The title of Aryan Khan’s highly anticipated Netflix debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, has already sparked heated conversations even before the series premiere. With its bold choice of words and curious use of asterisks, the show has left audiences wondering what exactly to expect. Now, members of the cast have shared their take on the much-discussed title, shedding light on its creative intent.
The Ba***ds of Bollywood cast explain the controversial title of the debut show of Aryan Khan
In a conversation with Radio Nasha, Raghav Juyal explained that the stylisation was deliberate. “They had to fit ‘Bads’ with ‘Bollywood’; and that’s why they have put an asterisk in it. It was for aesthetic reason.”
Lakshya, who plays one of the central roles, believes the title mirrors the world Aryan Khan has created for the series. “The essence of the show is hard to summarise in one word. When you see the show, you’ll figure out the meaning yourself because you cannot define it in one line. Aryan has created a vast, unique world—and just like its story, the title is attention-grabbing and unlike anything else.”
Veteran actor Bobby Deol drew parallels with his own experience in cinema. “It’s about the concept and the writing. Once you watch the show, the title makes complete sense. I remember doing Gupt, and people didn’t understand the title until Kajol’s twist was revealed.” Meanwhile, Manoj Pahwa revealed he wasn’t even told the name of the series until much later. “They didn’t even tell me the title beforehand. It was a surprise when it was finally revealed.”
Beyond its eye-catching title, The Ba**ds of Bollywood* marks the foray of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan into direction and storytelling, making it one of the most awaited originals on the streaming giant this year. The show promises a mix of glamour, ambition, and the darker undercurrents of the Hindi film industry.
What stands out is how the cast unanimously points towards the writing and concept as the driving force behind the unusual title. Instead of shock value alone, the name seems designed to spark intrigue while complementing the layered narrative Aryan has set out to deliver.
As curiosity builds, it’s clear that The Ba***ds of Bollywood won’t just be another addition to Netflix’s roster — it’s already a conversation starter, promising audiences a unique peek into Bollywood’s glittering yet complicated world.
