Aryan is a bright student at school and he is also very good at extracurricular activities. I am extremely supportive of his talent and passion, but his grades and study schedules are as important to me. Even now I make sure he carries his books and study material with him on the Happu Ki Ultan Paltan set so that he can study during breaks. Sometimes, when I go with him during an outdoor shoot, I teach him a topic which he has lost out on learning in school. Aryan, is blessed to have the teachers who keep mailing me everything that is being taught in the class.”
