    Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan booked for drugs in rave party case

    Shah Rukh Khan’s 23-year-old son Aryan Khan was booked on Saturday in a rave party case.

    As per details, Aryan may be able to avoid any major punishment after being arrested, following a drugs raid.

    According to Indian media outlets, a senior lawyer weighed in on the Bollywood actor’s chances with the law and revealed that since the drugs he had in possession were in small quantity, his offense is predicted to be bailable.

    “The accused is alleged to be a member in the rave party from where some contraband was found in violation to provisions of NDPS Act. It appears that the quantity allegedly attributed to him for personal consumption is small quantity and not commercial quantity and therefore the offense will be bailable,” senior lawyer Maeed Memon said.

    Earlier, Aryan was taken into custody after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) conducted a raid at a party being held on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast on Saturday night.

    According to India Today, the officials of NCB questioned Aryan in the drug bust case.

    “If I’d done the film, it would have been tittered that, ‘Look, Aishwarya Rai is back to doing what she did in her modelling days — leaving her hair straight, wearing minis, and pouting glamorously into the camera.’ Ultimately, the hero goes back to the more real person.”

    “I know if I’d done Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I would have been lynched,” she added.

  • Shah Rukh Khan promises fans a surprise for 2021

    Shah Rukh Khan promises fans a surprise for 2021

    Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and humour, recently released a short video in which he wished his fans a ‘Happy New Year’ and promised that he has a big surprise lined up for them in 2021.

    The hilarious video begins with the King of Bollywood in a night suit fighting mosquitoes. Khan adds that had to record the video all by himself as he had no staff available to record it.

    “Hi everybody,” said the actor as he started his video. “It is that time of the year again where the old year is on its way out and the New Year is waiting at the entrance. Actually, it has entered because I am late in conveying my wishes to all of you.”

    Reflecting on the past year, the actor said: “I am sure 2020 has been the worst of years for everybody. In these awful times, for most it is difficult to find a ray of hope and positivity. But I have a way of looking at bad days, difficult times, and awful years. I believe when one is at the lowest, at the most bottom-est of their life, the good thing is there is only one way to move – upwards, higher to better places. So, 2020 whatever it has been is in the past now. 2021 is going to be bigger, better, brighter and more beautiful.”

    Elaborating on the lessons 2020 taught him, SRK emphasized on how important it is to have your loved ones by your side.

    “Real fun is with real people. Your family, your friends, your loved ones. All the friends and enemies you make virtually, taking sides or fighting against you online, is good fun, time pass, but it’s not for keeps,” said the actor.

    Wishing his fans “happiness, joy and peace”, Shah Rukh joked that he sounded like a “cheap greeting card” while saying this.

    He also requested everyone to be “romantic, emphatic, pragmatic, democratic, fantastic” in 2021 and not be “mathematic as it’s very boring and also very difficult to rhyme with the other words.”

    Khan also gave his fans some advice on partying.

    “Go party hard, but not too hard in moderation. Don’t get too drunk, don’t take off your clothes and run on the street, because chances are you’ll get arrested and even worse you will wake up in the morning and realize you have lost your phone and that really sucks,” said the superstar.

    The Fan actor concluded his video with a promise.

    “See you on the big screen in 2021,” confirming reports that his upcoming film Pathan is in the works.

    Pathan, which marks SRK’s return to the big screen after a long break, will see him play a special agent. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham are also part of the film while Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are expected to have cameos.

    SRK was also recently spotted outside Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai sporting a new look for the film.

    Pathan is expected to release on Diwali 2021.
