Ranbir Kapoor Under Fire for Vaping Scene in The Ba***ds of Bollywood
Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor finds himself in hot water over a vaping scene in Aryan Khan’s much-anticipated directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The scene has triggered a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), raising concerns about the portrayal of vaping and its potential influence.
NHRC Complaint Seeks Action Against Kapoor, Netflix, and Producers
The NHRC complaint calls for an FIR against Ranbir Kapoor, streaming giant Netflix, which will distribute the film, and the producers of The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The complainants argue that the vaping scene promotes unhealthy habits and sets a negative example, especially for younger audiences.
The Controversy Surrounding the Vaping Scene
The specific details of the complaint haven’t been fully disclosed, but it seems to center on the potential for the scene to glamorize vaping and normalize its use. This isn’t the first time a Bollywood film has faced scrutiny for depicting smoking or substance use, but the involvement of the NHRC adds a new dimension to the debate.
