In the world of Indian entertainment, dynasties often take intriguing new directions. Amar Upadhyay, remembered fondly as Mihir Virani and currently seen in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, has been a familiar name for decades. But this time, it is his son Aryaman who is creating buzz, not as an actor, but as a promising filmmaker. His recent appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has placed him firmly on the map as a talent to watch.
Aryaman is part of Hansal Mehta’s much-anticipated series Gandhi, where he has been working as an Assistant Director. The series made history as the first Indian web show to be showcased at TIFF, earning a standing ovation from the international audience. While Amar was tied up with his shoot schedules and couldn’t travel, Aryaman proudly represented the family in Toronto, experiencing the overwhelming response firsthand.
Unlike many star kids who take the acting route straightaway, Aryaman has chosen to start his journey behind the camera. His decision to immerse himself in the process of filmmaking reflects both patience and seriousness towards the craft, setting him apart from the usual trajectory.
For Amar Upadhyay, Aryaman’s presence at such a prestigious festival marks a meaningful moment, one where the family’s legacy finds fresh expression. With Gandhi already earning acclaim, Aryaman’s behind-the-scenes journey is just beginning, and it holds the promise of a lasting impact.
