Ranbir Kapoor's cameo in Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," has gone viral, particularly a scene where he asks for a vape and interacts with Karan Johar. The series, which premiered on Netflix on September 18, 2025, is a satirical take on the Hindi film industry.

In the scene, Anya Singh, playing Sanya, the manager of aspiring Bollywood star Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), is offered a job by Karan Johar, seemingly to manage Ranbir Kapoor. Anya meets Ranbir (RK) for the first time, and he casually asks to share her vape. Despite being starstruck, Sanya declines the offer, stating she is a better friend and won't abandon Aasmaan.

Karan Johar, known for his playful nature, then turns to Ranbir and asks, "Is that the first time a girl has turned you down?". Ranbir playfully touches his chest and asks, "So, this is how it feels?". Karan responds with a humorous, "I wouldn't know". Before leaving, Sanya gifts Ranbir her vape, and Karan calls her decision "stupidity," but Ranbir corrects him, saying, "No Karan. That's loyalty".

The scene has resonated with audiences, showcasing Ranbir's charm and Karan Johar's humor. It's a rare moment where Ranbir Kapoor experiences on-screen rejection, sparking reactions on social media.

"The Ba***ds of Bollywood" features a cast including Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and Sahher Bambba. The series also includes cameos from other Bollywood personalities like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Shah Rukh Khan. The series is written and directed by Aryan Khan. The show explores the dynamics within Bollywood, depicting both those born into film families and those who have made their own way.
