IRS Officer Lists Similarities Between Him and TV Show Character
Imagine a TV show was made about a police officer.
An actual IRS officer named Sameer Wankhede thinks a character in the show looks like him and acts like him.
He also feels the character does things he did, like arresting a famous person and using a special phrase.
He told the court that the show is not just a made-up story.
He believes the show's creators are trying to make him look bad on purpose.
Because of this, he and his family have been getting mean messages, and he wants to protect his reputation.
IRS officer Sameer Wankhede has responded to a defamation case against Red Chillies Entertainment.
Wankhede claims a character in the show 'The Ba***ds Of Bollywood' is similar to him in physical appearance, mannerisms, and actions.
He highlighted the character's arrest of an influential person and use of the phrase 'Satyameva Jayate' as specific similarities.
Wankhede disputes the claim that the show is entirely fictional, citing an admission that it was 'inspired by some real events'.
He stated that the show's tone suggests a personal vendetta and has led to offensive messages being sent to him and his family.
