Bollywood expresses solidarity with Shah Rukh Khan
As news of Aryan Khan's arrest spread, several Bollywood actors and celebrities expressed solidarity with Shah Rukh Khan.Film actor Salman Khan arrived at Shah Rukh Khan's house 'Mant' to meet him.
Actress Pooja Bhatt tweeted, "I stand with you. Although you don't need it. But I am with you. That time will pass. "
Sachita Krishna Murthy Tweet
Actress and singer Sachita Krishna Murthy said in her tweet, "After the NCB raid on movie stars, those who are targeting Bollywood should know that nothing has been found and nothing will be proved.There is a price to pay for fame in Bollywood. "
Taking a Political turn
The ruling Congress party in Maharashtra termed the raid on the cruise and its aftermath as an attempt to divert attention from the "real problem" of seizing thousands of kilograms of drugs at the Mandra port in Gujarat.
Dr. Shama Mohammad, National Spokesperson of the Congress, said, “The NCB is very fast in catching small fish but shuts its mouth when it comes to big fish like Adani in the case of smuggling 3,000 kg of heroin.Why is the NCB protecting the real ringleader of organized drug trafficking and on whose orders? "
Last week, authorities seized about 3,000kg of heroin, 37kg of cocaine and other drugs at the Mandra port in Gujarat.The port is managed by the Adani Group, a company owned by Gautam Adani, a businessman believed to be close to Prime Minister Modi.
Actress Riya Chakraborty was questioned by the NCB in connection with the suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in connection with drug use.
Bollywood's relationship with drugs is very old
Last year, when the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide came to light, there was talk of drug use in Bollywood.The NCB had questioned actress Riya Chakraborty, Deepika Padukone, Rakul Preet, Shruti Modi and fashion designer Simon Khambata in this regard.
Jaya Bachchan, a member of the Indian Parliament, former actress and wife of Amitabh Bachchan, said at the time that some people could tarnish the image of the entire industry.Actress Kangana Ranaut had said that 99% of people in Bollywood use drugs but actress Rowena Tandon denied this, saying, "If a few eggs in a basket are dirty, not everyone can be called dirty. "
Allegations of large-scale drug use in Bollywood are not new, but so far no official evidence has emerged.
However, many movie stars have been jailed in the past. The most important of these is Sanjay Dutt.His father Sunil Dutt had also sought medical help to rid Sanjay Dutt of his drug addiction and had also made a film on the subject called 'Sanju'.
