Bollywood isn’t just glittering premieres, champagne toasts, and red carpet selfies — it’s a full-blown rollercoaster of ambition, backstabbing, heartbreak, and friendship. And Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Bads of Bollywood, serves all of that up with a side of drama, chaos, and unapologetic glamour. Watching it, you might find yourself asking, “Which character am I secretly living through?” Don’t worry, we’ve done the detective work.
Aasmaan Singh – The Dreamer Who Breaks the Rules
The plucky outsider armed with nothing but raw talent and fiery ambition. Aasmaan storms into Bollywood like a whirlwind and learns — sometimes the hard way — that stardom isn’t just about talent. Contracts, compromises, and people who thrive on your missteps make him stronger. If you dive headfirst into chaos and never apologise for chasing your dreams, Aasmaan is your spirit twin.
Karishma Talwar – Glam, Grit, and a Little Bit of Drama
Born with a silver spoon but hustling to prove herself beyond her surname, Karishma is all sparkle and struggle. Privileged yet constantly working to earn respect, she’s the person who can light up a room while quietly grinding behind the scenes. If your life is a glamorous balancing act that requires a lot of hard work, welcome to Karishma’s territory.
Parvaiz – The Ride-or-Die Best Friend
Every lead needs a sidekick, and Parvaiz is the comic, loyal, hype man everyone secretly depends on. Turning disasters into laughter is his superpower. If you’re the friend who can lift spirits with a joke or be the emotional crutch your gang relies on, Parvaiz is basically you.
Ajay Talwar – The Superstar Who Runs the Show
Power, prestige, and that unmistakable aura — Ajay Talwar commands attention the moment he enters a room. Admired, feared, and in control, he’s the embodiment of vintage Bollywood royalty. If you love leading, setting rules, or just enjoying a touch of grandeur in daily life, you’re vibing with Ajay energy.
Neeta, Avtaar & Freddy – The Unsung Heroes
Neeta, Aasmaan’s nurturing mother, is the emotional anchor; Avtaar, the quirky uncle, brings warmth and wisdom in unexpected doses; and Freddy Sodawallah, the pragmatic producer, cuts through all the drama. Together, they remind us that Bollywood’s real magic is in the messy, human stories behind the glitz.
So, whether you’re chasing dreams like Aasmaan, gliding through glamour like Karishma, or cracking jokes like Parvaiz, The Bads of Bollywood is your backstage pass to a world as chaotic as it is fabulous. One thing’s for sure: there’s a bit of Bollywood in all of us — now, which character are you?
