With her privileged upbringing, which includes growing up on film sets and studying acting in the US, Suhana has been perfectly groomed by her famous parents to enter Bollywood when it’s time.

Suhana Khan — Acting experience: Even as fans await the inevitable launch of Suhana in Bollywood, the young hopeful is no inexperienced star kid with a famous last name. She has been steadily earning a name at film school and has even starred in the short film, ‘The Grey Part of Blue’, directed by Theodore Gimeno. She seemed a natural. Image Credit: YouTube

Suhana Khan — Technical know-how: Suhana isn’t just a pretty face meant to face the camera. Eager to learn the ropes, she had signed on as assistant director on Aanand L Rai's ‘Zero’. “She came here as a part of learning acting. So she needed to spend time on film sets. She did some of that in London too with Gurinder (Chadha),” Shah Rukh told PTI. “We were shooting a song for Zero. I wanted her to watch Katrina [Kaif] and Anushka [Sharma] because both of them are such different kind of actors. Katrina has her own charm and Anushka has her own way of enacting. But what they did instead is put her onto me as the assistant director to get me on time from home. She'd say, 'Papa, the shot is ready'.” Image Credit: Instagram/suhana_khan_officiall

During his ‘Zero’ shoot, Shah Rukh told PTI about why he encouraged Suhana to be on the sets. “She came on sets because learning acting has a lot to do with spending time on the sets and learning production. She did the same in London and while she was here.” Any filmmaker, including Johar and Aditya Chopra, would be able to have her on set to learn the ropes ahead of her launch. Image Credit: Supplied
