In ‘Taare Zameen Par’, Darsheel Safary played the character of Ishaan Awasthi, an 8-year-old boy with dyslexia. In the film, Aamir Khan played the role of art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who helped Ishaan work on himself. The film was Darsheel's most loved movie. The actor later worked on numerous films, including ‘Bumm Bumm Bole’, ‘Zokkomon’, and ‘Capital A Small A’.


In an interview with The Indian Express, Darsheel opened up about whether he ever felt that Aamir hasn't pushed his career after 'Taare Zameen Par.' The actor shared, “Not at all! I am very shy. I get awkward with these things. I can’t tell you how many times I have been told, ‘Are you in touch with Aamir uncle? Drop him a text, call him, this and that.’ But I feel shy doing this. I don’t know how to put it in words. It should always happen organically.”


Darsheel then added that he never asked Aamir for work. He said, “Work leading to more opportunities is the ideal way forward. This concept of, ‘tumpe kisi ka haath hai (You have someone's backing)', I have never understood that and I have never expected that as well. In fact, after Taare Zameen Par, almost every project that I have done, somewhere or the other, it has been communicated to Aamir that this is the project that I am doing. It’s mostly the case, just to get his blessings.”


Later in the same interview, Darsheel shared his thoughts on whether he feels it is a matter of respect to give auditions, “Even established actors today don’t bat an eyelid before giving an audition. It’s all about finding the right match between actors and characters. It’s not my intent to prove myself or make a point to anyone, it’s all about aiming to do good work. After educating myself in the field of acting, I have shaped my conscience in a particular way, that I am not ashamed to try and work harder each time.”

Darsheel was last seen in the film 'Kutch Express'. Directed by Viral Shah, the film also starred Ratna Pathak Shah, Manasi Parekh, and Dharmendra Gohil in lead roles.
