Shah Rukh Khan's nine-year-old son Aryan is a devoted Salman Khan fan. After having idolised Hrithik Roshan for years, Aryan has just woken up to Sallu's muscle flexing and shirtless ways.
If sources are to be believed, Aryan even wants to hit the gym to acquire washboard abs like Salman. The celebrity kid watched a few films starring Salman during his vacation and has been asking for more ever since. Says a source close to Shah Rukh, "Aryan is extremely fond of Salman. He is literally worshipping Salman these days."
Whenever daddy Shah Rukh is at home, a playful Aryan pulls out his shirt and proudly declares, "Don't I look like Salman, daddy?"
In several interviews in the past, Khan has admitted that his kids idolise Hrithik Roshan. However, Aryan has just moved on to Salman, and he has already voiced out his choice to Shah Rukh's close friends. An actor, on condition of anonymity, says, "Shah Rukh and I had a great laugh the other day. Aryan simply adores Salman and wants to be like him. Salman is very popular among all celebrity kids including his own nephews Arhaan (Arbaaz Khan's son) and Nirvaan (Sohail Khan's son)."
More recently, on a long flight to London a playful Aryan was seen exploring adjacent vacant seats and loitering at the aisle. Finally a purser asked him to go back to mommy Gauri and remain in his seat. At which Aryan suddenly rolled up his sleeves, flexed his muscles and said, "But I look like Salman Khan!"
Later he kept calling for the flight attendant and demanded toffees. According to an eyewitness, "Aryan is a super-active kid and he didn't like it when he was asked to sit still. He did tell the flight attendant that he resembles Salman Khan and kept asking for toffees."
