Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan once made a candid, tongue-in-cheek confession on television: he would throw his elder son Aryan Khan out of the house if the boy ever turned out to be a 'good boy.' The remark, delivered with characteristic SRK wit, resurfaced as Aryan steps further into the entertainment world as a creator.

What Shah Rukh Said on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal

Appearing on the popular chat show 'Rendezvous with Simi Garewal' alongside wife Gauri Khan, Shah Rukh spoke at length about his parenting philosophy — or rather, his deliberate anti-philosophy. He said he wanted to spoil Aryan to the point where people would complain about him.

Shah Rukh said, 'He is going to be completely a spoiled brat. I've told all my heroines that if you have daughters, my son will be running after them, and every day I want complaints from all of them saying, ‘Please keep your son out of our houses.’ I want him to have a Harley Davidson jacket and I want him to wear studs and everything. He should be really cool, have long hair, and he should be a playboy and really spoiled.'

When host and veteran actress Simi Garewal asked whether Aryan would follow his father into acting, Shah Rukh replied with a laugh: 'Oh yeah that’s one of the bad things that you have to do, so he will have to do it.'

How Aryan Khan Actually Entered Bollywood

As it turned out, Aryan did enter the film industry — but not as an actor. He made his industry debut as a writer and director, choosing the creative side of the camera over its performative side. His web series 'The Ba*ds of Bollywood' premiered on 18 September 2025 on Netflix.

The show was produced by Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment, keeping it very much a family affair. Notably, neither the 'spoiled brat' persona nor the acting career materialised — Aryan charted a quieter, more craft-focused path.

The Cast of The Ba*ds of Bollywood

The drama featured an ensemble that included Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Bedi, Meherzan Mazda, Divik Sharma, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Rohit Gill, Neville Bharucha, and Armaan Khera.

Why This Moment Still Resonates

The clip surfaces periodically as a reminder of how even Bollywood’s most image-conscious star had a deliberately irreverent vision for his child’s future. That Aryan defied both expectations — neither the fictional 'playboy' nor a conventional actor — makes the old interview all the more compelling in hindsight. As Red Chillies Entertainment continues to expand its content slate, all eyes remain on what Aryan Khan directs next.
