Actress Sahher Bambba, who plays Karishma Talwar in the recently released streaming show ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’, has shared her experiences of working with Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan.
In a conversation, she praised Aryan, describing him as a hard taskmaster in the most positive way. She stated, “I think he’s quite a bit of a hard task master if I may say so, but in the best way possible because I think to all of us, he was just pushing us to go a little further, go beyond what’s written on paper. But at the same time, he had such clarity of thought and he knew exactly what he wanted. His attention to details.”
Sahher noted that Aryan was completely 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. Other than that, he’s really supportive. He’s got this really calm energy on set. Nothing fazes him, nothing at all. A hundred things could be going wrong, but he’s the most unfazed person.”
She reflected on her overall experience, saying, “I think I’ve had a blast. A lot to learn from him. Very considerate, very, very sensitive. I remember even after a pack-up, he would just call up and be like, ‘What did you think of the scene? Were you happy with it? Message once you get home.’ Little things like that—like him as a director, I mean, after a pack-up, who cares, right? But I think he’s really, he’s an amazing person.”
‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
