Personal life[]

In early years of his life, Ketan and his brother were featured in a song alongside Dev Anand and Sheila Ramani from the movie Funtoosh.^[1] Watching his father make films, Ketan decided to forgo administration as his major and concentrated on theater. He graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi. He co-authored the book Chetan Anand: The Poetics of Film with his mother.

In 2008, Ketan Anand is all set to revive his father, Chetan Anand's banner with a psychological love story titled Petrol Pump. This movie was written some 30–40 years ago by his father Chetan Anand who had wanted to direct the film himself with Raaj Kumar and Rajesh Khanna in the lead. But things didn't work out. The script was his last gift to his son when he died. Ketan will be launching his cousin in the movie.
