The Ba***ds of Bollywood is all set to land on Netflix on September 18. It marks Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's debut as a director. Ahead of the release, the whole cast has been praising Aryan as a director, his dedication, and hard work during various interviews. Now Raghav Juyal disclosed something interesting, yet the most-talked-about topic, and that is why Aryan does not smile in front of the camera.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Raghav Juyal revealed that Aryan Khan has a phobia of smiling in front of the camera. "He won’t smile in front of the camera, usko bahot pasand hai attitude mein rehna (he really likes to stay in attitude)," he said.
Raghav also added, "But, with us he makes faces as well. He has a very childlike energy in him. But, camera ke saamne uski aadat hai (in front of the camera he has the habit of not smiling), jo mujhe bahot achcha lagta hai aur ladkiyon ko bhi (which I really like and so do the girls).”

Additionally, Raghav said that he has told Aryan that one day he will definitely make him laugh in front of the camera, he asked him not to do that. "Toh jab bhi mujhse milta hai, main usko bolta hu hasunga main tujhe pakka (So whenever he meets me, I tell him I will definitely make you laugh)," Juyal added.
Written and directed by Aryan Khan, the show is produced by Gauri Khan. The show is a classic satire on Bollywood's behind-the-scenes world. The series stars Lakshya and Sahher Bambba, Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Rajat Bedi, and Manish Chaudhari in key roles. The show also features cameos by Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh. The six-episode series is set to release on Netflix on 18 September.
