Salman Khan: Ayaan Agnihotri reveals how ghost Salman Khan is ‘very particular about work’ and never spoon-feeds him: ‘He says go and do it yourself’ | Hindi Movie News
Ayaan Agnihotri, nephew of salman khanis forging her own path in the entertainment industry without relying on the privilege that comes with her famous last name. Despite having one of Bollywood’s biggest stars as an uncle, Ayaan has been determined to earn his place on his own merit and hard work. While working alongside Salman has given him valuable exposure and experience, he has made it clear that he doesn’t want to be spoon-fed or given opportunities just because of his family connections.
What is the creative dynamic like when Ayaan Agnihotri works with Salman Khan?
In a conversation with News18, Ayaan was asked about the creative dynamic when working with Salman and whether the uncle-nephew relationship takes a back seat once the cameras start rolling or if it really adds something special to the process. He said: “It’s a mix of both. Mamu is very particular about work. He expects you to do everything. You have to be there, you have to do the work and you have to take responsibility. He won’t fly around you. He will tell you: ‘This is what you have to do. It’s who you have to do it with. Now go ahead and do it. So, in many ways, it’s nice to know that at that point, it’s just work. What has to happen has to happen. After that, of course, there’s an element of nurturing and mentoring that comes in.”He added: “But at the same time, he never moves. He’s very clear that you have to do it first. Once you’re done with it, he’ll tell you what he has to say about it. But he doesn’t come in and do that part for you. He’s like, ‘This is the beat. You understand it. You write it. He’ll work it out with Vishal.’ Or, ‘This is what I shot. This is the director.’ Now go and find out how you should do your part. So it basically says, “Go and do it yourself.”It won’t help you at this stage, because this is your journey and your responsibility. But after that, he will always give his guidance.”
How does Ayaan Agnihotri handle the nepotism label and outside perceptions?
When asked about growing up in a family full of artists and how his relationships with Salim Khan and Salman have helped her separate genuine family support from outside perceptions, and if that clarity has changed the way she presents herself as Agni, Ayaan gave a very grounded and refreshing response. It made it clear that the way things look on the outside is very different from how they really feel on the inside. He said: “The way we see it from the inside is very different. To us, it’s just mamu and nana. This is the standard family environment for us. We don’t look at it from the inside out. The relevance of these relationships is not based on social media counters or anything like that. Family is family. A unit is close as family first. Whatever happens outside is not how we see it at home. Ghar ke liye, it’s just family.”
