Mumbai: Soon after the arrest of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan in the drugs-on-cruise case, Salman Khan was spotted arriving at the former’s bungalow Mannat at Bandstand here on Sunday.
Aryan has been booked for consumption of drugs under Section 27 of the NDPS Act and sent to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) custody for a day.
Reacting to his detention following a raid on a rave party on a Goa-bound cruise ship, actor Suniel Shetty on Sunday asked fans, media to ‘let the boy breathe’.
“Whenever something like this from our industry happens, the media cracks down on it and we make assumptions, give the child an opportunity, let the real reports come out, till then, he’s a child, taking care of him is our responsibility,” he was quoted saying at an event by ANI.

She also took a swipe at the media for targeting Bollywood.
For all those targetting #Bollywood remember all the #NCB raids on filmstars? Yes nothing was found and nothing was proved. #Bollywood gawking is a tamasha. Its the price of fame

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta had also spoken up on the arrest.
It is painful for a parent having to deal with a child getting into trouble. It gets compounded when people begin to arrive at judgements before the law takes its course. It is disrespectful and unfair to the parent and to the parent-child relationship. With you @iamsrk.

Several of SRK’s fans also took to Twitter and trended a hashtag ‘#WeStandWithSRK’.
