(Photo: Varinder Chawla)As Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s bail plea was rejected by a special NDPS court, many celebrities shared their reaction and termed it ‘heartbreaking.’ Rahul Dholakia, Hansal Mehta, Swara Bhasker and Kamya Punjabi were among those who commented.
Aryan has now moved the Bombay High Court to apply for bail in the cruise ship drug case. His bail plea is likely to be heard on Thursday. Besides Aryan, bail applications of two others, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha, were also rejected by the special court. Earlier, Akshay Kumar’s wife and author Twinkle Khanna recently took to social media to share her opinion on the ongoing Aryan Khan case.
Saying she ‘lost her marbles’ upon reading the development in the case, Khanna compared the entire episode to the wildly popular Netflix series Squid Game. “Each player is given ten marbles and must get their opponent’s marbles by competing in any game of their choosing. In this episode, one of the strongest candidates is badgered and ultimately bamboozled into losing his marbles. I seem to have misplaced mine as well when I read the news about Shah Rukh Khan’s son’s arrest.”
Thursday will also see the launch of Meenakshi Sundareshwar trailer. The Sanya Malhotra and Abhimanyu Dassani-starrer Netflix film launched its teaser a few days ago. However, a few on the social media criticised the teaser for sticking with stereotypes.
