The Mumbai drugs bust, involving superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan as a top name, was led by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) earlier this month. Aryan has been in detention since October 3, along with others including models Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha. Follow the case here.
On October 21, actor Ananya Panday was summoned by the NCB after WhatsApp chats allegedly found on Aryan's phone linked her to the case. Reports quoting officials of the anti-drug agency suggest that other star names connected to the case will soon emerge.
The state of affairs, with the birthday tweet to Shah in view, has sparked a memefest on Twitter with netizens indicating that Khan is attempting to "save" her name from coming up in the drugs case. While many are trolling the Kedarnath actor, several have questioned the authenticity of the verified account.
Let it be known that when a superstar's son was being hounded by the Indian state, Bollywood was doing everything it can to show just how craven and spineless it is. https://t.co/dPMicH65R5
