Sameer Wankhede and SRK
Sameer Wankhede recently filed a defamation case against Aryan Khan’s series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The case revolves around a character in the Netflix series, directed by Aryan Khan, which Wankhede alleges is a defamatory portrayal of him. After the Delhi HC issued summons, the officer has reacted to claims of leaked chats with SRK during the case.
He told HT City, “There is none… I am an officer of law, whatever books and Acts are there, I do as per that. We are not living in some kind of a banana republic out here. We have a constitution, we have a system, we have a set up. There’s a chain of command. I am a very small man, just a government servant. How can anybody have such a grudge and all those things, you know? These things are just loose talks."
