Did Aryan Khan Roast Sameer Wankhede in His Netflix Series ‘The Bads of Bollywood’?

The internet is buzzing with chatter about Aryan Khan's new series, The Bads of Bollywood. Released on Netflix, the show has sparked discussions due to a character resembling former Narcotics Control Bureau officer Sameer Wankhede. This character appears in the first episode, stepping out of a police jeep and delivering a speech about the film industry's drug issues.

In 2021, Sameer Wankhede was involved in Aryan Khan's arrest during a cruise party in Mumbai on drug possession charges. Aryan was later cleared, and Wankhede faced corruption allegations. This history adds an intriguing layer to the show's depiction of a similar character.

Internet Reactions

Social media users have been quick to draw parallels between the character and Wankhede. Comments like "Aryan Khan roasted Sameer Wankhede #TheBadsofBollywood" and "Bro #AaryanKhan literally roasted the life out of Sameer Wankhede" highlight the public's amusement at these similarities.

Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, makes his directorial debut with this series. Produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, it features actors like Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, and Gautami Kapoor.

Sameer Wankhede's Perspective

Last year on The Gaurav Thakur Show, Sameer Wankhede addressed questions about Aryan's arrest and Shah Rukh Khan's film Jawan. When asked if a line from Jawan hinted at him, he stated: "Dekhiye mein kisi ka naam leke kisi ko famous nahi karna chahta hoon... (I don't want to take names and make anyone famous...)." He refrained from commenting further due to ongoing legal proceedings.

The character in The Bads of Bollywood wears a white shirt and dark pants with short hair—traits that resemble Wankhede. This portrayal has led many viewers to speculate about intentional parody or satire within the series.
