Sameer Wankhede Responds to Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Bete ko Haath Lagane se Pehle’ Dialogue from ‘Jawan’ | – Times of India

Shah Rukh Khan received immense love and appreciation for his last film, ‘Jawan‘. While the movie gained popularity, some viewers noted that a particular dialogue delivered by his character Vikram Rathore, stating “Bete ko haath lagane se pehle…” seemed to indirectly reference the Aryan Khan case.
Aryan, SRK‘s son, had faced allegations of drug possession but was ultimately acquitted of all charges.Responding to this dialogue,Sameer Wankhede, the investigating officer in Aryan’s case, described it as ‘roadside’.

In an interview with MensXP, Sameer shared his perspective on the dialogue, characterizing it as rather roadside. He clarified that he doesn’t typically watch movies or pay attention to dialogues, thus lacking knowledge about this specific film. If the dialogue was aimed at him, he conveyed a preference for responding in English. Drawing inspiration from another writer, Sameer alluded to a history of involvement in actions resulting in burnt houses and bridges. He emphasized a lack of fear for any consequences, suggesting there’s no need for intimidation.

Sameer refrained from delving into details about the ongoing case, emphasizing its legal status. When asked about his past interactions with Shah Rukh Khan, he conveyed that those encounters were consistently affable. “I can’t discuss the case, but in our meetings before, it was always friendly. We knew each other quite well,” he mentioned.

Earlier this year, accusations arose against Sameer Wankhede, claiming that he had attempted to extort money from SRK to secure the release of his son, Aryan, from custody. Aryan had been detained for a month following the 2021 Cordelia cruise drug bust. During this period, Sameer presented messages purportedly sent by Shah Rukh Khan, asserting that there was no evidence to support the claim that he was seeking financial compensation from the star.

Wankhede’s plea stated, “Allegations pertaining to the arrest of Aryan Khan being only an attempt for demanding money in exchange of his release are blatantly false and can be clearly seen from the messages sent by Mr Shahrukh Khan himself during the time Aryan was in the custody of NCB. Mr Shahrukh Khan has, via his messages, clearly portrayed that he has no grievances against the Petitioner and has only requested to be kind to his son.”
