Every time a star kid is launched in the industry, it reignites the insider-versus-outsider debate. Things aren’t too different for Ahan Shetty who is Bollywood-bound with Tadap. Naturally, we start our chat with the obvious question: Did actor-father Suniel Shetty help him bag his debut film? “Not at all,” exclaims Ahan, before adding, “I had uploaded a few dance and action videos on Instagram. Sajid sir [Nadiadwala, producer] saw them and reached out to one of my dad’s friends. He, in turn, called my dad to say that Sajid sir wants to meet me. When I met him, he wanted to know if I could act. I sent him a few clips that had me performing scenes, which he liked. That [led to my] signing the contract.”
