Actress Sahher Bambba, who plays Karishma Talwar in the recently launched streaming series 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood,' has lauded Aryan Khan's directing abilities, revealing his caring attitude on set. In an interview, Bambba shared her experiences working with Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, praising him as a "hard task master" who pushed the actors to go beyond the script.
Bambba told IANS that Aryan would call after a pack-up to ask for feedback on the scenes. She stated that he would ask questions such as, "What did you think of the scene? Were you happy with it?". She also mentioned that he would tell her to "Message once you get home". Bambba noted that these "little things" demonstrated his dedication as a director, stating, "I mean, after a pack-up, who cares, right? But I think he's really, he's an amazing person".
She also emphasized his clarity of thought, attention to detail, and calm energy on set. "He was really locked in and present as a director. Honestly, I didn't feel like I was working with somebody new. It almost felt like I was working with somebody who's been doing this for decades," Bambba said. She added that despite any problems that might arise, Aryan remained unfazed.
According to Times Now, Aryan Khan ensured that Sahher Bambba got home safely after filming, demonstrating respect and thoughtfulness.
"I think I've had a blast. A lot to learn from him. Very considerate, very, very sensitive," Bambba stated.
Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, and Anya Singh, who also star in "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," have spoken about Aryan Khan's directorial style. According to Hindustan Times, the cast revealed that they initially did not receive scripts, as Aryan had the entire show in his head. Sahher Bambba added that every day brought a new surprise and that Aryan's vision was so clear that it helped the actors perform and bring his vision to life. She also noted that he gave them room to improvise.
Raghav Juyal was struck by Aryan's conviction. He stated that Aryan knows what he wants and will do it even if the world opposes him, which is brave for a first-time director.
