Former NCB officer, Sameer Wankhede, is currently in a legal feud with Shah Rukh Khan and his son, Aryan Khan. Sameer Wankhede filed a defamation lawsuit against SRK-owned Red Chillies Entertainment in September 2025, as Aryan Khan’s directorial, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, allegedly maligned his reputation. Sameer claimed that the Netflix series maliciously portrayed him and anti-drug enforcement agencies. Amid the buzz around the issue, his wife, Marathi actress, Kranti Redkar, shared a cryptic post, which might be an indirect jab at Aryan’s series.
