The bail application hearing Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, who was arrested in connection with the Mumbai drug bust case resumed in the sessions court on Thursday noon. However, as the day drew to an end, the judge reserved orders on the bail of Aryan and other accused in the matter, and said that it will now hear the pleas on October 20 as it is busy with other matters.
Shah Rukh’s manager Pooja Dadlani and bodyguard Ravi Singh were present in the court premises during the hearing. According to reports, the 23-year-old Aryan is currently lodged at Arthur Road Jail, where he is having a tough time adapting to the conditions. With the hearing now deferred to October 20, he will be facing some more jail term.
Aryan was earlier denied bail by a magistrate’s court on October 8. He was among eight persons who were arrested on October 3 during the drug bust at a cruise ship. It is learned that Shah Rukh and his wife Gauri Khan are “devastated” by the news of Aryan’s arrest and have been spending “sleepless nights” worrying about their son. The couple have stayed away from the media glare and avoided stepping out of their Bandra home since the time their son Aryan was apprehended in the drug seizure case by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
Shah Rukh’s fans and colleagues from the film industry have come out in support of the Bollywood superstar and his son. Bollywood personalities like Hrithik Roshan, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Gupta, Ali Fazal, Shekhar Suman, Vishal Dadlani, Pooja Bhatt and Hansal Mehta among others showed solidarity with SRK. Veteran actor-politician Raj Babbar took to Twitter on Sunday to extend his support to Shah Rukh.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan paid another visit to close friend Shah Rukh at Mannat on Wednesday. This was the third time that Salman visited SRK and showed his unwavering support to the family.
