    Aryan Khan gets clean chit: What SRK and his Family went through in the past eight months?

    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.
