This week on Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast, we return to a full-length catch-up episode and immediately spiral into discussions about playback legends, celebrity reinventions, political memes, and why the internet has suddenly decided Diljit Dosanjh is the hottest man alive.
We begin with a tribute to Asha Bhosle and what made her such a singular figure in Indian music. From cabaret songs and ghazals to Brit-Asian remixes and Gorillaz collaborations, we talk about the career of someone who never allowed herself to be boxed into one era or one sound.
Then we move onto Aamir Khan and his increasingly public phase of self-analysis. Are the flop narratives overblown? Has Bollywood itself lost confidence in what audiences want? And why does every Aamir interview suddenly feel like a live therapy session?
Elsewhere in the episode:
Karan Johar finally gets his Met Gala validation
The strange online discourse around Diljit’s global rise
Why comparing Diljit to Sidhu Moosewala reveals bigger conversations about class and celebrity
Vijay’s political victory and influencer politicians
50 50 - Pakistani sketch comedy from the 80s altering brain chemistry
Korean movie recommendations
And several completely unnecessary detours along the way
