Now, a while back, Shah Rukh Khan was spotted visiting his son, Aryan in the jail for the first time. There were reports that Shah Rukh was connecting with his son through video calls for the longest time. However, now the actor stepped out to visit his son at the Arthur road jail during these testing times. Later, he was spotted leaving the jail. 

According to a journalist, Faye D’souza, the reason for the delay in Aryan Khan’s bail is because of his WhatsApp chats. The journalist had quoted its source as “Khan was not found with any drugs in his possession but the NCB argued that they have access to WhatsApp chats that suggest he was regular user, overseas. Including a chat that said “Let’s have a blast” which the NCB interprets as intention to consume drugs.”

According to the reports by ANI, on October 15, 2021, Aryan got a chance to talk to his parents, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, on a video call. They had an elaborated chat about the condition of the prison where he was taken. Aryan had spoken to them for almost ten minutes and broke down amid the conversation while Shah Rukh and Gauri had tried to console him on the video call. 

He was provided with a mobile phone by the jail authorities from which he had dialled his mother’s number. This supervised call was in line with a High Court order which states that the prisoners are allowed a video call with their families twice a week, as physical meetings are restricted due to the ongoing pandemic.

Earlier, on October 11, 2021, Aryan Khan had received a money order worth Rs. 4,500 from his home, which the star kid can use to order food and other items while he stay at the jail. Moreover, the Superintendent of the Arthur Road jail, Nitin Waychal, had remarked that Aryan is being given jail food; no home or outside food will be served to him until a court order is passed.

As Aryan Khan is in Arthur jail, the condition of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan is heartbreaking as they are devastated and shaken. According to India Today, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are spending sleepless nights and have constantly been keeping a tab on the case and Aryan’s health. According to the portal, they make multiple calls throughout the day to check Aryan’s health and send home-cooked meals and personal things to Aryan.

Apart from Aryan Khan, five others, who were arrested, are Munmum Dhamecha, Arbaaz Merchant, Ismeet Singh, Nupur Sarika, Mohak Jaswal, Gomit Chopra and Vikrant Chhoker.
