(Photo: Aryan Khan/Instagram)With prominent celebrities commenting on superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s arrest ahead of the orders on his bail plea today to Shilpa Shetty and husband Raj Kundra filing a defamation suit against Sherlyn Chopra, a lot is going on in the world of entertainment today. For starters, Akshay Kumar’s wife and author Twinkle Khanna recently took to social media to share her opinion on the ongoing Aryan Khan case.
Saying she ‘lost her marbles’ upon reading the development in the case, Khanna compared the entire episode to the wildly popular Netflix series Squid Game. “Each player is given ten marbles and must get their opponent’s marbles by competing in any game of their choosing. In this episode, one of the strongest candidates is badgered and ultimately bamboozled into losing his marbles. I seem to have misplaced mine as well when I read the news about Shah Rukh Khan’s son’s arrest.”
Khanna stated that it was unfair what was happening to Aryan as no evidence has been found against him yet. “While his friend was apparently carrying 6 gm of charas, there is reportedly no evidence of possession by Aryan Khan. Yet, the young boy has been languishing in Arthur Road jail for almost two weeks now.”
A special court will be passing orders on the bail applications of Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha at 2.45pm on Wednesday.
Tehseen Poonawalla shared via Twitter, "Bail rejected for #AryanKhan. This is gross injustice and absolute harassment. #AryanKhan must immediately move the Hon'ble Bombay HC against this travesty of Justice. Remember Bail not Jail & Innocent until proven Guilty is the legal jurisprudence #AryanKhanBail."
Aryan Khan's bail application rejected by special court. Bail application of two others Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha also rejected.
Ahead of Aryan Khan's bail verdict, Shah Rukh Khan's fans were seen gathering outside the actor's house Mannat.
Sanjay Gupta shared via Twitter, "Suspicious arrest, no drugs found on him, no traces in his blood and yet he spends 18 days in jail. Don’t people responsible for this have kids of their own? How do you do this to someone else’s child?"
Filmmaker Reema Kagti tweeted, "I hope Aryan gets bail today. He shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place; no possession, no consumption and the NCB’s argument that he is part of some international drug peddling ring is just a ridiculous lie to harass him and his family." When a user posted, "With all due respect, we should not comment on the subject since we have not seen the evidence," she replied, "The NCB themselves have declared this in court. So with due respect you can stand by and say nothing while a 23 year old is harassed for being a famous Muslim man’s son but I choose not to, thank you very much."
Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani was seen arriving at the court for Aryan's bail hearing.
Kanika Dhillon tweeted earlier, "if Nothing found on #aryankhan-n he still in jail,longer he denied bail;wont he b an example?poster boy 4injustice n travesty!a star behind bars-4 there’s no greater tyranny than perpetrated under d shield o law!Bt I blieve OUR courts will give him his basic right!prayers @iamsrk."
Aryan Khan’s arrest was a shocking and dramatic event that had all of us sit up and take notice. Aryan is the son of a multi-millionaire father who also happens to be one of Bollywood’s longest surviving superstars. Before the NCB could even officially confirm the arrest or state the charges against Aryan, a flood of memes appeared on social media mocking his arrest, which shows our complicated relationship with stars and their stardom.

Filmmaker Prakash Jha has shown concern over Aryan Khan’s arrest and feels that the star kid ‘has got in a mess’. In an interview with India Today, Prakash Jha shared, "I don’t know how I could comment on it. I don’t know who is commenting on it. I haven’t read about it. I only know that the poor kid, who is Shah Rukh Khan’s son, has got into a mess."
Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's bail plea hearing to take place today at 2:45 pm.
When asked if she thinks Aryan's trial is because he is a superstar's son, Kubbra Sait said in her recent interview, "This is not because he is a superstar’s son, or somebody's relative, girlfriend or wife or whatever. Divorces are speculated, marriages are speculated, the consumption of prohibited substances are speculated. Where is the news? This all seems to be speculation to me. I think I love the good old times when we switched on the TV at 9 pm and listened to the news and not your god-damn judgment. I am not interested in your judgment."
Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra have filed a Rs 50 crore defamation suit against Sherlyn Chopra for ‘false and baseless allegations’ against them. The legal notice also demands a public apology from Chopra on various media outlets for spreading misinformation about them in an attempt to harm their reputation. This comes after Chopra’s complaint against the couple last week, which she had registered at a Juhu police station on allegations of fraud. Both Sherlyn Chopra and Raj Kundra are presently embroiled in a porn apps case. READ MORE.
Javed Akhtar on Tuesday said the Hindi film industry is under the scanner because of its “high profile” nature and it is the “price” it has to pay. When asked if he feels that Bollywood is being routinely targeted with raids, Akhtar told reporters, "This is the price the film industry has to pay for being high profile. When you are high profile, people have fun pulling you down, throwing muck at you. If you are a nobody, then who has the time to throw stones at you?"
Twinkle Khanna, author and wife of actor Akshay Kumar, recently compared Aryan’s arrest to one of the episodes of Netflix’s popular show Squid Games. In an Instagram post, Khanna shared a portion of her blog post titled, ‘Let the desi Squid Games begin’. READ what Twinkle wrote, citing the example from one of the episodes of the popular South Korean drama.
