About “The Ba___ds of Bollywood” in a few words:

This satirical action-drama series (2025) by Aryan Khan follows Aasmaan Singh, a fresh face in Bollywood whose rise is tangled with contracts, crafty producers, and a superstar father pulling strings in the shadow. He signs on to a big film opposite Karishma Talvar, but as doors open, secrets crack—the show wrestles with ambition, family betrayals, and the wild realpolitik of the film world.

Meet the characters from The Ba___ds of Bollywood

Ajay Talvar

Ajay Talvar is basically the chaotic heart of The Ba___ds of Bollywood — equal parts charming mess and ruthless planner, which makes him impossible not to watch. He talks fast, drinks terrible tea, then writes the single line that’ll change an entire scene at 3 a.m. (Also collects old movie posters he insists are “future antiques” even though half are coffee-stained.) He can be infuriatingly decisive one second and then haunted by tiny doubts the next — but somehow those doubts make his big risks feel honest, not staged. He’s the kind of leader who will save the day and forget your birthday in the same hour, and you forgive him because his laugh is that contagious.

Aasmaan Singh

Aasmaan is the soulful, slightly mysterious creative — the guy who hears melodies in traffic jams and brings melancholic light to everything he touches. Quiet on the surface but volcano-under-ice intense in the studio, he’s obsessed with sound details (you will not believe how many pens he owns, honestly). He’s awkward with compliments and dramatic when he’s happy — like, breaks into accidental poetry — yet also perfectly practical when deadlines roar. There’s a stubborn tenderness to him; he’ll fix your mic and then refuse to take praise because “it was nothing” (liar).

Parvaiz

Parvaiz is the lovable wildcard — part choreographer, part stand-up, all unpredictability — and I swear he has a secret encyclopedia of bad jokes that somehow win every room. He’s late to everything but somehow saves the show with a last-minute idea that’s genius and also very risky, which is his whole brand. He’s fiercely loyal, soft in a way you didn’t expect, and also has this tiny scar above his eyebrow from a reckless youth stunt that he tells different stories about depending on his mood. Also: obsessed with cardamom, though sometimes he claims he only drinks coffee (contradictions are his accessory).

Karishma Talvar

Karishma is glamour with a sharpened edge — equal parts actress, strategist, and low-key tyrant when it comes to scripts, but she cries at rom-coms, like, hard. She runs meetings like a queen and backstage like a diplomat; everyone trusts her taste but also fears her eyebrow raise, which is legendary. Secretly super sentimental (keeps ticket stubs in an old chocolate tin) but will negotiate a deal that makes producers cry — in a good way, probably. She’s perfectionist, admittedly stubborn, and remarkable at spotting talent ten years before anyone else does.

Neeta Singh

Neeta Singh is the grounding force — the behind-the-scenes miracle worker who can calm a meltdown with a single, brutally honest sentence and a pot of something hot. She’s the practical heart of the group: organizes chaos, remembers birthdays, and knows exactly how to fix a busted zipper with a paperclip and half a prayer. She’s also unexpectedly delish at gossip (don’t tell her I said that) and hums old film songs when she’s concentrating, which is adorable and unnerving at 2 a.m. Fiercely protective, with a soft spot for underdogs and an inexplicable collection of novelty pens.
