New Delhi: Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood, has been making headlines ever since its release. The series features cameo appearances by as many as 21 celebrities, including Ranbir Kapoor. However, it's the very cameo appearance of actor Ranbir Kapoor that has now landed in controversy. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Mumbai Police Commissioner over a complaint alleging that the Netflix web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood showed actor Ranbir Kapoor using e-cigarettes on screen without any health warning or disclaimer, in violation of Indian law. The complainant argued that failing to include statutory warnings could mislead viewers, particularly younger audiences, and normalize the use of e-cigarettes. The NHRC has asked Mumbai Police to register a case against Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan's Red Chillies, and Netflix after the actor was seen vaping in a scene in The Ba**ds of Bollywood. Ba***ds of Bollywood Getting Good Reviews The Ba**ds of Bollywood has already clinched to the number 1 spot on Netflix in India just days after its release. Many viewers are appreciating the show’s ability to poke fun at Bollywood- nepotism, insider politics, star cameos in a pretty sharp, self-aware way Aryan's sister, Suhana Khan and childhood friend Ananya Pandey can't stop cheering as the show continues to receive love from fans. On Sunday, the two actors took to Instagram to give a shoutout to Aryan. While Ananya shared a throwback picture also featuring her cousin Ahaan Panday, Suhana showed how Aryan’s been number 1 since childhood. Shoutout For ‘Say No To Drugs’ Scene His sister, Suhana Khan, took to Instagram to express her pride, sharing photos from the premiere night and throwback shots from Aryan’s school days, including one where he held a school certificate and medal. In the caption, she simply wrote, “Always been number 1.” She also posted a snippet from the show featuring a “Say no to drugs” line, followed by the “Directed by Aryan Khan” credit- calling attention to a message that many viewers appreciated.
