Salman Khan has spoken about The Bads of Bollywood.

What Salman said about Aryan Khan

In a clip from the event that has surfaced on X, Salman said, “Aryan made a web show, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. It has done really, really well. So now his upbringing is the same! He did not want to… I would rather have him in front of the camera, and super serious father… and like I said earlier, Aryan will be the only person he will be happy with if Aryan succeeds him (smiles).”

Shah Rukh laughed and added, “Or if Salman has a son! Then I would like him to be the biggest star ever in the history of mankind. So we are working on that. But like Salman said, all the youngsters now are now very video-literate and it has helped Aryan a lot.”
