Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan is finally stepping into the spotlight—this time not as an actor, but as a filmmaker and showrunner. His debut web series The Bads of Bollywood has already started grabbing headlines after its powerful first-look release on August 17, 2025. And while the industry is buzzing, one voice in particular made waves: Brazilian model and actress Larissa Bonesi, widely speculated to be Aryan’s close companion, who showered him with a heartfelt shout-out.
Larissa Bonesi’s Fiery Support
The model didn’t hold back when she took to Instagram to celebrate Aryan’s milestone. Sharing the teaser, she called him:
- “Unstoppable, unmatched, and truly World’s #1!”
- Added, “Proud is an understatement.”
This isn’t Larissa’s first show of support. Earlier in February 2025, when Netflix officially announced The Bads of Bollywood, she posted, “Thaaat’s fire! The most awaited show in the whole world, by the beast, the genius, and the number one, Aryan Khan.”
Her constant encouragement has turned the spotlight not only on Aryan’s project but also on their rumored bond, making them one of the most talked-about duos in the industry right now.
The First Look: Aryan’s Voice, His Father’s Legacy
The teaser of The Bads of Bollywood struck the right chord.
- It begins with Aryan narrating in a baritone strikingly similar to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic voice.
- The camera then pans to reveal Aryan himself, offering audiences a glimpse of the man behind the series.
- The clip ends with an aura of mystery, raising expectations for what promises to be a hard-hitting, insider tale of Bollywood’s darker alleys.
Big Names, Bigger Expectations
Aryan has spent over a year crafting the show alongside writers Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan. Rumors are saying that the series may feature cameo appearances from heavyweights like Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh however, it’s not publicly announced. With Netflix backing the project, it’s already being hailed as one of the most ambitious OTT debuts of the year.
A Provocative Thought
For years, Bollywood has been accused of gatekeeping and favoritism. Aryan’s entry isn’t as an actor cashing in on his father’s superstardom, but as a storyteller trying to build his own voice. Ironically, it’s his very surname that ensures all eyes are glued to this project. Will he silence critics by delivering a groundbreaking series—or will The Bads of Bollywood become a test case for the industry’s nepotism debate?
One thing is certain: Aryan Khan has arrived, and the world is watching.
