Shah Rukh visits Arthur road jail to meet Aryan after his bail got rejected again:
Shah Rukh Khan visited Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail to meet with his son Aryan Khan, who was denied bail yesterday and has been in jail since October 8 in the drugs-on-cruise case. This was the first time that he met his son, who was arrested after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a rave party on a cruise ship off Mumbai on October 2.
SRK spent around 20 minutes in jail, Aryan Khan has been denied bail twice and has now approached the Bombay High Court. His judicial custody ends today. He had spoken with his parents, SRK and Gauri Khan, on a video call on Friday.

His bail was denied as a special court yesterday said that his WhatsApp chats appeared to reveal his involvement in “illicit drug activities”.People are also unhappy with the way Aryan’s Whatsapp chat is being used.
The court also said that the material placed on record points to a “nexus” between Aryan Khan and suppliers and peddlers.

The court stated that though no drugs were found on Aryan Khan, he was aware of six grams of charas hidden in his friend Arbaaz Merchant’s shoe, and this amounted to “conscious possession”.
Some celebrities have come out in support of SRK and his son, while others from the film industry have been largely muted in their response to the case.
Over the past year, the NCB has arrested and questioned several celebrities on what it calls the “Bollywood-drugs” nexus.
