Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor faces trouble after the NHRC moved to act against him for breaching the Prohibition Act. In Aryan Khan’s series Bad of Bollywood, Kapoor appears smoking an e-cigarette, which is banned in India.

The NHRC has also questioned Netflix and the filmmakers for showcasing prohibited products without warnings. A complaint by the Legal Rights Observatory stated that such promotion misleads youth.

NHRC member Priyank Kanoongo confirmed, “E-cigarettes are banned in India. No one can promote, sell, or import them.” A complaint has been filed with the Mumbai Police Commissioner against Kapoor, the production team, and the OTT platform.
