Fans and the media eagerly gathered for the momentous occasion, buzzing with excitement as the two Khans appeared together to present what promises to be a major addition to the streaming world.
Shah Rukh Khan’s wit and warmth steal the show
Shah Rukh Khan kicked off the event by addressing his recent shoulder injury and the surgery he underwent. In true SRK fashion, he charmed everyone with his trademark wit, joking, “1-2 mahina lagega mujhe recover karne ke liye, lekin National Award uthaane ke liye mera ek haath hi kaafi hai.” The audience responded with laughter and applause, instantly setting a spirited and lighthearted tone for the evening.
Aryan Khan’s creative journey
Taking the stage later, Aryan Khan shared insights into his creative process, revealing that he has been developing “The Ba***ds of Bollywood” for four years. The series, he explained, is meant to be bold, raw, and edgy—distinct from the typical Bollywood fare—and is filled with energy and originality.
When Aryan first presented his idea to his father, SRK humorously admitted he was skeptical: “Mujhe laga kahin yeh Mannat ka CCTV toh nahi YouTube pe daal raha.” However, SRK soon realized that Aryan was working on something genuinely fresh and unique. “It took me a little while to really catch on and to catch the tone of the show, but once I did, I was completely drawn in. I’m really, really happy about it—not only about the show, but the entire cast that has come together to tell this story. The characters breathe life into the story and create magic onscreen,” he said, expressing pride in Aryan’s ambitious debut.
Stellar cast promises powerful performances
Besides Aryan, the event showcased the show’s leading cast members—Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and Sahher Bambba—who joined SRK on stage. SRK was all praise for the actors, stating in Hindi, “Bohot hi dhaasu acting ki hai sabne, bohot hi faadu performances hain sabki,” highlighting the extraordinary performances that audiences can expect from the series.
A promising debut for Aryan Khan
The grand unveiling of “The Ba***ds of Bollywood” marks Aryan Khan’s much-awaited entry into the film industry, not as an actor but as a creative force behind the camera. The web series, backed by Netflix, is already generating significant interest both for its daring themes and the star power attached to it.
With his father’s enthusiastic support and the backing of a talented cast, Aryan’s debut is poised to be a memorable one. The anticipation is palpable, with fans eager to see the new direction he brings to the world of Indian streaming content.
As the evening concluded, SRK invited Aryan to join him at center stage, offering heartfelt encouragement: “Well, we wish Aryan all the best as he begins his journey in the industry!” The industry and fans alike will be watching keenly as Aryan Khan steps boldly into the limelight.
