Sameer Wankhede has filed a Rs. 2 crore defamation suit against Red Chillies Entertainment and Netflix, claiming that their show *The Ba***ds Of Bollywood* contains false and defamatory content.
An Instagram post by Wankhede’s wife and actress Kranti Redkar has gone viral after she shared it two days following the show’s release. In the post, Kranti shared a video of her husband speaking about drug abuse among youngsters. She captioned the video:
“Drug problem is deep, it’s not something to be made fun of or laughed at. Hope people realise the seriousness of this problem before it’s too late (sic).”
She further added:
“Keep up the good work @swankhede.irs, your contribution to the society is profound. And we are all very proud of you. You could spend weekends having fun, going for vacations, but you choose to conduct anti-drugs awareness lectures and programs. Talking to the youth, shaping their young minds. We all stand by you and your movement (sic).”
Although she didn’t mention anyone by name, many speculate that this could be a subtle response to Aryan Khan’s show.
**Sameer Wankhede vs. *The Ba***ds Of Bollywood***
For those unfamiliar with the show, *The Ba***ds of Bollywood* features a scene where an officer arrives at a party and notices a guy smoking a joint. However, when he learns that the guy is not from Bollywood, he gets irritated but does not take action. Later, the officer spots another guy who is standing and drinking but not involved in drugs. Despite this, the officer arrests him simply because he is from Bollywood.
As soon as the show started streaming on Netflix, this scene went viral. Netizens began sharing it widely, claiming it was a direct jab at Sameer Wankhede, who had arrested Aryan Khan in a high-profile alleged drug case.
