Bollywood’s popular rapper and singer Badshah, known for his chart-topping hits and quirky social media posts, had fans deeply concerned on Wednesday. The artist shared a set of pictures on Instagram where his eye appeared swollen in one frame, and covered with a bandage in another. Instantly, the comment section was flooded with questions about his health, leaving followers anxious about what had happened.
While many fans sent him “get well soon” messages, others were left guessing whether the injury was real or just part of a project. A few even suspected could be a stunt related to a new song or a behind-the-scenes glimpse from a shoot.
What did Badshah say about his injury?
Badshah added to the curiosity with a witty caption that read: “Avtaar ji ka mukka hit karta hai jaise…”. Along with this, he used hashtags like #BadsOfBollywood and #Cocaina, which only fueled more speculation among fans.
The reference wasn’t random. In Aryan Khan’s directorial debut web series Bads of Bollywood, Badshah recently appeared in a special cameo where his character gets into a scuffle with Manoj Pahwa’s character, Avtaar. His caption cheekily pointed towards that sequence, suggesting the photos might have been part of the act rather than a real-life injury.
Is it just for Aryan Khan’s web series?
Fans who have been following Bads of Bollywood quickly connected the dots. The series has become one of the most talked-about OTT releases this season. Premiering on 18 September, it tells the story of Delhi-based actor Aasman Singh, played with raw intensity, whose journey is filled with ambition, struggles, and the chaos of showbiz.
Badshah’s fun post, therefore, could easily be a promotional spin, drawing attention to his cameo and keeping viewers hooked to the series.
Who else features in ‘Bads of Bollywood’?
Aryan Khan’s maiden directorial venture has pulled together some of the biggest names in the industry for cameos and special appearances. From Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Emraan Hashmi to filmmaker SS Rajamouli, the series boasts a star-studded lineup.
Actors like Bobby Deol, Manoj Pahwa, and Manish Chaudhari also bring strong performances to the table, adding depth to the layered narrative. With seven episodes already out, the show continues to surprise audiences with unexpected twists and high-voltage drama.
Fans are split between concern and speculation
Despite the clever caption, many fans are still unsure whether Badshah is genuinely injured. His swollen eye and bandage looked so convincing that even some of his close followers were left worried. However, given the timing with the ongoing buzz around Bads of Bollywood, a large section of fans believes it is a creative way of promoting the show.
Either way, the rapper has managed to keep everyone talking—whether about his health, his humour, or his on-screen cameo.
