Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," is now streaming on Netflix, and it's stirring quite the buzz, with viewers speculating whether a particular scene subtly mocks Sameer Wankhede, the former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer who arrested Aryan in 2021 in an alleged drug case.

The scene in question depicts an officer raiding a Bollywood party. The officer spots someone smoking a joint, but when he realizes the person isn't connected to Bollywood, he becomes irritated. He then arrests another individual, who is merely standing and drinking, simply because he is from Bollywood.

Social media has exploded with reactions to this scene. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "The Sameer Wankhede cameo in the Ba***ds of Bollywood is too good lol. Iykyk". Others echoed this sentiment, with comments like, "Sameer Wankhede in the first episode and he is sounding exactly like him," and "SAMEER WANKHEDE is gonna have a blast watching this". The scene has rapidly gained attention online, with many debating whether it's a direct reference to the events of Aryan Khan's arrest.

The 2021 arrest of Aryan Khan by the NCB, under the direction of Sameer Wankhede, triggered a massive public reaction, intense discussion, and significant online harassment. Wankhede faced accusations of impropriety, including allegations of demanding a large bribe from Shah Rukh Khan's family in exchange for clearing Aryan's name. Later, Aryan Khan received a clean chit and was cleared of all charges.

In the aftermath of the controversy, Wankhede addressed the trolling he faced, stating that it was "entertainment" for him and that he had faced far worse, including "bullets, terrorists". He also refuted claims that Aryan Khan had no drugs on him at the time of his arrest, explaining that in drug cases, there is a manufacturer, a seller, and a buyer.

While neither Aryan Khan nor his family has directly commented on the case before, the scene in "The Ba***ds of Bollywood" has led many to believe that Aryan is finally sharing his side of the story. Some suggest the scene is a fictionalized representation of what may have transpired the night of the Mumbai to Goa cruise raid.

The series, produced by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, is described as a satirical take on the inner workings of Bollywood. It explores themes of nepotism and the struggles of outsiders trying to break into the industry. The show features Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and Sahher Bambba, among others.

Whether the scene is a deliberate jab at Sameer Wankhede remains unconfirmed, but the internet is abuzz with speculation and commentary, highlighting the lasting impact of the 2021 drug case and Aryan Khan's creative response to it.
