I Have Lived In My Father's Shadow'

|MAY 2025
Shehzaad Khan found fame by imitating his own father Ajit in the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna, which rereleased on April 25.
-
“My relationship with my father was exactly like that of Ranbir Kapoor's relationship with Anil Kapoor in Animal.”
You did many films before and after Andaz Apna Apna. Yet, you are known best for that. Did your mimicry of your father Ajit’s style in that film impede your career?
No, it didn’t. It was just a character that I was playing and I did many films as myself in my own voice. But yes, this film became a kind of a launch pad for me, even though I had done films like Som Mangal Shani, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Purani Haveli and Abhi Toh Main Jawaan Hoon before that.
