Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan
The month of October 2021 was unarguably the darkest chapter of Shah Rukh Khan’s life, a chapter that nearly ripped him and his family, and exposed the hideousness of unfair treatment and trials. A Mumbai cruise was busted and Aryan Khan, SRK’s son, was taken into custody by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) over a tip of a drug party. The entire month saw extensive coverage (and claims) on the star son.
Social media and the media were quick to paste labels even before the judgment was out. The law did take its own course and Khan was granted bail almost after a month. But this mishap rendered Khan and his family vulnerable for months. Shah Rukh, an otherwise omnipresent star who was always there for the media and with the media, going all out to have interviews and interactions, has now restricted his public appearances. A report recently stated he won’t be giving press interviews anymore since he doesn’t want to revisit that traumatic experience.
It’s unfair how the media and social media treated the case and blew it completely out of proportion, cannibalizing a 24-year old’s horror to meet their own ends. Had it been an unknown victim, it would have disappeared in thin air. Because it was the son of one of the most influential personalities in the world, they polluted that very air with their venomous reporting.
