New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI) Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty on Sunday appealed to the media to give a "breather" to fellow actor Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau after it busted an illegal rave party on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.
Speaking at an event here, Shetty said that whenever someone connected to the film industry is involved in a case like this, there is scrutiny and assumptions are made.
"When a place is raided, a lot of people are detained. We assume that the kids must have consumed or done something. All I want to say is that the process is on, let's give that child a breather," he said.
"Whenever there is something related to Bollywood, the entire media starts reacting on every angle and assumes that everyone is like that. I think the child should be given an opportunity and let the real reports come out. Till then, he is a child and I think he is our responsibility," he added.
