Netflix received a legal notice for an offensive joke on The Big Bang Theory.

As detailed by ScreenRant, the joke occurs in Season 2, Episode 1, "The Bad Fish Paradigm," in which Raj (Kunal Nayyar) references two popular Bollywood actors, referring to Aishwarya Rai as a "goddess" and Madhuri Dixit as a "leprous prostitute" by comparison.

This derogatory comment provoked outrage from social activist and author Mithun Vijay Kumar, who had his legal representative send Netflix a notice demanding it immediately remove the episode from the platform.
