Shah Rukh Khan's Friend Viveck Vaswani Addresses Actor's Silence On Aryan Khan’s Arrest

Shah Rukh had only once touched upon Aryan's alleged involvement in a drug case during an ‘Ask SRK’ session on Twitter

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan stayed silent throughout the process of his son Aryan Khan's arrest in drugs related case. Now the actor's 's friend revealed the reason behind that. 

Aryan Khan was arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with an alleged drug bust onboard a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast in October 2021. He was in jail for 25 days before being granted bail by the Bombay High Court. He was on October 30, 2021, and later in 2022, Aryan was given a clean chit by the NCB.

All this while, Shah Rukh and his family maintained silence amid the media trial. Talking about it, the Pathaan actor's oldest friend from the industry, actor and producer Viveck Vaswani, told Connect FM Canada, "I think he did not want to escalate it (the issue), he didn’t open his mouth, neither did Aryan, Gauri or Suhana, it is called grace and dignity.”

Shah Rukh had only once touched upon Aryan's alleged involvement in a drug case. During an ‘Ask SRK’ session on Twitter, a fan asked him what motivates him to overcome the problems he has 'faced so far'. In reply, Shah Rukh said, "One has to believe that good will always outweigh the bad…"

After Aryan's release from jail, Shah Rukh took several measures to avoid the media and paparazzi every time he was out and about. Even during the Pathaan release, he ditched film promotion through media and opted for fan interactions on Twitter. Later during a press meet following the success of Pathaan, he said, "This is an experience that’s yet to sink in. Maybe we will be more grateful to God. There were times when we had to make calls to people to make them release the film with ease and they did that. I want my films to release with love.”

Meanwhile, Aryan is working on his first film script which will mark his debut. His sister Suhana Khan will also be joining Bollywood with the release of The Archies this year.
