Meet Aaishvary Thackeray, the other grandson of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, who has chosen Bollywood over Politics

Despite his distinguished family background, Aaishvary has chosen to avoid the limelight associated with his surname, opting instead to let his accomplishments stand on their own.

In a country where a child often follows the path of their parents or seniors in the family, Aaishvary Thackeray has stood out for his different choice. Unlike his cousin Aaditya Thackeray, who is a youth leader and politician carrying forward their family's legacy, Aaishvary has chosen to pursue a career in the showbiz.

Aaishvary spent over five years working hard to establish himself in the field of entertainment. He started his journey as an assistant director on ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani' in 2015. Since then, he has been honing his acting skills. Industry insiders have praised his talent and feel that he has the potential to make a lasting impact.

Despite his family’s noteworthy background, Aaishvary has stayed away from the spotlight that comes with his surname, preferring to let his work speak for itself.

For the uninitiated, Aaishvary is the son of Smita Thackeray and late Jaidev Thackeray. He is the grandson of Shiv Sena founder Shri Bal Thackeray.

Those who have seen his work up close have praised him as an undiscovered gem with the talent and potential to leave a lasting impact in his chosen industry.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on the ‘Other Thackeray,’ who is poised to make a splash in his chosen field.

According to a source, Aaishvary has learnt the ropes of every department of filmmaking and is immensely passionate about films.
