Actor Hrithik Roshan has come out in support of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, after the latter was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) following a raid on a cruise ship.

The Koi Mil Gaya actor has shared an open letter in favour of the actor’s son, telling the 23-year-old that god “gives only the toughest ones the toughest balls to play”. The actor advised the young man to stay calm “amidst the chaos” adding that he knows the anger and helplessness that Khan must be feeling. He cautioned the young man against the same, saying that “ those same ingredients could burn away the good stuff … the kindness , the compassion , the love”.

Offering support to Khan, Roshan advised the young man to “own” what he experiences, saying that these would be “gifts” would make sense only later. Roshan closed his letter saying that Khan’s future will “have a brilliant sun shining” but the young man must go through the dark for the future to arrive.
