Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, an introvert who hid in his father’s shadow, has quietly accomplished something without wasting words or energy on the trolIERS who tried to break his spirit by labeling him a “nepo kid” or “big shot’s son” who would amount to nothing. He didn’t say anything but chose to work in silence. His work has captured the attention of not only Bollywood, but the whole world.
Aryan answered the trolls with his self-written,/ directed seven-episode web series, ‘Bads of Bollywood,’ a sleekly mounted production. The teaser suggested a storm was coming, but no one anticipated that this storm would turn into a tsunami that would engulf everything.
Netflix’s presentation, ‘Bads of Bollywood,’ has become the number one series on charts not just in India but across the globe. Beyond the entire country, it has become a chart-topper in the Gulf (Sharjah, Dubai-Abu Dhabi), the USA, the UK, Germany, and all of Europe. This seven-episode series, released Sept. 18 has written a new history, Impressed Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, commented that Aryan is a “long-distance horse” who will go far. Salman Khan, another pillar of Bollywood, openly commented that ‘Bads of Bollywood’ will cross a business of ₹2000 crores. Bobby Deol, LEADING ACTOR in ‘Bads of Bollywood,’ stated that Aryan Khan has brought a new awakening to Bollywood. Just as Aryan’s father, Shah Rukh, saved Bollywood during its bad phase with films like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, Aryan has similarly saved Bollywood from the unilateral aggression of the South with ‘Bads of Bollywood.’
Netflix hadn’t anticipated such success, and seeing the massive response, they immediately wanted to sign Aryan for the next series. However, other global channels are also entering the fray, seeking to bask in the glow of his success. Now, we wait to see what happens.
Even though his father is the number one star in Bollywood, Aryan’s success has stolen Shah Rukh’s limelight. The proud father, Shah Rukh, announced that Aryan has lightened his workload, and now he will selectively act in films of his choice.
The final verdict on Aryan came from the He-Man, Dharmendra, the jubilant hero from the sixties who stated that they can now sleep peacefully, entrusting the future of Bollywood to a young man like Aryan—should add more!
