After Aryan Khan’s arrest in the Cordelia Cruise drugs case, his father Shahrukh Khan neither made any public appearances nor released an official public statement. His fans, however, showered messages of support outside his home in Mumbai and on social media.
However, recently Shahrukh Khan visited his son Aryan at Arthur Road Jail where he is currently stationed after being denied bail. Pictures and videos of the actor flooded Twitter.

However, what struck a chord with fans was that the actor continued to acknowledge his fans outside the jail premises and greeted them with a pranaam. Here’s a video of the incident:
