Mumbai: Actor and former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan claimed in a recent interview that he saved Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan from ‘mafias’ and even sent ‘cigarettes’ for him when he was in jail.
Ajaz, who was lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail, told Hindi Rush, “Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan too was in the jail at that time. I helped him too and sent him water, cigarettes. This is all you can do for someone in jail. And yes, I also saved him from gundas and the mafia. He was in danger; he was put in the common barrack.”
Ajaz also claimed that he had helped Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra when he was in prison, but the latter is ungrateful and doesn’t remember him now.
“He was under strict surveillance. I had been in jail for seven months when Raj Kundra came. He didn’t help me, but I helped him a lot. Be it a biscuit, a Bisleri bottle, or a cigarette, it’s a big deal to provide these things in jail. He would ask me for water, bread, and biscuits. Normal water was allowed, not Bisleri, but he wouldn’t drink it as he would fall sick.”
Ajaz went on, “His movie (UT69) flopped because he showed lies. He told his story, but he didn’t show the things that he went through and what humanity is going through. Neither did he show the hero who helped him in jail. I gave him water, bread, and butter despite strict orders from the superintendent of the jail. He never repaid my favours. He cut my role in his film. He never showed what all I did for him.”
“The two months he (Kundra) spent with me is something he must have not even shared with his wife, Shilpa Shetty. It was Corona time, there was a lot of sadness. He used to cry the whole time. I went against people to save him in jail. Yet, he never remembers me or invites me to his huge parties. He has forgotten his jail time,” he said, while expressing his disappointment over Raj’s behaviour.
Ajaz, who contested in Maharashtra Assembly elections last November but got just 155 votes from Versova constituency, was arrested by Mumbai Police’s Narcotics cell in a drugs case and spent over two years in Arthur Jail before being granted bail by Supreme Court.
