Aryan Khan’s audacious directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood has stormed onto Netflix and is already sitting comfortably at the #1 spot, sparking unprecedented buzz online. While the cameos and meta humour have drawn attention, it’s the core cast—Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, and Anya Singh—that has captured the audience’s imagination and social media feeds.
Phones haven’t stopped buzzing as fan edits, memes, and rave reviews pour in from across the globe, making the show’s young stars overnight favourites.
Bobby Deol on Embracing Ajay Talvar
For Bobby Deol, who brings Ajay Talvar to life, the response has been humbling. “It’s wonderful to watch the industry I’ve been a part of for 30 years and my loving fans embrace the show
as well as my character, Ajay Talvar. Aryan has captured the true spirit of cinema in a fun, quirky, and emotional way. The whole cast and team are on the receiving end of an outpouring of love from all corners of the world, and I’m truly feeling blessed,” he shared.
Lakshya Calls It “Surreal”
Shouldering the story as Aasmaan Singh, Lakshya described the whirlwind of fan love as nothing short of surreal. “Since the release, it’s been an avalanche of love from calls to messages, with people reaching out from everywhere. It feels unreal. To have people connect with Aasmaan’s journey—whether it’s the action, the chaos, or the vulnerability—makes every bit of hard work and the journey to get here worth it,” he said.
Sahher Bambba Wins Hearts
Newcomer Sahher Bambba, who plays Karishma Talvar, has been flooded with appreciation. “Karishma is a mix of sparkle and pizzazz, and for me, this role has truly been a dream opportunity. The response has been overwhelming — people have written to me saying they love my performance, and as a newcomer, to receive so much warmth and appreciation for the grace I’ve brought to the character feels incredible. I’m honestly just deeply grateful,” she admitted.
Raghav Juyal Steals the Show
Raghav Juyal’s Parvaiz has emerged as a fan-favourite, with viewers calling him the “scene-stealer.” His viral moment with Emraan Hashmi has further cemented his popularity. “Every other message I get says, ‘Parvaiz is the best friend we all wish we had.’ People are calling him the funniest part of the show, and the memes just keep coming. To also have my on-screen moment with Mr. Hashmi be celebrated like it’s being, has been especially joyous,” Raghav laughed.
Anya Singh on Playing Sanya
As Sanya, the hustling manager, Anya Singh has grounded the show’s flamboyant narrative. “I have enjoyed playing Sanya, crafted so effectively by Aryan. The fact that the fans are seeing the inner workings of an industry they love through my character and enjoying her hustler and go-getter energy is quite sensational. Honestly, the love and messages feel too surreal,” she said.
The Cast Defines Aryan’s Vision
If Aryan Khan’s vision was to flip the mirror on Bollywood with cheek, candour, and satire, this ensemble has made it feel authentic and human. Together, they’ve taken what could have been a sharp parody and turned it into something deeply personal and lovable. With memes trending, edits going viral, and fan chatter refusing to slow down, it’s clear the cast has struck gold.
The Ba***ds of Bollywood is streaming now on Netflix, and if the frenzy is anything to go by, this may just be the start of a new cult classic.
