‘Saw what Aryan Khan went through’

Rhea Chakraborty reveals reaching out to SRK’s son during his 2021 drug case

Actress Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested in 2020 in a drugs case linked to the death of her then-boyfriend, actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died by suicide on June 14, 2020, opened up about Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s 2021 drug case after he was arrested in the Cordelia Cruise ship drug case off Mumbai’s coast. Years later, Rhea recalled reaching out to Aryan during his controversy.

In an interview with Variety India, Rhea was asked if she has forgiven the media for spinning the narrative about her during the SSR case, citing how Aryan keeps away from the media and how their stories were very similar in terms of the charges.

To which she stated that she did reach out to Aryan. “When I saw what Aryan was going through, it took me back because it was spectacularly similar. In fact, more than my story, it looked a lot like Showik’s (my brother’s) story. They also have a resemblance. It was very, very hard to watch. I did not speak to the media many times, and I still do not.”

The actress stated that during her arrest, it was not cool to support her, as anyone who supported her would get trolled and lose job opportunities, making it miserable for them.
