Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood first review comes from Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, he can't stop gushing
When asked about a project he's looking forward to, Ted said, 'We have a show called Ba***ds of Bollywood coming up. That is really fun. I'm gonna leave the audience to try to figure out the title completely. But it is so fun, I have got four episodes in, you'll be getting it soon too.'
In a recent chat with Raj Shamani, Karan Johar also praised Aryan and said, 'I don't know if I'm even supposed to say this, but I have huge belief in Aryan Khan's directorial talent. I don't want to say anything about his Netflix show, because he'll get very angry, but all I'll say is this: watch out. If there is a King, there will be a Prince. I can say this with confidence because I've seen the show. He has an individualistic voice as a director. He's not anything like you'd expect Shah Rukh Khan's son to be. He's his own person. He works quietly, he doesn't carry the baggage of his father, he doesn't carry the weight of his legacy. He works hard; he works 20 hours a day. He is a rare personality type.'
Shah Rukh unveiled the title of the show at a Netflix event in February and said, 'There is a story behind this name and Aryan and his team will present it later before you.' The official plotline of the show reads: 'An unabashed, entertaining ride through the adventures of a charming, ambitious outsider navigating the glitzy yet tricky world of Bollywood.'
The show is expected to feature some big names in cameo appearances, with the likes of Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh doing the rounds. Bobby Deol and Mona Singh are also reportedly starring in the series. A source close to the development revealed to HT that Sahher Bambba, who debuted in Bollywood opposite Karan Deol in the 2019 film Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, and Lakshya will be headlining the project.

‘I'm hitting on my coach': Movie star Eiza Gonzalez shares pictures of boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov returning after injury
Grigor Dimitrov disappointed his many fans when he withdrew from the upcoming US Open, bringing to an end a very strong streak of 58 consecutive appearances at Grand Slam tournaments. The Bulgarian star had to withdraw due to a pectoral strain suffered during his Wimbledon clash against Jannik Sinner, where he had the world number one against the ropes. Grigor Dimitrov and Eiza Gonzalez have been dating since April 2025.(Instagram) Nevertheless, good news for Dimitrov and his fans, presented via the Instagram stories of his partner and Hollywood actress Eiza Gonzalez. Dimitrov was seen already having returned to court, albeit in a more casual and low-key sense, as Gonzalez shared a series of images of the pair playing tennis together on her Instagram stories. Gonzalez, the star of Netflix TV series '3 Body Problem' alongside a range of action movies, captioned images of her being helped out by Dimitrov, playfully stating 'I am hitting on my coach.' Dimitrov and Gonzalez have been dating since April 2025, when the Mexican actress was seen in his player's box during several important tournaments. Gonzalez isn't the Bulgarian's first high-profile romantic partner: he dated tennis superstar Maria Sharapova in the early 2010s, before a long-term relationship with American musical artist Nicole Scherzinger. Gonzalez with consoling words for 'love of my life' Dimitrov The connect between Gonzalez and Dimitrov was made clear following the 34-year-old's heartbreaking retirement against world number one Sinner, after which he required medical attention in a hospital. Reposting an image of Dimitrov in a hospital bed recovering from his pectoral injury, Gonzalez penned a heartfelt public message hoping for his recovery. 'Love of my life. I couldn't be more proud of you. You are BEYOND outstanding… This is just a moment that will pass and will make you even stronger,' the Hollywood star had written on her Instagram story. Dimitrov was forced to walk off the court despite leading two sets to none, suffering a freak injury and leading to some truly heartbreaking scenes for one of the best-liked players on tour. Good news, then, both for Gonzalez and Dimitrov as he marked his return to the tennis court and even found some time to ease himself back into playing condition before the latter stages of the tennis calendar. The Bulgarian has played some of his best tennis in recent years, living up to the potential that always seemed to evade him in his 20s. The Wimbledon performance against Sinner is one tennis fans will remember for a while yet, but the hope will remain that the Bulgarian can truly contest for a grand slam title befitting one of the most exciting players on the tour, even in his veteran years.

Vir Das Jokes He Is ‘Described Like COVID-19' In Paparazzi Captions: ‘They'll Say Aamir Khan…'
Vir Das' hilarious acceptance speech after winning Disruptor Award at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025 is unmissable! Comedian-actor Vir Das recently won the 'Disruptor Award' at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2025. Among the other winners across various categories at the prestigious film festival were Aamir Khan, Neeraj Ghaywan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aditi Rao Hydari. Vir Das has now shared a video of his acceptance speech after winning the award at IFFM 2025, and it is going viral! In the heartfelt yet humorous speech, he hilariously described himself as the 'kadi patta', while the others were the main course. He joked that once they return to India, the paparazzi will describe stars like Aamir Khan and Malaika Arora in flattering ways, while his return will just be called 'Vir Das is back' — like COVID-19. In his viral speech at IFFM, Vir Das said, 'My name is Vir Das. I think this award answers the question I have been asking myself. And many of you are asking yourself. Which is 'what is a random tiny comedian doing in a massive film festival?' And the answer is, 'He is disrupting it'." He further added, 'I am not accomplished enough or talented enough to be at this festival with the people you see here tonight. It's like they are your main dish and I am your kadi patta. You will see the difference. If you don't believe me, when we all go home on the flight to Mumbai, please watch the paparazzi captions for all of these famous people." 'They will say Aamir Khan returns home looking wonderful, refreshed with his family. Malaika Arora wore a wonderful jacket. She got into a green SUV looking happy. Mine will say 'Vir Das is back'. I get described like COVID-19," he hilariously shared. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vir Das (@virdas) Soon after Vir Das shared the video of his speech, netizens congratulated him and praised his humour. 'I wouldn't mind a load of this #kadipatta Congratulations Vir," read one comment on the post, while another one read, 'Only a certain @virdas can go to take an award & give back with satire & laughs." 'I wish we could all be kadi patta in our own way….you Rock bro …. Congratulations," read a third comment. Vir Das, who made history as the first Indian comedian to win the prestigious International Emmy Award in 2024 for his special Landing, has made a global comeback with Fool Volume—his sixth stand-up special which premiered worldwide on Netflix last month. view comments First Published: August 16, 2025, 12:11 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
