Manish Chaudhari is beaming with pride these days. The talented actor recently sat down for a chat, full of praise for his new series, ‘Bads of Bollywood.’ In the show, he plays a strong producer named Freddy. Manish is thrilled to be part of this buzz-worthy project. It marks the directorial debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan.
‘Bads of Bollywood’ is really making waves and getting lots of love. But Manish says he’s not surprised at all. “Aryan Khan has done an amazing job!” Manish shared. “People are just now seeing how great Aryan’s series is. But we, the actors, have known for the past year and a half that this would be the outcome.” He added that Aryan poured passion into the story. He crafted every character with incredible detail. Each role, whether big or small, starts well and finishes perfectly. Manish truly believes Aryan’s directing work is simply outstanding.
Of course, being Shah Rukh Khan’s son brings its own set of expectations. There must have been huge pressure on Aryan, right? Manish agrees. “Yes, Aryan Khan definitely felt the pressure,” he stated. Then he dropped a classic line, “But coal turns into a diamond when it’s under pressure.” He quickly added that both Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are incredibly proud of their son. They are surely beaming over the fantastic series Aryan has created. Manish is very happy to be a part of it too.
So, did Manish join the series just because of Shah Rukh Khan? He chuckled at the thought. “I’ve always admired Shah Rukh Khan,” Manish admitted. “His charm in movies and his energy draw you in. Not every actor has that.” But when Aryan’s team reached out, Manish focused on the story. He feels a stronger connection to good scripts than to famous names. After reading the ‘Bads of Bollywood’ script, he knew he had to do it. He was also happy that Aryan chose him for the role of Freddy. “Freddy is the most exciting character in ‘Bads of Bollywood’,” he shared. Manish confessed that as an actor, he has many hopes for his craft. He feels Aryan Khan truly helped him achieve these acting dreams through ‘Bads of Bollywood.’
