Bobby Deol talks about Aryan Khan

Bobby Deol, who plays an important role in Aryan Khan’s first Netflix series, The Bads of Bollywood, recently opened up about the tough times Aryan has faced in his life.

His remarks sparked controversy because former NCB cop Sameer Wankhede is suing the show for defamation. In spite of this, the show has received positive reviews from both critics and viewers, who have praised its compelling plot and outstanding performances.

On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Bobby was asked if he saw any similarities between himself and Aryan, since both come from big film families. Bobby was candid, saying, “I guess, I wish I had the same fire as he has now. I mean, I started off with a lot of fire... but things got delayed for me a lot... Other than that, no, I think he's very talented. I don't know if I am that talented. His persona attracts you.”

He also talked about the pressure Aryan must be under, and how it compares to what he experienced. “Definitely. I'm sure he is. I mean, he has been through a lot more than I have, in many other ways, which no child should ever go through. But that's the way the world is becoming right now.”

Sameer Wankhede filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming the show's creators harmed his reputation and demanding Rs 2 crore in compensation. The case will soon be heard by the Delhi High Court, but the creators have not yet commented publicly.

In the meantime, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, and other members of the cast of The Bads of Bollywood continue to win over fans. Despite the challenges, it is evident that Aryan is leaving his mark as a director.

Many people are keeping a close eye on the legal dispute to see how it may affect Aryan's career and the future of this exciting new series.
