Have a look at Ananya’s story!
At the trailer launch of the series, producer Karan Johar said that if his characters Rohan and Pooja now had a baby girl, she would be Bae. He stated, “Bae really is a glorious Gen Z 2.0 derivative of Poo. So, she's really like where Poo ends, Bae takes off.”
Karan further explained, “That's the best way I can describe, because even when you saw the character of Poo, it started with all the fun and games, and then, of course, she contributes to the emotional gravitas of the ongoings in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.” He shared that the new series would also look fun and fashionable from the outside, but it will convey a lot.
The 2-minute, 34-second trailer of the show introduces Ananya’s character Bella, aka Bae, who has every luxury in the world. But soon, her riches disappear, and she has to start afresh in Mumbai. The comedy drama series will showcase her journey as she gets the job of a journalist and meets different people.

Her caption read, “Trying to perfect the ‘chick-flick scream’ for #CallMeBae but honestly I’m screaming with joy at all the love we’ve gotten on the trailer - grateful beyonddddd (link in bio for those who haven’t watched it yet!) #CallMeBaeOnPrime.”
