Even though Ahan prefers to keep the details of his love life to himself, he’s still allowed his fans to have a glimpse into it. He’s today in a long-term relationship with Indian fashion designer and model Tania Shroff; the two met in their early teenage years, and have been together for close to 10 years now.
In January 2022, rumors began circulating the internet, claiming that Ahan and Tania were planning to marry, but Ahan soon revealed in an interview that these rumors weren’t true, and that even though he believes it’s unfair for these kind of articles to be published, he understands that there’s not a lot he can do about it.

It remains unknown what he’d done prior to acting, but it’s believed that he worked at several successful Indian companies.
He made his debut film appearance in the 1992 action adventure movie “Balwaan”, and gained recognition in 1994, when cast to play the main character Michael in the action crime movie “Hum Hain Bemisaal”, directed by Deepak Bahry, and which also starred Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shirodkar.

Shivdasani, and which also starred Arshad Warsi and Sadashiv Amrapurkar. It follows a man whose dying father’s asked him to locate a man to give him a piece of land.
