‘Give Aryan a breather’

Though B-Town prefers to keep mum about such cases, Suniel Shetty has spoken up and asked for a “breather for Aryan”. On Sunday, the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ hashtag was Twitter’s top trend as a section of netizens slammed Shah Rukh Khan after his son Aryan was detained by the NCB. Speaking at an event in New Delhi, Shetty said, “When there is a raid, several people are caught. We assume that this child must have consumed drugs or that child must have done it. But the proceedings are on, let’s give that child [Aryan] a breather.” Shetty added, “Whenever something happens in Bollywood, the media scrutinises everything and jumps to conclusions. Give the child an opportunity. Let the real reports come out. Baccha hai. Taking care of him is our responsibility.” Anna too found himself facing the ire of netizens for calling Aryan, 23, a ‘baccha’.

Farewell, Natukaka
