On the morning of October 2 when the nation was observing the jayantis of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahudar Shastri, a gang of dark clouds were approaching Mannat, the palatial house of Badshah Khan and soon they had surrounded Mannat, a house of love and peace and attacked it and its inmates - Ali Peter John
The eldest son of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, was arrested Aryan Khan by the Narcotics Central Bureau for being in possession of ten grams of a drug, while on the other side of the cruise ship on which he was nabbed, drugs worth nineteen thousand crore rupees were hauled on a port managed by the well-known business magnate Gautam Adani.
Aryan was taken into NBC custody where he was kept for five days and was produced before the Klla Court which sent him to fourteen days judicial custody, the result being a total turmoil emotional and otherwise at Mannat for Shah Rukh, Gauri, Suhana who had to fly down from London to be with the family, Aryan's little brother ABram, Aryan's aunt Shahnaaz and a number of celebrity friends of Shah Rukh and Gauri.
Just before this unexpected and cruel event, there was news about hectic preparations being Made to celebrate the birthday of Shah Rukh in Dubai and different countries of the world and it has now to be seen whether Shah Rukh will be in a mood to celebrate his birthday on November 2 which is normally like an international festival.
It was Gauri Khan's 51st birthday on October 8, but all celebrations and festivities were called off and Gauri spent the day with Shah Rukh to find ways to get their first gone son out of the mess he had or circumstances had got him into.
Has Aryan got into trouble because of what his father Shah Rukh had said about intolerance in the country some months ago or for any other statement he must have made which must have hurt some powerful people in high places?
The answers to these and other questions will take their own time to find, but till then Aryan who till a few days ago loved like a prince now lives in a cell and has the same breakfast, lunch and dinner that other petty criminals in judicial custody have.
Is it a crime to be a celebrity or the son of a celebrity ? This question has to find answers sooner or later .
