Ajaz Khan gained attention for his appearance in the reality show Bigg Boss and was also seen participating in several other reality shows. In a recent interview, he shared his experience with Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, during their time together in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail.
Ajaz was arrested in 2021 for his alleged involvement in a drug-related case, while Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan, was also held there in connection with separate legal matters.
In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Ajaz revealed how he supported Aryan during his incarceration. He claimed to have protected him from dangerous groups within the prison.
Ajaz stated that the young star kid was vulnerable in such an environment. He recalled that the jail housed around 3,500 criminals, making it an unsafe place for anyone. “Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, was also in jail at that time. I helped him as well and sent him water and cigarettes. This is all you can do for someone in jail. And yes, I also saved him from gundas and the mafia. He was in danger—he was placed in a common barrack,” he revealed.
Reports suggest that Aryan was taken into custody in an alleged drugs case following an NCB raid on a party aboard a Goa-bound cruise ship. After spending 26 days in jail, he was granted bail by the Bombay High Court on 28 October 2021 due to insufficient evidence. Since the incident, Shah Rukh Khan has maintained a low profile, and paparazzo Varinder Chawla earlier told Hindi Rush that King Khan was somewhat disappointed with the media for invading his privacy and publishing speculative reports about his son’s arrest.
However, Aryan has not responded to these claims so far. He is currently focused on making his directorial debut with ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’, which is set to release on an OTT platform soon.
