommendations, opting instead for the old-school way of auditioning.

On taking a break after TZP, the actor said, “I was nine when TZP released. The success didn’t mess with me because I was a brat, who only valued fun. Being unaware of the gravity of my success actually helped me, but there is always a plateau in life. So a few years later, when everything calmed down, I started to realise what mistakes I made during and after TZP. So, at 15, I took a break."

He shared how he wanted to be familiar with acting. “Acting is about bringing true emotion from within, and I couldn’t get that because I was not trained formally.”

The actor added, “Whatever work I’ve done after the pandemic has been through zero contacts. Auditions and screen tests allow me to understand whether I’m able to do [a role] and also help producers and directors understand if I fit it. People get upset that I don’t ask Aamir for work. But I feel too shy to do that. He is not my brother so I can call him and say, ‘Please get me a script.’ My chosen path has been to [only] send him best wishes, like a text on his birthday. It’s just how I preferred it.”
