The Big Bang Theory, a popular series that streams on Netflix, has drawn criticism. In response to a debate in the programme about Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, political analyst Mithun Vijay Kumar filed the OTT platform a legal notice.
Aishwarya Rai is referred to as “a poor man’s Madhuri Dixit” by the character Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons, in one of the scenes. Rajesh Koothrapalli, played by Kunal Nayyar, responds, “Aishwarya Rai is a goddess, by comparison, Madhuri Dixit is a leprous prostitute.”
