HRITHIK KE DIL SE ARYAN KE DIL TAK .... JAB KOI AWAAZ ARYAN KE LIYE NAHI UTT RAHI HAI INDUSTRY MEIN, HRITHIK ROSHAN DIL KHOLKAR BOLE ARYAN KE LIYE ..... By Ali Peter John

It is almost a month since the Aryan Khan story has gripped the hearts and minds of millions of people, but shockingly and very strangely not even a handful of men and women from the industry have come out in support of Aryan or his famous father who they call the Badshah or the Emperor and the Khan family is fighting its most painful and crucial battle all by itself - Ali Peter John

There are bold exceptions like Salman Khan, Swara Bhaskar, Tapsee Pannu and other like - minded people who have stood by Shah Rukh Khan in his moment of crisis, but on the whole, there is all the proof to say that the industry has not been brave enough to come out in the open and tell the world that injustice is being done and that nothing is being done about it.

Compare this helpless and fearful situation to the time when Sanjay Dutt was going through hell in the 90s and how all the big stars and new stars, including the new Shah Rukh Khan stood up for Sanjay and stood outside the Thane jail and other places to raise their voices of protest.

It is a shame to listen to people from other industries talking about how the film industry is scared and divided when there is a need for it to stand united and fight for its very survival.

It is a shame to see men and women from other professions and celebrities poking fun at the mightiest of stars and makers for not having spines when the industry is cracking and reeling under pressure.

When will the men and women of this industry find their self respect and learn to fight for the place they rightly deserve ?

It is against this bleak backdrop that it is a pleasant surprise to see Hrithik Roshan, one of the leading stars of today come out openly in support of Aryan Khan and express his support to Aryan in an open letter which is not only heart - warming but also a heart - booster, not only for Aryan ,, but for all those unfortunate men and women who seem to have lost their courage, their confidence and even their conscience....

This is how Hrithik addresses Aryan and what he writes could be what he would have written to his sons Hridhaan and Hrehaan and all other sons and daughters who would need support at difficult times in their lives ....

'I know you must feel anger, confusion, helplessness'

In his letter, posted on Instagram along with a photo of Aryan, Hrithik Roshan wrote that he can sympathise with him and said that he must experience the darkness to appreciate the light.

Hrithik wrote, “My dear Aryan. Life is a strange ride. It’s great because it’s uncertain. It’s great cause it throws you curve balls, but god is kind.

He gives only the toughest ones the toughest balls to play. You know you are chosen when amidst the chaos you can feel the pressure to hold your own.

And I know you must feel it now. The anger, the confusion, the helplessness. Aaah , the very ingredients that are needed to burn the hero out from inside you.

But be wary , those same ingredients could burn away the good stuff... the kindness, the compassion, the love. Allow yourself to burn, but just enough.. ”

Hrithik continued, “Mistakes , failings , victories , success... they’r all the same if you know which parts to keep with you and which parts to throw away from the experience. But know that you can grow better with them all. I’v known you as a kid and i’v known you as a man. Own it. Own everything you experience. They’r your gifts. Trust me. In time when you connect the dots... I promise you , It’s gonna make sense. Only if you have stared the devil in his eyes and kept your calm. Keep calm . Observe.These moments are the makers of your tomorrow. And tomorrow is going to have a brilliant sun shining. But for it , you must go thru the dark. Calm, still, owning your own. And trusting the light. Within. It’s always there.”

He signed off with, “Love you man." Hrithik has two sons– Hridhaan and Hrehaan– with ex-wife Sussanne Khan.

He isn't the only one who has stood in solidarity with Shah Rukh and his family. Salman Khan and his sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri were among the first to pay Shah Rukh and his wife, Gauri Khan, a visit in the aftermath of Aryan's arrest.

This story about Shah Rukh's son is certainly taking all kinds of twists and turns and at this stage of the story, no judge, no lawyer, no defective , no investigation officer and not even the most clever, cunning and wicked politician knows what direction this story of all stories will take. Keep your fingers crossed, all you good and bad Indians
