Aryan Khan<\/a>\u2019s debut series The Ba***ds of Bollywood has sparked a strong conversation online ever since its release. While the Netflix show has found its fans, it has also drawn criticism for its dark portrayal of the Hindi film industry.One of the sharpest reactions has come from Viveck Vaswani, who shares a long-standing association with Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> dating back to his early days in Mumbai.In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Vaswani once again didn\u2019t mince words as he questioned the narrative presented in the series.\u201cShah Rukh was treated like a king in my house, my mother, my father, and I, we all looked after him. We used to eat dinner together, watch films together, and often go on sets together,\u201d he said.Recalling those years, he added, \u201cAziz Mirza gave him a place to stay, and Aziz\u2019s wife Nirmala Mirza was like his mother, just as my mother was. Saeed Mirza, Renu Saluja, and everyone associated with Circus as well as Karan Johar<\/a>\u2019s father Yash Johar, and Aditya Chopra\u2019s father Yash Chopra, all of them, without exception, treated him like a king.\u201dHe then questioned the show\u2019s tone, stating, \u201cHe came into the industry with a golden spoon. So why does he think it\u2019s a bad industry?\u201d <\/p>\n

Viveck Vaswani Felt Sad After Watching Aryan Khan’s ‘The B***ds Of Bollywood’! – Here’s Why! <\/p>\n

\u2018I have never seen anything like this\u2019<\/p>\n

Vaswani also objected to a particular scene that, according to him, paints an extreme picture.\u201cYou are showing a woman being kicked to the ground by a director. I have never seen anything like this in the industry. I have not encountered such evil people here,\u201d he said.Dismissing the idea of a largely toxic ecosystem, he continued, \u201cWhatever dirt or supposed \u2018evil side\u2019 of Bollywood people talk about, I have never seen it. Even Shah Rukh, who lived with me, never saw it.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2018Let there be good people too\u2019<\/p>\n

While conceding that the show might be drawing from second-hand accounts, Vaswani stressed the need for balance.\u201cWhy paint everyone black? There are decent people in the industry,\u201d he said.\u201cIf you are making something called The Ba***ds of Bollywood and want to show the darker side, that\u2019s fair, but let there be a Yash Chopra, who has been decent. Let there be a Yash Johar, or let there be a Viveck Vaswani who has always helped people. Let there be good people too,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aryan Khan\u2019s debut series The Ba***ds of Bollywood has sparked a strong conversation online ever since its release.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4196,321,93,61,60,8554,1266,168808,4195,69798,168810,168809,50633,130435],"class_list":{"0":"post-376840","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-aryan-khan","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-karan-johar","14":"tag-shah-rukh-khan","15":"tag-shah-rukh-khan-son-aryan-khan","16":"tag-the-bads-of-bollywood","17":"tag-viveck-vaswani","18":"tag-viveck-vaswani-friend-shah-rukh-khan","19":"tag-viveck-vaswani-slams-aryan-khan-show","20":"tag-yash-chopra","21":"tag-yash-johar"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
