For millions of people in the UK, especially within the British-Asian community, Bollywood movies are not merely forms of entertainment. They are treasured cultural artifacts that unite families and generations, providing a shared experience that transcends time and space. However, the cultural connection and joy these films bring to our communities are under threat. Netflix UK has announced the removal of three iconic Bollywood films from its platform on February 28th, 2026:

- Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G)
- Kal Ho Naa Ho
- Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK)

These films are not just popular for their compelling stories; they are symbolic of cultural identity, history, and heritage.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G) showcases the importance of family values, love, and unity, reflecting universal themes that resonate deeply across cultural lines.

Kal Ho Naa Ho brings to light the themes of love and friendship while dealing sensitively with issues of illness and mortality, offering profound lessons on living life to the fullest.

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK) challenges traditional norms and presents complex relationship dynamics, prompting important discussions among viewers of all backgrounds.

The removal of these films would not only mean a loss of accessible cultural media but also a blow to cultural diversity representation on global streaming platforms like Netflix. In an increasingly digital world, streaming platforms are one of the few places where cultural heritage can be shared widely and preserved for younger generations. This decision would disproportionately affect those who use these films to stay connected to their roots and share a part of their identity with others.

We urge Netflix UK to reconsider their decision, taking into account the significant cultural impact these films have in the UK. Retaining these films would be a crucial step in upholding the platform's commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Please join us in asking Netflix UK to keep these beloved Bollywood classics available for future generations. Sign this petition to preserve the cultural bridge that these films represent for millions of individuals and families.
