Bollywood Veteran Slams Aryan Khan's Debut Series Narrative
1 Apr
Summary
- Industry insider questions the series' dark portrayal of Bollywood.
- He noted Shah Rukh Khan had a privileged start in the industry.
- The critic denied witnessing extreme toxicity in his experience.

Viveck Vaswani, who has known Shah Rukh Khan since his early days, has voiced strong reservations about Aryan Khan's debut series, 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood.' Vaswani argues that the show's depiction of the Hindi film industry as overwhelmingly dark and toxic is misleading. He recalled Khan's privileged entry into the industry, supported by industry figures like Aziz Mirza, Yash Johar, and Yash Chopra, who treated him exceptionally well.
Vaswani refuted the series' premise by stating he never encountered such extreme negativity or encountered 'evil people' within his extensive experience in Bollywood. He suggested that the series might be based on hearsay and fails to present a balanced perspective. Vaswani emphasized that while a show exploring darker themes is permissible, it should also acknowledge the presence of decent individuals and positive experiences within the industry.
