Former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer Sameer Wankhede has alleged that he, along with his wife and sister, have become targets of online trolling following the release of Aryan Khan's web series, The Ba*ds of Bollywood. Wankhede claims that the series features a character resembling him, leading to defamatory content circulating on social media.

In response, Wankhede has filed a defamation suit against the show's creators, including Aryan Khan's production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, and the streaming platform Netflix. The Delhi High Court has issued summons to both parties, directing them to respond to the allegations.

Wankhede's legal team argues that the portrayal in the series is a deliberate attempt to malign his reputation. They contend that the defendants have not taken action to address the defamatory posts circulating online, implying their endorsement.
