The Ba***ds of Bollywood vs. Sameer Wankhede Defamation Row

-
The Allegation: The show, which is a satirical take on the film industry, features a character who is perceived as a thinly-veiled caricature of IRS officer Sameer Wankhede, the former NCB official who handled the drug case involving Aryan Khan in 2021. The character makes a fiery monologue about the "war against drugs" and is seen delivering an obscene gesture after reciting 'Satyamev Jayate.'

The Lawsuit: 

Sameer Wankhede has filed a ₹2 crore defamation lawsuit against Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, and Netflix, seeking to halt the streaming of the show and for damages.

Real and Reel

The Latest Update: 

The Delhi High Court recently questioned Wankhede's plea, specifically asking why the suit was filed in Delhi and not in Mumbai, where the events are centered. Wankhede has been asked to amend his plea.

Viral Reaction: 

The show has gained massive traction, not only for its satirical content but also for the on-screen reunion/cameos of all "Three Khans" (Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan) for the first time.

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...

Reaction of Nikunj Malik to Rahul Mahajan's Wedding With Dimpy Ganguly

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...

Shoaib, who is now staying at the home of Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, just five kms away from Ayesha's residence in Hyderabad, has been asked to come out clean by Ayesh's mother, Farisa Siddiqui, and clear the mess. "If he says that we had shown him photos of a different girl, and he was married to another girl, I simply ask him to release the photos of the girl.

HYDERABAD: The Shoaib Malik-Ayesha Siddiqui tangle turned murkier on Sunday with the latter slapping serious charges against the Pakistani cricketer with the police. Acting on the complaint filed late in the afternoon, the Banjara Hills police registered cases against Malik under sections 498A (subjecting married woman to cruelty), 420 (cheating) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC. Police said Ayesha has alleged that Shoaib married her, then harassed her over petty issues and later denied the nikah ever took place. Now, the complaint says, Shoaib is trying to marry again without her consent. Ayesha also alleged that Shoaib had offered her $1 million to keep the wedding under wraps and threatened to take her life in case she went to the media. A copy of the nikahnama was attached to the complaint, which was signed by Ayesha and brought to the police by her father. Two of the sections applied are non-cognizable offences which empower us to effect arrests. They are non-bailable to...
