Actor Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora’s son, Arhaan Khan is the current favourite of the paparazzi. He is often spotted interacting with the photographers stationed outside his home in Mumbai to catch a glimpse of the star kid. Though Arhaan seems comfortable posing, his father Arbaaz, who has been in the film industry since 1996, has only gotten comfortable around photographers after his recent wedding to Shura Khan.
While speaking to indianexpress.com about the ease with which his son Arhaan meets the paparazzi, Arbaaz shared, “They have taken a liking towards him, and fortunately, somehow he is very comfortable to pose. I have been very shy, and I have now become relaxed. After getting married, I have become comfortable. It has taken me years to feel at ease in front of the press, and stand and smile.”
The actor, who made his acting debut with Abbas-Mustan’s 1996 film Daraar, accepted that he was never “pap-friendly.” He said, “If I got spotted, great, if I didn’t, I was okay. I would give them their little bytes and small appearances.”

However, even before making his Bollywood debut, his 21-year-old son Arhaan is friendly with the paparazzi. “He is very comfortable because he has made them very comfortable. He has realised that in this era, this is something that is unavoidable. The easier you accept it, the easier you bring it into your life, and probably use it to your advantage, the better it is,” said Arbaaz, as he understands that it comes with the profession they have chosen for themselves.
Arhaan grabbed attention when he went around Mumbai clicking pictures of the paparazzi. He was also photographed with Raveena Tandon’s daughter Rasha Thadani. His regular appearances on the social media accounts of the various paparazzo’s also led to speculations about his Bollywood debut.

Arbaaz clarified that it is not happening anytime soon. He shared, “He is working on himself in various aspects but there is still time (for his debut).”
Arhaan was last seen at his Arbaaz’s wedding to Shura. His video of strumming the guitar at the wedding went viral on the internet. The video was posted on Instagram by Arbaaz’s brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. He tagged the father-son duo and captioned it, “I Love You Papa.”
