Shah Rukh Khan is having a tough time after his son Aryan Khan’s arrest in the Mumbai cruise drug case. Many stars have come out in support of Badshah Khan and his son in these difficult times. Joining the bandwagon is the veteran actor and now politician Shatrughan Sinha.

Recently, Sinha has come forward in support of Shah Rukh Khan. He has criticized the way Aryan Khan is being “used” in the cruise ship case. The actor has said that Aryan is being targeted because he is Shah Rukh Khan’s son.

Shatrughan stated, “We cannot say that it’s his religion that has come in the way, but some people have begun using that subject now, which is not right at all. Whoever is an Indian is the son of India and all are equal under our constitution. Shah Rukh is definitely the reason why the boy is being targeted. There are other names like Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant, but nobody is talking about them,” he told a leading daily.

He also pointed out how Deepika Padukone was in focus in a similar case earlier, though other names were also involved.

Last week, when only a few people came out in support of Aryan Khan, Shatrughan Sinha was asked about the silence of people in the industry in the matter. He replied to the same by saying, “Will the government tackle the repercussions if a person from Bollywood says something? In such cases, our people have to bear the brunt. There have been protests outside their houses. So, they say let’s not do it. When you talk about casting couch or drugs, you judge any industry by the majority.”
