Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and a rising filmmaker, turned 28 today. While fans celebrated the occasion by flooding social media with wishes, one post that grabbed everyone’s attention came from actor Ananya Panday. The two, who have known each other for years, shared a lighthearted moment online and Ananya’s message quickly became a talking point.
Posting a photo of Aryan looking as calm and expressionless as ever, Ananya captioned it, “SMILE, it’s your birthday!” The line instantly went viral, sparking laughter among fans who have long joked about Aryan’s signature serious look. Known for his composed, camera-ready expressions, Aryan seems to have turned his poker face into a style statement.
Interestingly, Aryan’s friend Raghav once offered a playful explanation for the filmmaker’s no-smile reputation. Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, he revealed, “He has a phobia of smiling in front of the camera. He really enjoys staying in attitude. But with friends, he makes faces and laughs a lot.” Raghav added that Aryan’s calm demeanor is part of his charm something both he and his fans appreciate.
Aryan, who made his directorial debut earlier this year with The Ba***ds of Bollywood, continues to make headlines not just for his professional milestones, but also for his effortlessly cool off-screen persona.
