Samay Raina makes bold statement at Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood premiere.
At the Mumbai premiere of The Ba**ds of Bollywood on September 17, 2025, stand-up comedian Samay Raina turned heads not just with his appearance, but what he wore. Raina showed up in a plain black T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Say no to cruise.” 
The message on the shirt immediately raised eyebrows. It appeared to be a pointed reference to Aryan Khan’s widely publicised arrest in October 2021, when the Narcotics Control Bureau raided a party on the Cordelia Empress cruise ship. Aryan, along with several others, was detained in connection with the alleged party where drugs were reportedly found. 
However, Aryan was eventually cleared of all charges in the case due to insufficient evidence.
Meanwhile, the premiere, held at Mumbai’s NMACC, turned into a family affair as Shah Rukh Khan walked in with wife Gauri Khan and their three children, Aryan, Suhana, and little AbRam. The entire family made a strong style statement on the red carpet.
Aryan sported a sharp leather jacket layered over a casual tee, exuding effortless charm. Suhana Khan wowed in a mustard yellow slit gown, while Gauri Khan stunned in a chic black ensemble with a plunging neckline. Shah Rukh Khan, still recovering from a hand injury, opted for an all-black look, layered with a jacket and stylish accessories. AbRam, the youngest Khan, charmed paparazzi in a black jacket paired with sneakers.
The Ba**ds Of Bollywood, Aryan Khan’s first project as director and creator, has been co-written with Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the Netflix series is set to premiere on September 18, 2025.
Marketed as a bold and edgy satire, the show promises to deliver a hard-hitting narrative with self-aware humour, drama, and cameo appearances from Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Karan Johar. With the buzz from its glittering premiere, Aryan’s debut is already one of the most talked-about releases of the year.
