All eyes were on Aryan Khan at the 75th Navbharat Times (NBT) Utsav 2026 on February 20 — and the young filmmaker didn’t disappoint. Walking the red carpet with what many described as “effortless swag,” Aryan exuded a calm, classy, and quietly iconic presence. No theatrics, no overstatement — just understated confidence that made him one of the most talked-about personalities of the evening.
But it wasn’t just about the red carpet moment. Aryan also took home a major honour at the ceremony, adding another feather to his cap after a breakthrough year. For proud father Shah Rukh Khan, it was clearly a full-circle moment — watching his son carve a distinct path in the industry, not in front of the camera, but behind it.
Aryan officially stepped into the professional spotlight on September 18, 2025, with his directorial debut, the Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Choosing storytelling over stardom, he served as writer and director for the seven-episode satirical action-comedy produced by Red Chillies Entertainment. The show follows ambitious outsider Aasman Singh (played by Lakshya Lalwani) as he navigates the egos and chaos of the Hindi film industry — blending sharp humor with insider drama.
The series boasted a dynamic cast including Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Raghav Juyal, and Sahher Bambba, along with headline-making cameos from Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Karan Johar. More importantly, it struck a chord with audiences. The show climbed to the No. 1 spot on Netflix India, entered the platform’s Global Top 10 for non-English shows, and was crowned IMDb’s Most Popular Indian Series of 2025.
With accolades such as Best Debutant Director of the Year at NDTV Indian of the Year 2025 and now recognition at the Navbharat Times 75th Anniversary, Aryan Khan’s trajectory feels both strategic and self-assured. If his red carpet poise is any indication, he’s not just stepping into Bollywood’s next chapter — he’s writing it.
