Red carpets for Bollywood premieres are not merely a venue for films to showcase themselves here; they are a runway on which fashion, glamour, and stories unfold. The recent Ba**ds of Bollywood premiere of Aryan Khan’s highly awaited directorial debut was no different. While the spotlight was firmly on Aryan, the event also fuelled chatter around his rumored relationship with Brazilian model-turned-actor Larissa Bonesi.
Aryan Khan Steps Into His Own Spotlight
The premiere was a glittering affair, graced by the crème de la crème of Bollywood. Big names such as Madhuri Dixit, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Farah Khan, and Karan Johar walked the red carpet, underlining the scale of the evening. Yet, as expected, the night belonged to Aryan Khan.
For years, Aryan has chosen to maintain a low-key persona, appearing occasionally at events but avoiding interviews and public conversations. This time, however, he wasn’t just another guest on the carpet; he was the filmmaker behind one of Netflix’s most-awaited series.
Wearing a simple black T-shirt, jacket, and jeans, Aryan oozed easy confidence as he posed for the paparazzi. He also posed in warm moments with his family members, including Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Suhana Khan, and his youngest child, AbRam, who joined him to celebrate the big moment. For some, it was a defining moment: Aryan taking center stage not only as “SRK’s son” but as a creative talent forging his own niche.
Larissa Bonesi Joins the Hype
While Aryan was in the news for his directorial debut, much of the interest at the function also centered on Larissa Bonesi. Known for her modeling and acting work in India, Larissa has been linked to Aryan for some time now, though neither has confirmed the relationship.
At the premiere, she turned heads in an elegant black off-shoulder dress, coincidentally matching Aryan’s choice of color. The two didn’t pose together, but their “twinning” looks were enough to set the internet buzzing. With her radiant smile and poised interactions with photographers, Larissa ensured she left her own mark on the evening.
This wasn’t the first time she had shown public support for Aryan. Earlier this year, when Aryan unveiled the first look of The Ba**ds of Bollywood, Larissa reshared it on Instagram with a heartfelt caption: “Unstoppable, unmatched, and truly the world’s #1! Proud is an understatement!” Aryan even reshared her post, a rare gesture from someone who usually keeps his private life away from the spotlight.
Internet Reactions: The Fan Verdict
In today’s digital world, no celebrity moment is complete without an avalanche of online reactions. Clips of Aryan and Larissa from the premiere quickly flooded Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). Fans were quick to connect the dots.
“She looks really pretty? Are they seriously dating?” one user asked. Another wrote, “They will look good together.” A cheeky fan commented, “Khan-daan ki bahu,” while another noted, “Twinning in black at his event. Cute, they are.”
Though both Aryan and Larissa continue to remain silent on their relationship status, these subtle cues, be they social media shoutouts or coordinated looks, keep gossip mills running at full speed.
About The Ba**ds of Bollywood*
While the whispers of romance dominated headlines, the real star of the evening was Aryan’s debut project. Written and directed by him under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner, The Ba**ds of Bollywood is a seven-episode Netflix series set to release on September 18.
Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya) is the wide-eyed young Bollywood newbie with ambitions as grand as the silver screen. His best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal) and manager Sanya (Anya Singh) join him on the rollercoaster ride of fame. Supporting the cast are Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Vijayant Kohli, Rajat Bedi, and Gautami Kapoor, lending depth to the story.
The series promises to explore ambition, betrayal, and the seductive pull of fame, depicting Bollywood as gaudy and ruthless.
A Single Night That Distinguished Aryan Khan
This debut was not merely a debut for Aryan; it was a declaration of individual will. By going the route of writing and directing instead of acting, he has shown that he wants to be remembered as an individual and as a creative artist. His choice is an exercise in restraint and a commitment to carving out his own space in an area that has known him forever, with the looming shadow of his father.
As for Larissa Bonesi, she provided a sidebar of interest, reminding everyone that personal lives run alongside professional achievements. Whether the two are merely close friends or otherwise, whatever chemistry exists between them has undeniably captured the public’s imagination.
