For actors Anya Singh and Sahher Bambba, the opportunity to share the screen space with Bollywood superstars like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan—who have a cameo in "The Ba***ds of Bollywood"—was a dream come true.
Produced by Gauri Khan under the banner Red Chillies Entertainment, the show marks the directorial debut of Shah Rukh’s son, Aryan Khan. The series co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan released on Netflix this week.
“Ba***ds of Bollywood” follows the journey of a charming outsider, played by Lakshya Lalwani, as he navigates the glitzy yet arduous world of Bollywood.
Anya, who plays the role of a manager to newcomer actor, Aasmaan Singh, shared her experience of sharing screen with both Shah Rukh and Aamir.
"Did we want to be in a room with Shah Rukh Khan or Bobby Deol? Yes. Did we think it was achievable? I think this show kind of put all our dreams together and it's like, ‘Now, go work with everyone’. It was too fleeting. That's just a great feeling,” she said in an interview.
For Bambba, the thrill of working with Salman Khan was the highlight. She plays Karishma Talwar, daughter of superstar Ajay Talwar, portrayed by Bobby Deol in the series.

“I think you’ve seen it (the scene) in the teaser, with Salman Khan. It was never there on paper. We were shooting for a scene and he just happened to come and give a shot. That was really memorable.”
"Other than that, even SRK did come on set. Just being in his presence was an amazing feeling,” the actor, who made her film acting debut with “Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas” opposite Karan Deol, said.
Bambba said streaming platforms have given diverse opportunities to an actor like her to shine.
She has been part of OTT shows like historical drama, “The Empire”, romantic series “Dil Bekaraar”, the sports drama film, “The Miranda Brothers”, which released on JioCinema last year.
“Ba***ds of Bollywood” also stars Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, and Gautami Kapoor among others.
