A particular actor is capturing significant attention following the release of Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’. The web series, which offers a candid glimpse into the film industry on Netflix, has sparked considerable debate. One character, in particular, has resonated with viewers, drawing parallels to former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer Sameer Wankhede.
Fans are widely commenting on the actor’s uncanny resemblance to Wankhede, leading to a surge in his online recognition. The actor portraying the Narcotics Control Cell (NCC) officer, Ashish Kumar, has seen a notable increase in his social media following since the series premiered. He recently shared a clip from the show on his Instagram, quoting his character’s line, ‘I am part of war against drugs.’
While the series doesn’t explicitly confirm the character’s inspiration, the visual similarities and dialogue have led audiences to draw their own conclusions. The scene in question features an officer with a distinctive hairstyle and demeanor, who arrives to conduct a raid. His pronouncements, including ‘Satyamev Jayate,’ have been interpreted by netizens as a direct nod to Wankhede’s public statements during his controversies. Lines such as ‘Drugs have ruined this country’ and ‘I’m a wall against drugs’ further fueled these perceptions, suggesting a satirical take on Wankhede’s approach.
