Salman Khan visits Shah Rukh; Pooja Bhatt, Suniel Shetty react to Aryan's detention by NCB

Salman Khan visited his close friend Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat late Sunday night hours after Shah Rukh’s son, Aryan, was arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau.

Aryan, 23, has been sent to custody till 4 October (Monday) following a raid at a party on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai by the NCB.

Earlier in the day, other celebrities like Hansal Mehta, Pooja Bhatt, Suniel Shetty and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi had also spoken up on the arrest.

Speaking at an event, Suniel asked for a breather for Aryan. “I would like to say that wherever there is a raid, several people are caught. And we assume that this child must have consumed drugs or this child must have done it. But the proceedings are on, let’s give that child a breather,” he said.

The actor added, “Whenever something happens in Bollywood, the media scrutinises everything and jumps to conclusions. Give the child an opportunity. Let the real reports come out. Baccha hai (He’s a kid). Taking care of him is our responsibility.”

Pooja tweeted that she stands in solidarity with Shah Rukh and wrote, “Not that you need it. But I do. This too, shall pass.”

It is painful for a parent having to deal with a child getting into trouble. It gets compounded when people begin to arrive at judgements before the law takes its course. It is disrespectful and unfair to the parent and to the parent-child relationship. With you @iamsrk.
