A collage of two pictures has been making the rounds on social media—one from Aryan’s school days in uniform and another from the premiere night where he was seen posing with the same group of friends, now all grown up. Fans were quick to spot the then-and-now comparison and flooded the comment sections with heart emojis and words of admiration. Many praised Aryan for staying connected with his roots despite stepping into the limelight.

The premiere itself was a grand affair, attended by several A-list celebrities from the film industry who came to support the young filmmaker. While Aryan kept a low profile, letting his work take centre stage, his camaraderie with his old friends added a personal touch to the otherwise glitzy night.

For the uninitiated, The Ba***ds of Bollywood is Aryan Khan’s debut project as a director. The show takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the film industry, blending satire, dark humor, and sharp writing to explore the behind-the-scenes chaos of Bollywood. Starring an ensemble cast of Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, among others, the show promises a series of high-profile A-list cameos from some of the biggest Indian superstars.

The series has already drawn praise from several industry insiders, with many calling it a refreshing take on showbiz narratives. Aryan, who has previously assisted in film projects but chose not to act, has carved out his space behind the camera with this edgy show.

While Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan were visibly proud parents at the screening, Aryan’s reunion with his school buddies seemed to have stolen the spotlight for fans on social media. The viral photographs serve as a reminder that despite the glamour and pressure of being a superstar’s son, Aryan values the friendships that shaped his early years.
