Sahher Bambba on set of The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, praising Aryan Khan’s calm, sharp directing style.
Actress Sahher Bambba recently opened up about her time on Netflix’s ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’, sharing what it was like to be directed by Aryan Khan. From learning on set to witnessing his calm yet meticulous approach, Sahher gave fans a glimpse into the making of the new streaming hit.
Sahher Bambba, who plays Karishma Talwar in Netflix’s latest series The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, has spoken about her experience working under the direction of Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. In an interview with IANS, she described him as a demanding yet supportive director.
“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 said.
She went on to praise Aryan’s presence 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. 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.”
Sahher also highlighted Aryan’s thoughtfulness after filming hours ended. “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 series has been receiving attention not only for its storyline and fresh cast but also for the behind-the-scenes chemistry between the actors and Aryan’s directorial approach. Sahher’s insights offer fans a rare look at the young director’s meticulous, yet encouraging style.
The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is now streaming on Netflix.
