Hansal Mehta supports Shah Rukh Khan; tweets ‘It is painful for a parent’

On Saturday (02) evening, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) of India busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea. Eight people were detained for questioning by the NCB and one of them was Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan.

Aryan is currently in the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau, and many Bollywood celebs have supported the Khan. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to Twitter to extend his support to the superstar.


Mehta tweeted, “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.”

Pooja Bhatt had tweeted on Sunday (03), “I stand in solidarity with you @iamsrk Not that you need it. But I do. This too, shall pass.”

According to ANI, while talking about the raid, Suniel Shetty recently at an event stated, "When a raid is conducted at a place, many people are taken into custody. We assume that a particular boy must have consumed it (drugs). The process is on. Let's give that child a breather. Let real reports come out.”

Well, to extend his support even Salman Khan had visited the Pathan actor’s residence on Sunday (03) night.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
