Shah Rukh Khan’s wife Gauri speaks about son Aryan’s arrest for the first time

During her recent appearance on the seventh season of producer Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee with Karan, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s wife Gauri spoke about their son Aryan Khan’s arrest for the first time.

Addressing the issue, Karan Johar asked Gauri how she dealt with it. “It has been such a tough ride for him, and you all have emerged so strongly. I know you as a mother. We are members of the same family and I am a member of the same family. And, it hasn’t been easy, and Gauri, you have emerged stronger than ever,” he said. In response, Gauri mentioned that despite having to deal with the tough situation, she was grateful for everyone’s help and support.

Gauri Khan said, “Nothing can be worse than what we have just been through. But where we all stand as a family, I can say that we are in a great space. We feel loved. All our friends, and so many people whom we didn’t know, so many messages and so much of love. We feel blessed. We are grateful to everyone who helped us.” Aryan Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the use of drugs at a rave party onboard a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai.

Aryan and five others, however, were later exonerated by the NCB in the case. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) of NCB reportedly found no evidence that Aryan Khan was part of a larger drugs conspiracy or an international trafficking syndicate, and that there were several irregularities in the raid during which he was arrested.
