It was the happiest day for the millions of fans when Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan got a clean chit after being accused in last year's drugs-on-cruise case. The Khan family had gone through much humiliation, and after a long battle of a couple of months, Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan's elder son, Aryan Khan got out of the clasp.
For those who don't know, the controversial drugs-on-cruise case had started when Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had raided a cruise in Mumbai-Goa on October 2, 2021. And during the investigation, they had found Aryan Khan was on the cruise, and his WhatsApp chats had confirmed his contribution to the drug racket. However, Aryan's doting daddy, Shah Rukh Khan had left no stone unturned to prove every allegation wrong against his son and had finally brought his son back home.
