Popular sitcom 'Big Bang Theory' has courted controversy after political analyst Mithun Vijay Kumar sent a legal notice to Netflix regarding a derogatory remark about Madhuri Dixit mouthed by one of its lead characters.
In one 'Big Bang Theory' scene, the two main characters Raj Koothrapalli (played by Kunal Nayyar) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) can be heard having a conversation about Indian actresses Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit. When Sheldon Cooper remarks that Aishwarya Rai is a poor man's Madhuri Dixit, Raj, quickly retorts by saying, 'Aishwarya Rai is a goddess, by comparison, Madhuri Dixit is a leprous prostitute.'
Though the dialogue was aired in an episode of the show, which premiered several years ago, it became a controversy only recently.
