Controversies Surrounding Personal & Professional Life

Being a star kid and several other reasons, Aryan Khan faced many disputes, including: 

📛 2021 Drugs Case: During a cruise ship raid in October 2021, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) detained Aryan on suspicion of narcotics. He was repeatedly refused bail and held for 25 days in Mumbai Central Prison. Because there was insufficient proof, the Bombay High Court ultimately granted him bail. He was cleared of all charges in May 2022.

📛 “Set Up” Allegations: It was then disclosed that Sameer Wankhede, an IRS officer, and other case participants were charged with criminal conspiracy against Aryan Khan. The CBI looked into claims that they threatened to implicate Aryan Khan in the drug case and demanded a bribe of ₹25 crore ($3.04 million) from his family. An NCB special inquiry team found irregularities in Wankhede’s investigation.

📛 Media Trial: Throughout his incarceration, Aryan was the focus of “rigorous media trials,” with some news outlets running headlines declaring him guilty. 

📛 “Love Child” speculations: In 2013, after his younger brother Abram was born through surrogacy, there were speculations that he was Aryan’s “love child.” Aryan’s father, Shah Rukh Khan, officially addressed the “very disturbing rumour” and said that it had a significant impact on his 15-year-old son.

Affairs

Aryan Khan is rumoured to be in a relationship with Brazilian actress and model Larissa Bonesi. They have been spotted together at parties, including a New Year’s Eve event hosted by Aryan’s brand, D’YAVOL. The rumours heightened in 2024 when a Redditor noted that Aryan follows Bonesi’s entire family and even her dog’s Instagram account. There is no official confirmation of their relationship.

Career Challenges

Impact of Drugs Case

The 2021 drugs case was a powerful personal and professional challenge. His father, Shah Rukh Khan, later said that the “bothersome and unpleasant things” that happened made him “learn a lesson to be very quiet and work hard with dignity.”

As a “star kid,” Aryan Khan‘s activities are constantly under media scrutiny. It can be a challenge to maintain privacy. He is known for being private, often avoiding cameras, particularly since the NCB controversy.

Comparison to Father

While not explicitly stated as a “challenge,” his father, Shah Rukh Khan, mentioned that Aryan has no interest in acting because he always believed that if he doesn’t perform to the audience’s expectations, he will be criticised for not keeping his father’s legacy.

Conclusion

Aryan Khan is developing his own career in entertainment by using his creativity, sense of entrepreneurship, and fortitude. Beyond his well-known family connections, he is establishing himself with his unique endeavours and love of storytelling.
