# Manoj Pahwa's Hilarious Hesitation: Refusing to Call SRK 'Ghante Ka Badshah' in Aryan Khan's Bold Series! Imagine turning down a script line that roasts Bollywood's **King Khan** himself – that's exactly what veteran actor **Manoj Pahwa** did on the set of *The Ba****ds of Bollywood*, Aryan Khan's directorial debut.[1][2][3] ## Behind-the-Scenes Drama on *The Ba****ds of Bollywood* Manoj Pahwa, playing the uncouth uncle to the lead character Lakshya, spilled the beans in a candid chat on Kunal Vijaykar's YouTube channel *Khaane Mein Kya Hai*. He admitted to multiple **disagreements** with director **Aryan Khan** over the show's heavy dose of abusive language. "Main bola itni gaali vaali yaar, matlab mereko thodi si…. Itna badtameez aadmi," Pahwa recalled, feeling the dialogues made his character too crude.[1][2][3][4] But the real showstopper? A line where he had to call **Shah Rukh Khan** – Aryan's dad – "**Ghante Ka Badshah**" (roughly translating to "King of Nothing"). Pahwa balked: "Shah Rukh sir ko bola 'ghante ka badshah', maine bola aise thodi yaar." Aryan convinced him by revealing SRK had personally vetted the script: "Dad ne script padhi hui hai. Aapke mooh se gali badi achi lagti hai. Dad ne bola hai yeh rakhna zaroor."[1][2][3][4] Talk about fatherly endorsement! Pahwa praised Aryan's professionalism, noting how the young director insisted on him for the role despite auditions by others and pushed for retakes until perfection.[1][5] The series, a fictional take on Bollywood's underbelly, even topped IMDb's most popular Indian series of 2025, beating out *Black Warrant* and *Panchayat 4*.[4]
