Amid SRK’s Viral ‘Baap-Bete’ Dialogue From Jawan; Sameer Wankhede Shares Cryptic Note Sying 'I Fear No Hell'

Shah Rukh Khan is all set to return to the box office with yet another blockbuster, 'Jawan' after his super-successful film, 'Pathan'. Ahead of the much-anticipated release, the actor's iconic 'Baap-Bete' dialogue from the trailer has taken the internet by storm.

JAWAN'S VIRAL 'BAAP-BETE' DIALOGUE

While fans eagerly await the film's release on September 7, the dialogue has sparked speculation surrounding Sameer Wankhede, the CBI officer who led the probe against Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, in a high-profile 2021 drugs case.

The dialogue in question, "Bete ko haath lagaane se pehle Baap se baat kar" (Talk to the father before touching the son), went viral, and some of SRK's fans perceived it as a dig at Sameer Wankhede's involvement in Aryan Khan's case.

Aryan Khan's ordeal began when he was apprehended by the Narcotics Control Bureau during a drug raid on a cruise ship. After nearly four weeks behind bars, he was eventually granted bail. Eight months later, Aryan was exonerated of all charges in the case. Sameer Wankhede was at the forefront of the investigation against Aryan and was subsequently implicated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 25 crore in exchange for not implicating Shah Rukh Khan's son.

The viral 'Baap-Bete' dialogue from 'Jawan' has raised eyebrows among SRK's fans, with some interpreting it as a veiled reference to Sameer Wankhede's involvement in Aryan Khan's case. The dialogue, which translates to "Talk to the father before touching the son," has led to heated debates on social media, fueling further curiosity about its intended target.

Aryan Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau during a drug raid on a cruise ship. After spending nearly four weeks behind bars, he was eventually granted bail. Eight months later, Aryan was cleared of all charges in the case.

Sameer Wankhede was leading the investigation against Aryan and later faced allegations of demanding a bribe of Rs 25 crore to refrain from implicating Shah Rukh Khan's son in the drug case.

SAMEER WANKHEDE'S CRYPTIC POST

As the 'Jawan' dialogue trended across social media platforms, Sameer Wankhede took to his Twitter account to share a cryptic post, which many believe could be his response to SRK's dialogue. His tweet read, "I have licked the fire and danced in the ashes of every bridge I ever burned. I fear no hell from you. - Nicole Lyons. A quote that always inspires me!"

The tweet garnered a flurry of responses from Shah Rukh Khan's ardent fans. One fan responded, "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel - Samuel Johnson. A quote that quintessentially defines you moron!!" While another commented, "You have licked feet & danced in front of celebrities to extort money from them."
