Several Bollywood celebrities have been visiting the Deol residence to stand by them in their time of grief.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment has responded to Sameer Wankhede’s defamation suit over a scene in Aryan Khan’s show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. They claimed that while the show depicts an overzealous officer, it does not reference the Cordelia cruise case. IRS officer Sameer Wankhede pleaded in the Delhi High Court seeking an interim injunction on Aryan Khan’s series. Responding to Wankhede’s claims, senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, appearing for Red Chillies said that satire and fiction can co-exist.

“Can satire and fiction co-exist? There is no law that it cannot co-exist. I may be partly inspired by real persons and stories, yet there can be disclaimers, no problem with two existing together. Where is the ill-will or malice? This is about a success story in a Bollywood party. We are not looking at people who are sensitive; hurt is not ground for malice. Can you pick a stray instance, a passage here or there? The series is about 20 different issues. We do not show a documentary on the Cordelia cruise incident. I am inspired by overzealous officers. That is far from saying that this is the Cordelia cruise story.”

For the uninitiated, in 2021, Wankhede who was with the Narcotics Control Bureau, arrested Aryan Khan from the Cordellia cruise over a drugs case. However, Khan’s name was cleared later, and he was released from jail. In his show, there is a scene where an inspector from a fictional anti-narcotics agency arrests an actor over a false drug case. Wankhede argued that the officer shown in the show resembles him and urged that the scene should be removed from the show.
Taking a dig at Wankhede, advocate Kaul also argued that Wankhede loves giving interviews to the media and spoke about the issues after the show released.

He continued, “You cannot say that the person depicting ills in Bollywood cannot show overzealous officers. I cannot be responsible for what other people say… I am fully entitled to depict issues ailing Bollywood. Even if I am to project someone, a public official cannot be that thin-skinned. Even if I portray you unjustly it is still not a case. Every scene in this show is exaggerated. I am not ridiculing him or the emblem. I am talking about officials who have lofty idea.”

Wankhede sued Red Chillies, Netflix and Aryan Khan for defamation. The next hearing on this case is on Thursday. Also Read: ’Not Without Bias’- Delhi High Court Pulls Up Red Chillies Over Sameer Wankhede’s Defamation Case

Ever since Deepika Padukone exited Prabhas-starrer Spirit reportedly citing work shifts, the debate regarding professional work hours became the hottest topic in the film industry. The discussion about standardizing working hours – pushing for an 8-hour workday – has been ongoing. While actresses like Rashmika Mandanna have also weighed in supporting the need for healthier and regulated work hours, Keerthy Suresh is the latest actress to voice her opinion.

Keerthy gives a work shift breakdown
As part of promotions for her upcoming film Revolver Rita, Keerthy addressed the debated subject about an 8-hour workday in a press conference. She has made it clear and underlined that the thought of a “fixed shift” rarely reflects the reality of an actor’s life. “I do all kinds of shifts; 9 to 6, 9 to 9 and 9 to 2,” she commented. “While shooting for Mahanati, I have also shot for five other films. But I have also worked for films where the shooting was from 9 to 6.” The actress stated that while everyone discusses the 9–6 shift work hours, very few understand what actually happens behind the camera, and even the regular shifts are more demanding than it appears. Keerthy literally gives a breakdown on how work happens behind the camera. “For me, I work both ways. In a 9-6 shift, I have to be ready with make-up on the set by 9; so I have to be on the sets by 7:30…means I have to leave at 6:30 for which I need to wake up at 5:30.”

‘Hardly get six hours of sleep’
Keerthy’s statements underscore the persistent hierarchy of labour in the film industry. According to her, by the time actors complete work and return home, it’s already 10 PM. While everyone needs eight hours of sleep daily, Keerthy points out that it’s actually hard for actors to get that privilege during shoots. “What time do I have to wake up in the morning? At 5.30, we hardly get six hours of sleep, even when it’s a 9-6 regular shift,” said Keerthy, who recently got married to boyfriend.
