Aryan Khan discusses creative decisions
The Ba***ds of Bollywood was jointly created by Aryan and his co-writers, Manav Chauhan and Bilal Siddiqui. The series cleverly satirizes the Hindi film industry. In his interview, Aryan disclosed, “We received numerous notes indicating some scenes were too controversial. However, I decided to hold my ground. If certain aspects don’t resonate with you, that’s okay; the series isn’t exclusively for you. Others might appreciate it.”
A focus on respect and humor
During the same discussion, Aryan emphasized the motivation behind their humor, aiming to poke fun at the industry while remaining respectful. He stated, “Our ambition was to be self-deprecating without crossing the line into disrespect. Striking that balance was crucial, given our connection to the industry. The essence of comedy lies in being able to laugh at oneself and spread good vibes.”
