With 12 successful seasons, the popular television sitcom series 바카라The Big Bang Theory바카라 has grown to become an important part of pop culture. However, the show found itself in a soup when someone filed a complaint with Netflix. The complainant asked the streaming giant to remove one scene that featured Kunal Nayyar바카라s Raj and Jim Parsons바카라 Sheldon Cooper.

Back in 2008, the first episode of the second season of 바카라The Big Bang Theory바카라 featured a conversation between Raj Koothrapalli and Sheldon Cooper. In the 바카라The Bad Fish Paradigm바카라 episode, Raj and Sheldon are seen talking about Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Sheldon calls Aishwarya 바카라a poor man바카라s Madhuri Dixit바카라. To which Raj Koothrapalli responds by saying, 바카라Aishwarya Rai is a goddess, by comparison, Madhuri Dixit is a leprous prostitute바카라.

A political analyst wrote to Netflix as he was not impressed by the scene. He sent a legal notice to Netflix and asked them to remove the scene. He had filed a complaint in March 2023 and had shared a copy of the legal notice on his X (formerly, Twitter) account. He tweeted, 바카라Recently, I came across an episode of the show Big Bang Theory on Netflix where Kunal Nayyar바카라s character uses an offensive and derogatory term to refer to the legendary Bollywood actress @MadhuriDixit. As a fan of Madhuri Dixit since childhood, I was deeply disturbed by the dialogue. I found it highly derogatory and offensive towards Indian culture and women.바카라

Netflix responded to the complaint and forwarded it to Warner Brothers who are in charge of the content that comes on 바카라The Big Bang Theory.바카라 The streaming giant did that because they do not have the power to change scenes, only Warner Brothers can sit with the makers of the show and take a call.
