MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE BA***DS OF BOLLYWOOD AHEAD!

The Ba***ds of Bollywood plot

The Ba***ds of Bollywood is the story of newcomer Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), who has tasted success with his first hit and is now a sought-after star. After he signs a Karan Johar film opposite debutante Karishma Talwar (Sahher Bambba), her superstar father, Ajay Talwar (Bobby Deol) tries every scheme to get Aasman dropped from the project. His initial reasoning is that he wants his daughter to be launched with a star. However, episode 7 reveals Ajay's real intention.

The Ba***ds of Bollywood ending explained

In episode 7, Aasmaan and Karishma, having fallen in love, plan to elope and inform Aasmaan's mom, Neeta (Mona Singh). Ajay shows up at the venue to spoil the party. As the two trade punches, Neeta arrives and stops them, tearfully informing Aasmaan that Ajay is his father, which makes Karishma his half-sister. A flashback shows how Neeta and Ajay came close while filming Sailaab together 26 years ago, when Ajay was a young star and Neeta a backup dancer.

This Game of Thrones-esque twist means that Karishma and Aasman's planned wedding does not go forward, and the two decide to stay friends. Parallelly, Freddi Sodahwallah, a film producer who has a history with both Ajay and Aasmaan, also discovers their secret and plans to use it to his benefit.
