Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his family took a sigh of relief after their son Aryan Khan was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on Thursday. India’s former attorney general Mukul Rohatgi, who represented him at the Bombay High Court, has revealed how Shah Rukh had “tears of relief” as Aryan was in jail since almost a month.

“The father had tears of joy in his eyes”, said Rohatgi.

Soon after Aryan was granted bail, images of Shah Rukh with his team of lawyers had also surfaced on the internet . The 23-year-old is expected to walk out of the Arthur Road jail on Friday as the court is yet to give its operative order on the conditions imposed while granting bail.  

“He (Shah Rukh Khan) has been very, very worried the last three-four days that I was there and I’m not even sure whether he had proper meals.

“He was just having coffee after coffee. And he was very, very worried. And I could see a big sense of relief, yeah, on the father’s face last time I met him,” Rohatgi said in an interview to NDTV. 

He also said, “He is not a lawyer but a person with strong common sense and perception. He was trying to tell me the background, whatever it was, where his son studied, whom did he know, what were the chats about.”

Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3 after a drug raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast  on October 2.
