Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's son Aryan was arrested by Narcotics Bureau Control (NCB) on October 3 in a Mumbai cruise drug bust case. The arrest came after the department conducted a raid following a tip-off about drug use in a Goa-bound Cordelia cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. Following that many of Shah Rukh Khan's friends and fans came out in support of the actor and his wife Gauri Khan as well.
Yesterday, the bail plea of Aryan Khan was being heard by Mumbai special court under the NDPS act. The hearing will continue today. SRK’s son along with Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha are in judicial custody. He was earlier denied bail plea on Friday, calling it 'not maintainable'.
Now, Tanishaa Mukerji has come out and spoken in support of SRK and Gauri Khan’s son. In a chat with Bombay Times, Tanishaa said, “I definitely think that in Aryan’s case, this is harassment. More so by putting the child on a media trial! This is not real journalism, just sensationalism or Bollywood bashing as you would say. Unfortunately, people have become callous towards our stars saying things like, that these are the pros and cons to being a star kid! Really? Obviously, they don’t have any compassion."
Tanishaa further went on to say, "This country is for all of us and people should be more discerning when looking at the evidence and think what if this was happening to my child? What would I do? Is this justice?”
Before Tanishaa, celebrities like Pooja Bhatt, Zoya Akhtar, Suniel Shetty, Sussanne Khan and Hrithik Roshan extended their support to the star couple. Hrithik penned an open letter to Aryan Khan where he urged him to remain calm amid the chaos.
