‘Hate messages coming from Pakistan’: Sameer Wankhede says defamation case against Ba***ds of Bollywood is personal; cites threats to family

Former Mumbai NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede on Saturday said that his legal action against Netflix and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment is entirely personal. \"My personal belief is that this has nothing to do with my job or my profession. In my personal capacity, I've approached the Delhi High Court. I wouldn't like to comment on the court proceedings or the issues involved, because the matter has been sub judice. This is a matter of self-respect, personal dignity, and personal honour.\" \"Whatever satire or parody you create, do it with your own people. Today, the issue of drug abuse has become a major issue for our nation, and by highlighting such things, you're insulting not just one person, but those who have worked with me, and others who fight against drug abuse,\" Wankhede said further. \"My family has nothing to do with my profession. They have nothing to do with my cases, my profession but why are they feeling the brunt of these kinds of things? Hate messages are coming from Pakistan, UAE, and Bangladesh. I will not accept that because of me, they are facing the brunt of it. We have regularly informed the police about the threats that my sister and my wife keep getting,\" he added. Wankhede approached the Delhi high court over the Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which he claims has maligned his reputation. Earlier this week, the Delhi high court issued summons to Red Chillies Entertainment, Netflix, and other respondents in connection with the defamation suit.
