Sussanne Khan, an interior designer, stated today that star kid Aryan Khan was “in the wrong place at the wrong time” in response to social media users vilifying actor Shah Rukh Khan’s 23-year-old son after his arrest in the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case.
Sussanne Khan, who is said to be a close family friend of the Khans, commented on a journalist’s Instagram post. She wrote, “I think this is not about Aryan Khan, as he was unfortunately at the wrong place at the wrong time. This situation is being made an example to drive home the excitement that some people get as they have a witch hunt on people from Bollywood (sic).” The journalist in the post had claimed that the arrest of Aryan Khan should be taken as “a wakeup call for parents.” Adding that Aryan is a “good kid” Sussanne wrote, “It’s sad and unfair as he is a good kid. I stand by Gauri and Shah Rukh.”
Meanwhile, Bollywood playback singer Mika Singh on Tuesday seemingly took a dig at the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) over Aryan Khan’s arrest. Taking to his Twitter handle, Mika shared the picture of the cruise and wrote, “Wow what a beautiful @CordeliaCruises I wish I could have visited. I heard that a lot of people were there but I couldn’t see anyone else except #AryanKhan… Itne bade cruise mein sirf Aryan hi ghoom raha tha kya (Was Aryan the only one roaming around on that big cruise)… hadd hai (too much)… good morning have a wonderful day..”
Several film personalities including Salman Khan, Suniel Shetty, Hansal Mehta, Pooja Bhatt and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi have rallied in support of Shah Rukh Khan over the drugs case. Salman paid a visit to Shah Rukh at Mannat on Sunday. Actress Pooja Bhatt tweeted, “I stand in solidarity with you @iamsrk. Not that you need it. But I do. This too shall pass.”
