Early life and education

Aryan Khan was born on 12 November 1997 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. [4] He is the eldest son of actor Shah Rukh Khan and producer Gauri Khan. [5] [6] He is of Hyderabadi, Pashtun, and Kashmiri descent on his father's side and Punjabi descent on his mother's side. [7] He has two younger siblings, including actress Suhana. [8] Khan was raised with both his parents' religions of Islam and Hinduism. [9] He did his schooling from Mumbai's Dhirubhai Ambani International School until age 15, after which he attended the Sevenoaks School in Kent. [10]

As a child, Khan played the younger version of his father's character in one scene of the film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). [11] He has worked as a voice actor in the Hindi dub of The Incredibles (2004) alongside his father. [11] In 2020, Khan graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film and television production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. [12] [13]

Personal life

Khan has attracted media attention for his private life. Since 2023, several outlets have speculated about his relationship with Brazilian-origin actress and model Larissa Bonesi, [14] Describing her as his "rumoured girlfriend." The speculation grew after she was spotted with him at public events and later promoted his directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood (2025) on social media, which he reshared. [15] [16] Neither Khan nor Bonesi have confirmed the relationship publicly, and media references continue to use the term "rumoured." [17]

Career

Voice acting

Khan voiced Simba in The Lion King (2019). [18] Shah Rukh Khan had to re-dub his lines as Mufasa in The Lion King (2019) because experts noted that his voice sounded too similar to his voice. [19] [20] Khan continued his voice work by dubbing Simba in the Hindi version of Mufasa: The Lion King (2024), joining his father and younger brother AbRam in the cast. [21] [22]

Direction and screenwriting

From 2023 to 2024, Khan filmed a streaming series, titled The Ba***ds of Bollywood , set against the backdrop of the Hindi film industry, on which he served as showrunner, writer, and director. Produced by his father and mother under Red Chillies Entertainment, it was released on Netflix on 18 September 2025. [13] [23] [24] The series stars Lakshya Lalwani, Raghav Juyal, Bobby Deol and Sahher Bambba, and is co-written and co-created by Bilal Siddiqui and Manav Chauhan. [25] [26] [27]

Off-screen work

Business

In 2022, Khan and his business partners Bunty Singh and Leti Blagoeva launched the company SLAB Ventures, under which they began a luxury collective brand named D'YAVOL. [3] [28] They teamed with the brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev to launch a super premium Vodka, which has now garnered more than 25 international awards within a short span. [29] They launched a blended malt scotch, D'YAVOL Inception, the following year. [30] Also in 2023, Khan launched a luxury apparel brand, named D'YAVOL X. [31] He directed an advertisement video for the brand, featuring him and his father, which marked his first directorial venture. [32] In August 2025, Khan partnered with Radico Khaitan, Shah Rukh Khan and Nikhil Kamath and announced a Tequila Anejo. A global launch is expected soon. [33]

Alleged drug charges

On 3 October 2021, Khan was arrested along with six others by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) [34] [35] [36] during a raid on an alleged rave on a cruise ship. [37] Khan was detained as part of an investigation into an alleged international drugs racket. [38] [39] [40] After spending 25 days at the Mumbai Central Prison and being denied bail four times, he was granted bail on 28 October 2021. [41] [42] In May 2022, he was cleared of all charges. [6] One of the officers leading the investigation, Sameer Wankhede, was later charged with corruption and extortion in connection with the case, with the Central Bureau of Investigation alleging that the drug charges were part of a false scheme to blackmail the Khan family.
