The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought an Action Taken Report from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Mumbai Police regarding a complaint against Netflix’s web series 'The Bads of Bollywood'. The complaint revolves around a scene featuring actor Ranbir Kapoor using an e-cigarette, a banned substance in India, without any health warning or disclaimer. The petitioner has raised concerns that such portrayals could mislead younger audiences and inadvertently promote vaping, which is illegal in the country. And Ranbir Kapoor’s brief appearance in the e-cigarette scene has sparked debates among viewers, parents, and advocacy groups. The Commissioner has been given a two-week deadline to submit an action report to the commission.
