Aryan Khan’s lawyer refused to take his case; Shah Rukh Khan pleaded with his wife, offered a private jet: ‘I am a father’

Mukul said that he got a call from SRK’s close aide and he promptly refused to take the case because he did not want to interrupt his week-long holiday. He then got a call from SRK himself, and Mukul refused him as well. “Mr Khan got my number and he called me. So I told him the same thing that I don’t want to do it. The great actor he is, he said, ‘Can I speak to your wife?’ I said sure,” he recalled and added that SRK pleaded to her. “He gave her the sob story, that ‘don’t take it as a client, I am a father’. You know, things like that. And obviously, he was feeling it. So my wife also said ‘Arre chale jao (Please go)’. So I told her that otherwise you tell me to be careful during Covid, now you are saying that go all the way and finish your case,” he recalled with a smile.

Mukul shared that Shah Rukh offered him a private jet but he didn’t take it. “Mr Khan was gracious enough. He offered me a private jet, which I didn’t take. I am not very fond of small jets. So I flew down to Mumbai and Shah Rukh had himself checked into the same hotel that I usually stay at, Trident, Nariman Point,” he shared.

“I found him to be quite keen and intelligent. He had made a lot of notes and points and stuff like that, apart from the lawyers. And he discussed it with me, and then we argued it . It was argued for two half days or three half days or something like that, and finally, the bail was granted. And I promptly went back to England to spend the rest of my holiday. That’s how this thing happened,” he shared.

Aryan Khan recently made fun of his arrest in his debut show The Ba***ds of Bollywood where he implied that he was arrested for no reason.
