Aryan Khan Pokes Fun at Sameer Wankhede in Netflix Debut

Summary: In his Netflix debut, Aryan Khan parodies ex-NCB officer Sameer Wankhede in a sharp, symbolic scene.

Aryan Khan’s first web series, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, opens with a scene that's right now the talk of the town. In the debut episode, he cleverly aims at former NCB officer Sameer Wankhede, the man behind Aryan’s 2021 cruise drug case arrest.

The episode depicts a noisy, over-the-top figure who crashes into a star-studded party and declares a drug-free crusade. He shouts, “Drugs ne iss desh ko barbaad kar diya hai,” while dramatically arresting an innocent Bollywood actor and ignoring everything else happening around him. The resemblance to Wankhede—his look, his mannerisms—is hard to miss and clearly intentional.

The audience was quick to get the reference, flooding social media with video and comments praising Aryan's snappy, witty reaction. Many believe he attempts to reclaim control of the narrative, transforming a horrific personal event into biting satire.

Some have questioned the decision to merge real-life conflict with fantasy, but the majority think that the moment is bold and amusing. With this single scene, Aryan proves he’s ready to tell his story on his own terms—and he’s not afraid to have a little fun while doing it.
