And indeed better job then agastya & ibrahim.” Another wrote, “Aamir khan’s son, bachhan grandson, Saif’s son etc . So many big nepos , it’s low-key funny that chikki panday son beat them all like who even cares for pandey family otherwise , they’re probably like D tier stars in the industry.” A comment read, “Actually Ahaan was v smart not to debut with Shanaya or Khushi or Suhana. He would have drowned along with them.”
