Aryan Khan Case Shah Rukh Khan at Arthur road jail. Actor Shah Rukh Khan visited son Aryan Khan at Mumbai's Arthur Road jail on Thursday. This is his first visit since Aryan was taken into custody by the NCB. Superstar Khan had stayed away from cameras since the arrest of his son earlier this month.
Superstar SRK and Gauri Khan’s son Aryan was arrested on October 3 after the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) raided a cruise. Aryan was speculated to walk free today, however, the sessions court has rejected his bail. The NDPS court ruled that Aryan's custody should be extended and therefore the star son will continue to stay at the Arthur Road jail.
