The popular sitcom Big Bang Theory is currently in the news after it landed into legal trouble. A political analyst recently filed a case against the OTT platform Netflix as according to him the show insulted Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit. After the case came to the highlight, Bollywood celebs also criticized the dialogue used by Kunal Nayyar's character in the show.
According to ETimes, the veteran actress and politician Jaya Bachchan got furious over Nayyar’s dialogue and said, “Is this man insane? Badi gandi zubaan hai(he has a very bad . He needs to be sent to a mental asylum. His family should be asked what they think of his comment.”
Bollywood actress Dia Mirza also criticized the dialogue and called it “disrespectful and distasteful." Not only this, but the Bollywood actress turned politician Urmila Mantodkar said, “What?! I have no idea about the whole episode, so I shouldn’t be commenting. But if it is true, it is beyond outrageous. It shows their extremely cheap mentality. Do they really think this is humorous?”
The notice sent to Netflix reads, “My client is deeply concerned about the negative impact that such content can have on society, particularly in perpetuating harmful stereotypes and discrimination against women. This content is not only insensitive but also promotes sexism and misogyny, which is unacceptable in any form.”
According to the suit filed by Mithun Vijay Kumar, in season 2, while Jim Parsons's character Sheldon Cooper and Kunal Nayyar's character Raj Koothrapalli compared the two Bollywood actresses, Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit, Nayyar’s character used ‘derogatory and disrespectful remark’ for the latter.
In the episode in question, Sheldon Cooper calls Aishwarya Rai “the poor man’s Madhuri Dixit”, while Raj Koothrapalli counters with the reply, "Aishwarya Rai is a goddess, by comparison, Madhuri Dixit is a leprous prostitute"
Though netizens and Bollywood celebs are criticizing the remark after it got highlighted, however, Madhuri Dixit has not said anything about the incident. Meanwhile, Big Bang Theory is a famous sitcom that aired in 2007 and the show has 12 hit seasons.
