Shobhaa De calls Aryan Khan's case second major drug bust after Sushant Singh Rajput's, says it should act as a wake-up call

Ever since Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan was taken into custody by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), many celebrities, public personalities and even politicians have shared their views on the matter. While some have come out in support of the actor and his son and raised suspicion on the two being 'targeted' by the narcotics agency, others have said that no one should be above the law.
Author and columnist, Shobhaa De was among those who said that that legal process must be followed as they are "citizens of the country like everybody else."

Speaking to NDTV, she shared her thoughts on the second high profile case that has come to light since 2020's Bollywood drug case that emerged out of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.She said, "The problem is very much there and has been addressed maybe perhaps not strongly enough after Sushant Singh Rajput that incident. This is the second such and which should act as a wake-up call. What we have to remember to start with is that whether it’s Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan or anybody else the legal process is being followed, they are citizens of the country like everybody else.”

Saying that she can't imagine what Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri Khan must be going through, she added that the drug case should serve as a "wake up call" to all parents. She also advised parents to address these issues with their kids, and said, "... it is their parents perhaps who need to address deeper problems like parenting. The most precious gift you can give to your child is your time.”
Aryan will be in NCB custody till October 7.

He was taken into custody along with model Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker and Gomit Chopra. The star kids were arrested late on Sunday night.
The eight revellers were nabbed at various times on Sunday after the NCB swooped onto their alleged drug party aboard the Cordelia Cruises ship on Saturday evening, shocking people in the entertainment industry and the common masses.
