Veteran actor Shah Rukh Khan‘s son Aryan Khan returned home after 25 days of judicial custody in a drug case and King Khan’s fans ensured that his prince feels special as hundreds gathered outside ‘Mannat’ to give him a warm welcome with dance, music and firecrackers, reported PTI.

News agency ANI released picture’s from outside Shah Rukh Khan’s residence in Mumbai. Fans can be seen holding banners and cards saying “Welcome Home Aryan Khan.”

As Shah Rukh’s convoy arrived at the star’s landmark bungalow Mannat, around 11.33 am, hundreds of fans of the actor gathered to catch a glimpse of the Khan family.

The supporters ran alongside the car, shouting, “We love Shah Rukh, we love Aryan” As soon as Aryan arrived at the bungalow, fans started dancing to the beats of the drums and burst firecrackers, reported PTI.

Fans across all ages, children, college students and even elderly couples, showed up to celebrate Aryan’s return to his home. The lane to Mannat’s entrance was jam-packed with crowds. Police and Shah Rukh’s private security had to clear the area for the car to move smoothly.

Here’s a video of gathering outside Mannat after Aryan Khan’s release. 

“Today we are standing outside Mannat and we finally feel like Jannat (heaven). It was a tough time. But Shah Rukh and the family have sailed through it,” a fan told PTI.

“It’s an emotional moment. I have my job interview later in the afternoon but I timed my visit here in a way that I get to witness the moment and be a part of the community that is Shah Rukh Khan fans. We are with him always,” said a fan named Kavita, who came to Mannat before going for a job interview at a corporate firm.

Even after the actor’s convoy went inside the bungalow, many fans waited in the hope that Shah Rukh might wave to the eager supporters, as he does annually on his birthday.

Among all the fans present, was also a Baba, who, in the morning, sat outside the gate of Mannat to pray for Aryan and “the youth of Maharashtra so that they don’t fall into the trap of drug addiction.” On Friday evening, Mannat was decked up with lights, signalling the celebrations for his release, Shah Rukh’s birthday on November 2, Diwali on November 4 and then Aryan’s birthday on November 13.

Aryan Khan, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) was released on bail early on Saturday after 25 days of judicial custody. He walked out of Mumbai’s Arthur jail this morning.

The actor’s son was arrested by the anti-drug agency during a drug raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast on October 2.
