The Aryan Khan drugs-on-cruise actually shows how people can be so heartless and how one's positive contribution for the society can be neglected.
Digital Desk: “I am very
relieved and so must be my clients, including Shah Rukh Khan. Ultimately truth
has prevailed” : Lawyer Mukul Rohatgi.
There
was no material to charge this young man or arrest him. No drugs were found on
him. I am happy that the NCB acted professionally in admitting their mistake,”
added the lawyer.
Narcotics
Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday gave a clean chit to actor Shah Rukh
Khan's son, Aryan, and five others, in the drugs-on-cruise case. But what
important here is to reflect on what the Bollywood Superstar and his family
went through during this phase when Aryan was in Jail for the Drug case.
While
a humongous Celebrity figure like Shah Rukh Khan who has contributed immensely
to Bollywood and led Bollywood cinemas to the global front, it only took a few
moments to taint his image.
The
Aryan Khan drugs-on-cruise actually shows how people can be so heartless and
how one's positive contribution for the society can be neglected.
His
contribution for the Hindi film industry is noteworthy and inspirational but at
the time when he needed mental support the most, people from all the directions
started spitting hate comments and began blaming his upbringing and backlashed
his wife Gauri Khan labeling her “Drug Addict”.
The
media comfortably ignored more important issues which needed attention and
focused all the cameras on Aryan Khan and SRK. Media being the fourth pillar of
democracy, every time, fails to play a neutral role and take sides to get more
views. They used the stardom of the star as a weapon to gain TRP.
The
political parties also kept no stone unturned in blaming the Badshaah and his
family in the Aryan Khan case and polarized the matter in a wrong way. Many
leaders misguided the mass and gave a political perspective which
imprinted a negative impression of the whole Khan familya amongst the people.
However
some leaders put forth pertinent questions.
RJD
leader Manoj Jha said Aryan Khan's arrest is getting exaggerated media coverage
in comparison to the seizure of around 3,000 kg of drugs from Mundra port in
Gujarat.
In
light of the attention surrounding the arrest of Aryan Khan, senior Congress
leader Shashi Tharoor on Monday said he is "repelled by the ghoulish
epicaricacy" of those who are "witch-hunting" Shah Rukh Khan,
and called for empathy towards the star's family's situation.
Shaaminder
Malik, an expert on trade and entertainment matters, said that some brands and upcoming
films of Khan will definitely bear the brunt of this incident. "Brands
like Byju's, which is about education, will get trolled heavily. "His
son's arrest has definitely created negative publicity for Shahrukh and might
impact future films of the star, he added.
People
across the social media platforms had different opinions. Though some supported
Shahrukh Khan and Aryan Khan, majority expressed discontent on Aryan Khan's
deed and blamed both Shahrukh and Gauri for not giving an eye on their son and
‘giving him too much freedom’. People taunt SRK and numerous hate comments were
shared. Uncountable memes also poured in, regarding the matter and people kept
on ‘putting salt on the wound’.
Many
tweeted that Byju's "must immediately" drop him as brand ambassador.
SRK
is too immersed in wealth accumulation and failed to bring up his boy well, one
commented.
Another
said,” Uska naam nahin ho raha hai, vah badnaam ho raha hai. Bap ka paisa uda
raha hai”.
In
a situation like this, where people take extreme steps, Shah Rukh Khan's
decision to keep balance demeanor is laudable.
Though this judgement brings relief to the family but the damage to the mental well-being has already been done.
