Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan last month, expressing his solidarity with them. He wrote to them on October 14 after their son Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3 in the Mumbai cruise drug case.

Sources told India Today that Rahul Gandhi wrote to them, saying he was ‘sorry’ that they had to go through all the difficulties. He added in the letter: “No child deserves to be treated like this.”

Rahul Gandhi also mentioned: “I have seen the good work you have done for people. I am sure their blessings and goodwill will be with you.”

Expressing his sympathies, he wished them well and hoped that they will be together soon. Aryan Khan was released on bail from Mumbai's Arthur Road prison 22 days after his arrest in Mumbai cruise ship drugs case.

Aryan Khan stepped out of jail on October 30, after the Bombay High Court granted him bail on October 28. According to sources, the stay at Arthur Road jail had been ‘mentally tough and challenging' for the 23-year-old. Hence, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri are considering getting a life coach for Aryan to help him overcome the experience he had in prison.

The Narcotics Control Bureau had opposed Aryan Khan's bail plea, stating that he was involved in a conspiracy and therefore should not be granted bail in the Mumbai cruise drugs bust case. “Khan was accused of being used to procure contraband, and the contraband was found in the custody of [Arbaaz] Merchant. The investigations pertaining to transactions abroad need to be investigated and are being investigated,” the NCB said.
