Now, Govinda junior aala re!
Fresh from a filmmaking course from London, Yashvardhan Ahuja, is prepping up for Bollywood.

After Tiger Shroff and Sooraj Pancholi, another star kid is gearing up to make his Bollywood debut. Govinda’s 20-year-old son, Yashvardhan Ahuja, has returned to Mumbai following a year-long filmmaking course in London’s Met Film School.

The youngster is currently working for filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala’s marketing team. “I have been with Sajid uncle for a month now. He gave me the best advice — To go with the flow and acquire knowledge on all aspects of filmmaking, including editing and writing before getting into acting. I will also assist him on Kick 2,” says the aspiring actor.

Yash says that he loves direction but acting is his passion and he might go to The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in Los Angeles for an acting course sometime in the future. "Everything I know about the craft came from dad. He has taught me how to improvise on screen. I remember him telling me how Kader Khan sir and he came up with impromptu dialogues on the sets of Harmesh (Malhotra) uncle's Dulhe Raja, which is one of my favourite films. These days our dinner table conversations only revolve around movies,” he laughs.

Is Govinda a strict dad? “He used to be, but now he knows that I have grown up. He is more like a teacher to me now and I really look up to him,” says the doting son, admitting that he’s watched his father’s David Dhawan-directed laugh riot, Deewana Mastana, more than 50 times.

David and Imtiaz Ali figure high on this aspiring actor’s wish-list. “I have seen all of Imtiaz sir’s films and I’m in awe of his work. David sir is a legend and I would love to do a comedy with Varun (Dhawan) bhaiya, on the lines of Jodi No 1,” he signs off.
