Though much of mainstream Bollywood maintained a studied silence, several
colleagues, including filmmakers Alankrita Shrivastava, Hansal Mehta and actor

Pooja Bhatt, spoke out in support of the family. The media also came in for some
attack.

Aryan, 23, and seven others were arrested by the NCB after a raid on a cruise ship.

₹9,499 Shah Rukh was mobbed by reporters, one of whom could be heard asking what he
(26% off) talked to Aryan about. The 55-year-old waded his way through a sea of people and
got into his car without a word. He was seen greeting some people with folded
hands in videos circulating on social media.

Commenting on a video of media hounding Shah Rukh as he made his way to the
car, actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt said it was 'tragic'.

it means compromising your own health & safety but how do you'll explain this

Screenwriter Kanika Dhillon, who has been vocal in her support to the star, said it
was "heartbreaking" to see the turn of events.

Heartbreaking… just simply heartbreaking …

In another Twitter post, Ms Dhillon, who is set to collaborate with the actor in a
film to be directed by Rajkumar Hirani, said in adverse times a parent who
happens to be a star is subjected to "heartless abuse and ruthless judgement".

"Being a celebrity, being a star, being from 'Bollywood' means your emotion, your
torment and your concern as a father become a matter of public consumption,
heartless abuse and ruthless judgement," the "Rashmi Rocket" co-writer said.

Mr Mehta retweeted Ms Dhillon's post and wrote that the industry has always
been vulnerable to criticism, scrutiny and abuse.

"Bollywood is not a place, not a company and definitely not some mafia. It is a
loosely coined term for a large number of individuals who work really hard to
create, to entertain, to engage and unlike many other professions are always
vulnerable to criticism, scrutiny and abuse," the "Shahid" director said.

Being a celebrity, being a star, being from ‘Bollywood' means your emotion, your
torment and your concern as a father become a matter of public consumption,
heartless abuse and ruthless judgement.

— Hansal Mehta (@mehtahansal) October 21, 2021

He added that Bollywood has often become a "diversionary vehicle" for a few
divisive, abusive and inefficient set of some cowardly invisible people.

Shah Rukh reached the prison around 9 am and left at 9.35 am after meeting his
son for about 15 to 20 minutes. According to an official, there was a glass fencing
between them and they spoke on the intercom. A few hours later, the NCB visited
Mannat.

Taking a jibe at the NCB, Ms Dhillon asked, "Sohow are the reporters and cameras
all set already for the 'officials' to make an entry and all captured at the 'right time'
for the 'visit'?"

"Great co-ordination with the paps! Well done. Many in the show-biz don't manage
this timing right!" she wrote as she shared a video from a news portal showing
NCB officials at Mannat's entrance.

Actor Sonu Sood had a word of caution for the media.

"Before running after someone's feelings with a camera, remember, God's camera
is sitting on you. Because not every news is news," the actor tweeted in Hindi.

किसी की भावनाओं के पीछे कै मरा लेकर दौड़ने से पहले याद रखना,

ईश्वर का कै मरा आप पर फ़ोकस लगाए बैठा है।
क्योंकि हर ख़बर.. ख़बर नहीं होती ????

Since Aryan's arrest, noted film personalities, including Hrithik Roshan, Zoya
Akhtar, Farah Khan and Raveena Tandon, have expressed their solidarity with
Shah Rukh and his interior designer wife Gauri. Close friend superstar Salman
Khan has also visited the couple several times.

The family has found ample support in SRK's fans too, many of whom said they
empathised with him. After all, they had children too and this was one time when
he was not just a star but a parent like them.

Like a bhelpuri hawker outside Shah Rukh's imposing sea front bungalow who was
making a fast buck on a day so many media crews and fans had gathered.

"On a Thursday afternoon, we don't usually see so many people but it's packed.
But it isn't that we are enjoying his (Shah Rukh's) misery. I also have a young son in
Bihar, so I can understand what Shah Rukh must be feeling," Ram said.

Outside Mannat, a selfie spot for many tourists to Mumbai, a battery of

mediapersons was stationed to catch any movement from the house.

A family of four from Bhopal took turns to click each other's pictures. Then finally,
a family picture outside the gate after requesting a media photographer.

"We had heard that the place outside his residence is always crowded but we
didn't expect so many media persons. The attention on him is obvious, he is a big
star. But he will sail through," Rajesh, a businessman, said.

Prateek Solanki, an engineering student from the city, added that he has been
visiting Shah Rukh's house since he was a child but the current times and the
national spotlight on him is "heartbreaking".

"Aryan is almost my age. I can't imagine what he must be going through. But I'm
praying everyday."

Another fan, Kuhu Goyal, said she had been standing outside Mannat since she
saw visuals of Shah Rukh exiting Arthur Road Jail. She travelled more than an
hour in a local train, from Virar to Bandra, to show solidarity.

"We stood by him through his highs and lows and this is possibly his lowest. The
least we can do is stand by him now," the 25-year-old said.
