Bajpayee filed the criminal complaint in the court of judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) against KRK (46) under Indian Penal Code section 500 (punishment for defamation).

His lawyer Paresh S Joshi said KRK tarnished that actor’s image in a tweet posted on July 26 in connection with his new web series ‘The Family Man Season 2’. In the provocative tweet, KRK accused Bajpayee of being addled with substances and claimed that he doesn’t review web shows featuring alleged drug addicts.

It’s not the first time that KRK has rubbed the actors the wrong way with his abrasive remarks.
