One week since its release, ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ is still ruling conversations—and Netflix India’s charts.

Marking Aryan Khan’s much-awaited directorial debut, the seven-episode satirical series dropped on September 18 and has since become a cultural phenomenon.

From trending memes to OTT domination, Aryan’s wild, unapologetic take on the Hindi film industry is proving to be a blockbuster in its own right.

This isn’t your average parody. With chaotic Gen-Z humor, biting satire, and self-aware commentary, the show dives deep into Bollywood’s most controversial tropes—nepotism, PR machinery, award show drama, and influencer-style fame.

Add to that the unlikely onscreen bromance of Lakshya and Raghav Juyal, and it’s no surprise that The Bads of Bollywood has become Netflix India’s biggest homegrown hit of the year.

But alongside all the laughs, one question is stealing the spotlight: how much did the cast actually earn?

Aryan Khan: As the creator, director, and co-writer of the show, Aryan didn’t just make headlines—he also made bank. Reports suggest he pocketed between ₹10-12 crore, making him the highest-paid member of the team.

Raghav Juyal: Winning hearts as the quirky Parvaiz, Raghav has become meme culture’s latest obsession. His paycheck? Around ₹2-2.5 crore, according to industry reports.

Lakshya: With his iconic dialogue—“Sitaare toh bahaut hai, lekin aasmaan sirf ek”—Lakshya cemented his place as fan-favorite Aasmaan Singh. He reportedly took home ₹2-3 crore.

Sahher Bambba & Anya Singh: The leading ladies of this satire storm were said to have earned between ₹1.5-2 crore each.

Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manish Chaudhari, Manoj Pahwa: These powerhouse performers, who added gravitas to the chaos, reportedly bagged around ₹80 lakh each.

From Aryan Khan’s sky-high fee to the ensemble cast’s impressive paychecks, ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ proves that when it comes to satirizing Bollywood, even the salaries are making headlines.
