Arjun Bijlani shows how his son reacted when he asked him to lip-sync
Mumbai, Feb 22
Popular television actor Arjun Bijlani used social media to show how his son Ayaan reacted when he asked him to lip-sync with him.
The clip posted by Arjun on his official Insta handle featured him lip-syncing to the "Yahan Ke Hum Sikandar" track from the movie "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar" in the car. The song has been crooned by Udit Narayan and Sadhana Sargam.
While the 'Rise & Fall' winner is grooving to the song in full enthusiasm, his son is visibly shy and was seen blushing while adorably placing his hands on his face.
In the caption, Arjun revealed that his son refuses to lip-sync with him.
"Just us !! And he refuses to lip sync !!! (sic)," penned Arjun.
The comment section of the post saw some lovely remarks such as "You two are absolutely adorable", "Cuteeee", and "Aayan is so shy".
Arjun, who has been a part of the television industry for several years now, does not shy away from speaking his mind.
During a recent interaction with IANS, he opened up on long working hours in television, calling it "extremely difficult".
Arjun revealed that a 12-hour shift turns out to be a lot longer with the commute and overtime.
He told IANS, "I really feel that the working hours in the television industry are long. It is extremely difficult. Since I have been a part of the industry for so many years so I am aware that it is very diffcult for a tv actor or actress, especially actress because for a 9 am shift you have to get up at 7 am and leave for work by 8 am. Also, sometimes they call the female artists a little early as their makeup takes more time. The shoot usually goes on till 9 pm, and even more than that, after which you take off your makeup and custum, which also takes some time. Coming back home in traffic is also extremely time-consuming."

Classic desi dad move, singing an old Bollywood hit in the car! "Yahan Ke Hum Sikandar" is a banger though, great choice. Respect to Arjun for also speaking up about the insane working hours in TV. It's a grind very few understand.
While the video is cute, I appreciate him using his platform to highlight the real issue - those brutal working conditions in the television industry. 12+ hour shifts with Mumbai traffic? It's inhuman, especially for the female actors as he pointed out. Needs systemic change.
This is the wholesome content we need! No filters, just a dad having fun and a kid being shy. It's a nice break from the usual polished celebrity posts. His son will cherish this video when he's older.
Haha, the struggle is real! Trying to get my nephew to dance with me at family functions is the same story. He just hides behind his mum. Good on Arjun for being a fun dad despite his hectic schedule. The industry hours he described sound exhausting.
Two things can be true at once: the video is super cute, AND the working conditions he's speaking about are appalling. We enjoy the shows but rarely think about the human cost. More actors need to speak out like this. Respect.
