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.
