When the son or daughter of an actor begins their journey in the film industry, they are under a lot of pressure. Yes, trolls believe that they get it easy but these ‘star kids’ understand the pressure on them to prove their worth. One young actor who is currently working his way up in Bollywood is Meezaan Jaaferi, son of choreographer, actor and comedian Jaaved Jaaferi. Meezaan is currently busy gearing up for the release of his third film Yaariyan 2. Co-starring Divya Khosla Kumar, Pearl V Puri and Priya Prakash Varrier, the coming of age drama follows the bond of three cousins.
During an exclusive interview with Desimartini, Meezaan was asked if the expectations that come with being Jaaved Jaaferi’s son act as an added pressure on him. To this, the young actor replied, “That pressure obviously is correlated with good performance. So I don't take that pressure, I just think about, like okay you know I just have to perform well. If I do my bit well or my job well, and I have done my bit, that's good you know, that's good enough. I think people's expectations are going to be met. They'll be happy. I think I have done a good job in the film, think they will like that. I have performed in a way that I have never, I think I've also improved in certain areas.”
Talking about his journey and growth as an actor, Meezaan went on to add, “I think over time as you keep working, you learn , you grow and I have just been lucky. I am actually enjoying the process of me evolving as an actor. And I think the audience will really enjoy that as well, how much I have grown.”
So far Meezaan has wowed us as Shiva Morey in Malaal and as Hungama 2’s Akash Kapoor. We are now excited to see him as Shikhar Randhawa in Yaariyan 2 on 20th October.
