The Archies Should Be Renamed As ‘The Richies’, Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor & Team Trolled As Teaser Sparks Off Nepotism Debate Yet Again

Over the weekend, Hindi filmmaker Zoya Akhtar unveiled the first official poster and teaser of The Archies while launching a couple of known and unknown faces in Bollywood. The first look gave us an insight into Shah Rukh Khan-Gauri Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda, Boney Kapoor’s daughter and Janhvi Kapoor’s sister Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Dot, Yuvraj Menda and Vedang Raina’s world.

Soon after the teaser and posters were dropped proud parents couldn’t help but write heartfelt notes for their kids. Right from SRK’s Insta post, to Big B’s message, they took to social media to express their emotions.

However, The Archies’ first look has left the internet divided. While a section of social media couldn’t relate to the Netflix show, others sparked the nepotism debate. Commenting on the video a user wrote, “My only problm with this would be..if it tries to cater to the western audiences with very strong influence of western culture..where almost evry character is speaking in English most of the time..but if ur making an indian show..keep india in mind..i hope am wrong..” while another said, “Bc even angrez did not live this way in India. here is the plot as always Teen best friends. A few of them are couples, 1 of them forced, 1 same sex couple. 1 got bad parents. One has to become singer/dancer which happens in the end. 2 jasleen royal/prateek kuhad songs.”
