ARYAN KI AJEEB KAHANI NE SRK MEIN KAISI HULCHUL MACHAAYI by Ali Peter John

SRK KE VAKIL NE AISE KI SRK KI TAAREEF ...

Superlatives and adjectives are nothing new for a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan. But to earn the praise of a seasoned and hardened lawyer is something that one hears very rarely -Ali Peter John

Mr Satish Maneshinde was one of the lawyers pleading for bail for Aryan Khan and so had to deal with Shah Rukh Khan during the most crucial phases of the hearings .

After bail was granted to Aryan , the lawyer who has fought and won some of the most important cases during the last thirty years was asked about what he felt about dealing with a client like Shah Rukh Khan and he was all effusive when he called Shah Rukh " a very humble man who maintained a dignified silence all through the hearings , very respectful man who never showed his importance to any one around , a super , duper super star who always behaved like any other ordinary human being and above all a very strong man who could fight any odds and any kinds of difficult circumstances to get his son out . Shah Rukh Khan is the perfect example for all parents who have the responsibility of bringing up children who are at a vulnerable and innocent stage".

Take a bow , Badshah Khan , you deserve it , you have earned every thing you have and everything you do by your own will , perseverance and passion to make your life and the lives of others better .

ARYAN KI AJEEB KAHANI NE SRK MEIN KAISI HULCHUL MACHAAYI

Life was slowly but surely coming back to normal for Badshah Khan. It seemed like the bad times were passing by like a passing dark cloud .

The scars of the flopping of films like Zero and Fan were becoming a part of the past and he was finally signing films.

The first big film he signed was " Pathan" which was being made by YRF on a very ambitious and expensive scale with Deepika Padukone as his leading lady, John Abraham as a villain in a class of his own and Salman Khan in a very special appearance.

The unit had already started shooting during the lockdown and the film was making rapid progress.

There were murmurs about the film title not going well with a certain section of people, but the makers kept shooting .

SRK was eager to make Pathan his first release after his "break" and so had given bulk dates to shoot two songs for the film on exotic locations in Spain.

But now with this unfortunate happening in the life of SRK , all work on Pathan has come to a halt and any progress can be made only when SRK comes back to his normal self and gives YRF new dates. It means that Pathan will not be completed at least till the end of 2022.

SRK. had also began shooting for the noted director from the South Attlee's first Hindi film , with Nayantara as his leading lady , but now this film too will be held up and SRK cannot be blamed because it is circumstances that are playing the villain.

At least ninety different countries of the world were busy planning ways of celebrating the birthday of SRK on November 2 and even SRK had given his permission to plan celebrations , but around a week ago , he called all his fans to have low key or no celebrations for his birthday.

But that was before Aryan could get bail. Will SRK. change his mind and let his fans celebrate his birthday ?

In a way , they have already begun celebrating his birthday since the evening of October 28 when Aryan was granted bail.

And I don't think SRK is the kind of man who would like to stop his admirers from celebrating any event or function associated with his life which he has always believed is all because of what his admirers and fans have made him.

And look at the strange coincidence . On November 13 is the 24th birthday of Aryan Khan.

His birthday was normally a private or a family affair , but the invisible drug case has already made him a star and I am sure thousands of people would land outside Mannat to wish him on his birthday. And what a scene it would be to see SRK waving out to people with Aryan by his side !

MANNAT KE BAHAAR DIWALI SE PEHELE DIWALI

For twenty two days Aryan Khan was in custody and for twenty two days hundreds of men , women and children from all over India and other places gathered outside Mannat , like they normally gather , but this time the mood among the people for the first few days was very serious , sad and sombre.

They had only one objective , they had only one prayer , they wanted to see Aryan Khan , the son of their Badshah out on bail as soon as possible.

They were not shouting slogans , nor were they singing songs in praise of their Badshah and nor were they carrying baskets of flowers or sweets for their king .

They only had slogans like " we are with you king " , we shall overcome , " jeet hamaari hogi , jeet sachai ki hogi and " "welcome home prince Aryan Khan".

They had no hope of having a glimpse of their king , but they kept staying and even sleeping on the rocks outside Mannat for days and nights and some of them even for weeks .

They just kept waiting for news about Aryan and the latest developments of his case .

They were all sure that the Badshah's son couldn't be a "bad boy" and would come back with his reputation untouched "because after all he was the beta of the Badshah "

But the scene outside Mannat changed completely when news came about Aryan being granted bail . The crowd started screaming with joy.

It broke into all kinds of dancing and what was most interesting was how they brought out crackers and other kinds of fireworks and lit up the entire atmosphere and it looked as if it was Diwali before it was actually Diwali .

The police had actually passed orders about not bursting or playing with certain kinds of fireworks like sutli bombs, but on that night of celebration outside Mannat , even the police looked away as the admirers of Badshah Khan gave expression to their joy in as many ways as they could.

One fifty year old woman from Lucknow said it all when she said , " aise toh Diwali har saal aati hai , lekin Badshah waali Diwali kahan har baar aati hai . Hum toh Badshah ki Diwali manaane aaye hai" and she began dancing with two phooljhadi in her hands.
