Aditya tried his hand at acting, but did not pursue it as a career. “My father was very supportive of my decision. I have always tried to do something different in life and Shammiji always stood beside me,” he said in an earlier chat with IANS.

Aditya was only nine years old when his mother Geeta Bali passed away. He grew up with Shammi Kapoor and his second wife Neila Devi. Neila, on many occasions, has spoken about raising Aditya and his sister Kanchan as her own children, and has said that she decided to not have her own children so she could give them undivided attention. Aditya, in an earlier chat with The Times of India, said, “She decided to not have any children of her own. How many women would do that? And, to look after a crazy guy like Shammi Kapoor and his two kids wasn’t easy, I bet.”
