Following defamation suit, the platform has decided to remove the scene at the centre of the dispute

xSameer Wankhede—the officer known for arresting Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan in a high-profile drug case—has filed a defamation suit against Shah Rukh Khan, his company Red Chillies Entertainment, and Netflix. Wankhede claims that a fleeting character in Aryan Khan’s new series The Bads of Bollywood bears an uncanny resemblance to him.

While the Delhi court is yet to deliver a verdict, Netflix has reportedly chosen to remove the contentious sequence.

A source close to the development shares, “It’s a two-minute footage, and its removal won’t affect the series in any way. Better to edit it out than let the matter fester in the public domain.”
