In the past few days, social media has been buzzing over a new Dettol advertisement featuring four-year-old Avyaan Sapra from Delhi. The young actor’s emotional performance has drawn widespread admiration, with many saying he outshines even seasoned performers. Fans are now learning that Avyaan’s remarkable acting skills come from an unexpected source: watching films of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

Amidst the backdrop of a wedding, the ad shows Avyaan’s character taking a tumble. Undeterred, he quickly brushes it off, assuring everyone around him that he’s fine. However, the real emotional moment comes much later, when he approaches his mother. As she tends to his wound, his brave façade gives way to vulnerability, tears start flowing, yet he still comforts her, almost as if he is the one protecting her.

Avyaan’s parents revealed that he has been learning his acting cues by watching Shah Rukh Khan’s films. They shared a behind-the-scenes clip with a caption that read, “All the love for his performance. But the real credit? A little boy, big dreams, and a lot of Shah Rukh Khan.”

In the clip, Avyaan is also seen fully immersed in watching Veer-Zaara on the big screen, with his full focus on Shah Rukh Khan’s eyes. The text on the reel read, “Everyone asking how he nailed those emotional scenes. Well, learning from the best – SRK school of acting.”
