The Journey of Rohan Khan

From the bustling streets of Kolkata to the ever-expanding world of digital music, my journey has been anything but ordinary. I was born on August 20, 2005, and like many children, I grew up surrounded by stories, music, and dreams that felt larger than life. Somewhere along the way, I realized that I didn’t just want to listen to stories—I wanted to tell my own.

Early Life and Education

I grew up in a close-knit family in Kolkata. My father, Nur Mohammad Gazi, and my mother, Hamida Bibi, taught me the values of resilience and humility. As a child, I spent countless hours daydreaming about films, songs, and characters I would one day bring to life. My schooling began at Hansury High School, where I first explored creativity through cultural events and stage performances. Later, I pursued a Graphic Design course at Moople Institute of Animation and Design, which gave me the technical skills to shape visuals and ideas into reality.

Even during those years, I was always drawn to the performing arts. While my peers often saw academics as the final goal, I knew that my path lay in telling stories—whether through acting, directing, or music.

Stepping Into Acting and Storytelling

My first significant step into the creative world came through acting. I was cast in projects like Solo Journey and its sequel, as well as the popular Bengali TV drama Gaatchora. Each role gave me new perspectives—not just about characters, but about the human emotions behind them. Acting allowed me to experience life through multiple lenses. For me, the stage and the screen were never just platforms; they were mirrors reflecting fragments of my own heart.

Directing, too, became part of my journey. My directorial debut with the music video Tum Yaad Aate Ho was a milestone. For the first time, I was not only interpreting a story but creating it from scratch—choosing the mood, the visuals, and the emotional arc. It was then I realized how much I enjoyed being behind the camera as much as in front of it.

Music: A Heartbeat Turned Into Songs

While acting gave me a voice on screen, music gave me a heartbeat. The melodies of Arijit Singh and the soulful presence of Shreya Ghoshal inspired me to dive into singing. Recently, I took a leap of faith and released three original songs: “Awaara Sapne,” “Aranithox,” and “Solivine.” upcoming song "For your attention"

Each track carries something deeply personal. Awaara Sapne reflects the restless dreams of youth—those ambitions that refuse to fade. Aranithox carries the raw, experimental edge of trying something new and daring. And Solivine captures the solitude and hope that so many of us feel in moments of silence. To me, these songs are not just recordings; they are fragments of my diary shared with the world.

Challenges Along the Way

My path hasn’t always been smooth. Like many young artists, I’ve faced skepticism, self-doubt, and the pressure of expectations. There were times when I wondered if I was chasing an illusion. Yet, each challenge pushed me further. I learned to trust my instincts, to believe in my art even when the world was silent.

Inspirations and Personal Life

Beyond my creative work, I remain grounded in my personal life. I admire artists like Shah Rukh Khan for their relentless dedication and ability to inspire across generations. I dream of traveling to countries like Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, and China—places whose culture and landscapes spark my imagination. In quieter moments, I enjoy writing, designing, and simply reflecting on the path ahead.

I have also been active on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, where I connect with audiences more directly. Sometimes, I even use these platforms for causes and conversations that go beyond entertainment. For me, being an artist is not only about fame; it is about authenticity and impact.

Looking Ahead

As I stand at the beginning of my twenties, I know that my story has just begun. I want to create art that transcends borders—whether through acting, directing, or music. I want to keep telling stories that resonate with people who are, perhaps, standing at the edge of their own dreams, wondering if they should take that first step.

To them, my answer is always yes. Dreams may feel fragile, but they are powerful enough to shape a life.

This is only the beginning of my journey. And as I continue to write it—sometimes in film, sometimes in melody—I hope those who listen can hear a piece of themselves within my voice.
