“The Bads of Bollywood” Premiere: Aryan Khan’s Directorial Debut Turns into a Star-Studded Spectacle


In a city that has seen its fair share of glamorous nights, this one stood out. Red Chillies Entertainment hosted a grand premiere of The Bads of Bollywood at the opulent Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, and the event was anything but ordinary. The venue shimmered with lights, echoed with camera clicks, and buzzed with a sense of cinematic history being made.

What was meant to be a premiere for a new web series quickly evolved into a full-blown media spectacle. The red carpet felt like a who’s who of Bollywood. From Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to Kajol and Ajay Devgn, the A-list turnout was jaw-dropping. Every entrance was a moment, with celebrities donning dramatic couture, glamorous gowns, and statement looks that sparked a fashion frenzy.

The biggest highlight, however, was the presence of Shah Rukh Khan and his family, attending in support of Aryan Khan, who made his much-anticipated directorial debut. Aryan, known for staying out of the spotlight, finally stepped in—but on his own terms—as the creative force behind The Bads of Bollywood, a satirical action comedy web series that premiered on Netflix the same night.

The evening wasn’t without its emotional undertones. One particularly touching moment saw Bobby Deol comforting Aryan Khan, in what appeared to be an attempt to lift his spirits amidst the overwhelming attention. These intimate gestures gave the night a human touch, a reminder that behind the glitz were real emotions, dreams, and first steps being taken.

As the show begins its streaming journey on Netflix, all eyes are on Aryan Khan, who has taken his first step not as an actor, but as a director with a vision. The premiere may be over, but the buzz around The Bads of Bollywood has only just begun.
