The much-awaited Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, is now streaming on Netflix, and fans are going crazy over a scene that many believe takes a subtle dig at ex-Narcotics Control Bureau officer Sameer Wankhede, who had arrested Aryan in a high-profile alleged drug case.
The netizens are talking about a scene from The Ba**ds of Bollywood* where an officer arrives at a party and sees a person smoking a joint. When the officer gets to know that the person is not from Bollywood, he gets annoyed. Later, the officer spots another person, simply standing and drinking without using drugs, but because he is from Bollywood, he is arrested.
The moment did not go unnoticed by viewers. A netizen shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter) writing, “The Sameer Wankhede cameo in the Bads*** of Bollywood is too good lol. Iykyk.” Another user commented, “Sameer Wankhede in the first episode and he is sounding exactly like him,” while yet another tweeted, “SAMEER WANKHEDE is gonna have a blast watching this.” Fans on social media are talking about the scene, with many debating if it has a real-life reference. The moment has quickly grabbed attention online.
Social media sites like X and Instagram are full of reviews. Mostly, netizens are appreciating the series, and supporting Aryan’s directorial debut. But some seem to be disappointed. One of the X users posted, “The Bad**Bollywood* series is boring as hell from the very first episode. The dubbing of the actors is not in sync, and we all know Bollywood is fantasy, but this feels more like I’m forcing myself to like it just because of SRK’s son.”
