Netflix India content head endorses Aryan Khan’s debut show, calls it ’emotional’: ‘It’s everything you see in best kind of Bollywood films’

While reflecting on Netflix India’s collaborations with a range of filmmakers and storytellers, she said, “If you look at the journey we have had, we have worked with some of the best creators.” She explained that while some filmmakers were enthusiastic about exploring streaming, others needed a little ‘cajoling’.

Recalling one such moment, Monika Shergill spoke about filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the quirky way they engaged with him. She said, “With SLB, when you are discussing thing with him, it is important to have street food on the table, he loves having street food.”

Sharing how each creator has a unique process, she said, “With Aditya Chopra, it’s an intense discussion. He likes to know how the audience is thinking and what becomes successful. It helps him create for the audience who goes to theatre but behaves differently on streaming. It is very joyful with Karan, had a great time making The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. With Shah Rukh, it has been an enduring relationship across formats.”

Earlier while speaking at Waves Summit 2025, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos also endorsed Aryan Khan’s show and said, “It is really fun, and I am going to leave the audience to try to figure out the title completely, but it is so fun. I am four episodes in.”
