Meet star kid whose first film flopped and now he's betting big on Sunny Deol's next
Ahan was born on December 28, 1995, to Suniel and Mana Shetty. He has an elder sister, Athiya, who has now quit showbiz and is living away from the spotlight. Going by his social media handle, the 29-year-old seems to be a huge sports enthusiast. From football to shooting and tennis, he has never shied away from channeling his inner sportsman. Not only this, but the rookie actor maintains a sculpted physique by hitting the gym. One can notice several snaps from his gym and workout sessions on his social media profile.
Coming to his career, Ahan Shetty marked his debut with the romantic action drama film Tadap (2021). Directed by Milan Lutharia, the movie featured Tara Sutaria as the female lead. Touted to be a remake of a hit Telugu film, RX 100. Unfortunately, it couldn't do wonders at the box office, and Tadap flopped drastically. Since then, Ahan didn't sign any project, but now, he's betting big on one of the most anticipated movies, Border 2.
Yes, you read that right! The Tadap actor will be seen sharing screens with Sunny Deol in the sequel of Border. Helmed by Anurag Singh, the upcoming installment also stars Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh. Border 2 is scheduled to release in cinemas next year during the Republic Day weekend.
On the other hand, Ahan was set to star alongside Pooja Hegde in a movie titled Sanki, backed by Sajid Nadiadwala. However, according to the reports, the project has been put on the back burner.
Well, as of now, the young actor has taken up 'mama' duty as Athiya welcomed a baby girl with her husband, KL Rahul.

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain's Shubhangi Atre on the price of fame; says ‘It's a blessing, but also a responsibility'
Shubhangi Atre is more than just an actress—she is Angoori Bhabhi from the cult comedy Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain. Her nuanced comic timing, expressive performances, and effortless screen presence have made her one of the most adored faces on Indian television. But behind the laughter, glamour, and fame lies a journey filled with challenges, self-discovery, and the delicate act of balancing expectations with personal authenticity. 'Fame can feel overwhelming at times because suddenly you're not just living your life; you're living it under public observation,' Shubhangi admits candidly. Yet unlike many, she doesn't see this visibility as a burden. Instead, she treats it as part of her professional reality. 'I consciously try to stay grounded, spend time with my family, and remind myself that what matters most is the work I do, not just the spotlight that comes with it. ' The entertainment world often compares fame to an addiction—once you taste it, you crave more. Shubhangi doesn't entirely deny this. 'When you receive constant love, applause, and attention, it does give you a high. I do understand why people say fame is addictive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo But I've always believed this is temporary. It's your craft and your relationships that stay. I try not to get addicted to fame, because the day you depend on it too much, you stop growing as an artist. ' Still, fame brings its share of insecurities. Shubhangi acknowledges the weight of public scrutiny. 'There are days when you question yourself—whether you're doing enough, whether people will like your work. But I remind myself that this platform is a privilege. Fame gives you influence, and that comes with responsibility. I try to use it positively, whether through the roles I choose or the messages I share.' Like many artists, she has also wrestled with self-doubt. 'There were times when I wondered if I was making the right choices or if I could live up to expectations. But I've learned to treat those moments as opportunities to grow. Meditation, spending time with my loved ones, and focusing on the joy of acting itself helps me overcome doubts. At the end of the day, if you love what you do, the self-doubt slowly transforms into self-belief. ' Her perspective echoes Shah Rukh Khan's famous line about feeling sad if people stopped recognizing him. Shubhangi resonates with that sentiment. 'Yes, I would definitely feel a void if people stopped recognizing me. Recognition is not about the ego, but about the connection we build with people through our art. The love of fans is what keeps us going—their messages, their excitement, their unwavering support—it's priceless. ' So, what has fame ultimately taught her? Shubhangi reflects with conviction: 'The biggest lesson fame has taught me is humility. No matter how popular you become, you must stay connected to your roots and values. Fame can vanish one day, but the respect you earn as a person will remain. I've learned to treat fame as a blessing, but not to let it define me.'
