Bollywood is one of the biggest film industries in the world and hence it doesn’t come as a surprise to see the kind of influence it has on non-Indians and even NRIs. Over the years we have seen several foreign shows and films using references of Bollywood but a few of them have done blunders as well and one shining example is The Big Bang Theory.
The famous American sitcom which ran on CBC from 2007 to 2019 did a huge blunder in its second season when it comes to Bollywood references. It’s the first episode of the season 2 titled The Bad Fish Paradigm and Jim Parsons (Sheldon) & Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh) are seen arguing over Aishwarya Rai & Madhuri Dixit.
The discussion starts when Raj is seen listening to Kaho Na Pyaar Hai Title Song featuring Hrithik Roshan & Ameesha Patel. It starts with a big blunder when Raj & Sheldon refer to Ameesha as Aishwarya. After this factual mistake, their discussion reaches an ugly point.
Sheldon refers to Aishwarya Rai as a poor man’s Madhuri Dixit. In defence, Raj who is an ardent fan of the beauty queen calls her the Goddess. Additionally, he calls her a ‘leprous pr**titute’ in comparison to Aishwarya. Now that’s in a very bad taste and uncalled for, Isn’t it? Take a look at the scene below:

Even after the show has ended, it continues to rule the hearts of people on Netflix. A spin-off titled Young Sheldon is also doing immensely well.
