Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, made his directorial debut in 2025 with the series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The show became an instant hit, and fans loved it for its storytelling, performances and digs at the showbiz. However, now, Shah Rukh Khan’s Don 2 co-star, Alyy Khan, has expressed his disatisfaction over the show.
Alyy Khan slams Aryan Khan`s The Ba***ds of Bollywood
The British-Pakistani actor was seen on the ARY podcast wherein he voiced his opinion saying, “Recently maine Aryan ka kaam dekha The Ba***ds of Bollywood mein, mujhe bohot ajeeb laga. Ek toh family ke saath aap dekh nahi sakte hain kyunki language itni ajeeb hai. Aur uss language ki koi justification bhi nahi thi, aur jiss level ke log dekh rahe thay aap, kya woh aise sadak chap language use karte hai (Recently, I watched Aryan’s work in The Ba***ds of Bollywood, and I found it very strange. You cannot watch it with family because the language is so unusual. And at the level of the people being portrayed in the show, do they actually use such street-level language)?”
He went on to add, “Mujhe kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki eyeballs ke liye, ratings ke liye, iss tarah ke informed decisions liye jaate hai. Wohi cheez kehne ki bohot tareeke hote hai. Aur agar gaali dene bhi hai, toh closeup ki tarah honi chahiye na. Ki jab chahiye tab bolo aap, that’s when you get the impact. Agar har jumle mein woh aa rahi hai toh cringe hai woh, boriyat ho jaati hai (Sometimes it seems to me that such decisions are made just for eyeballs, for ratings. There are many ways to convey the same thing. And if you want to use expletives, it should be like a close-up, say it when it matters, that’s when it has an impact. If every sentence has it, it becomes cringeworthy and boring).”
