Hrithik Roshan on Instagram penned a lengthy note for extending his support to Aryan Khan. He wrote, “My dear Aryan. Life is a strange ride . It’s great because it’s uncertain. It’s great cause it throws you curve balls, but god is kind. He gives only the toughest ones the toughest balls to play. You know you are chosen when amidst the chaos you can feel the pressure to hold your own. And I know you must feel it now. The anger, the confusion, the helplessness. Aaah, the very ingredients that are needed to burn the hero out from inside you. But be wary, those same ingredients could burn away the good stuff... the kindness, the compassion, the love. Allow yourself to burn, but just enough.. Mistakes, failings, victories, success... they're all the same if you know which parts to keep with you and which parts to throw away from the experience. But know that you can grow better with them all. I’v known you as a kid and i’v known you as a man. Own it. Own everything you experience. They’r your gifts. Trust me. In time when you connect the dots... I promise you, It’s gonna make sense. Only if you have stared the devil in his eyes and kept your calm. Keep calm. Observe. These moments are the makers of your Tom. And Tom is going to have a brilliant sun shining. But for it, you must go thru the dark. Calm, still, owning your own. And trusting the light. Within. It’s always there. Love you man. Oct 7, 2021”

She had written on Instagram in a reply to a jounalist's post that mentioned Aryan's arrest should be a wake-up call for parents. Sussanne had commented, "I think this is not about Aryan Khan, as he was unfortunately at the wrong place at the wrong time. This situation is being made an example to drive home the excitement that some people get as they have a witch hunt on people from Bollywood. It is sad and unfair as he is a good kid. I stand by Gauri and Shah Rukh. (Photo credit: Sussanne Khan Instagram)

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to Twitter in order to show his concern towards SRK’s family. He tweeted, “It is painful for a parent having to deal with a child getting into trouble. It gets compounded when people begin to arrive at judgments before the law takes its course. It is disrespectful and unfair to the parent and to the parent-child relationship. With you @iamsrk.” (Photo credit: Hansal Mehta Instagram)

Senior Congress politician Shashi Tharoor also tweeted about the Aryan’s arrest. He wrote, "I am no fan of recreational drugs & haven’t ever tried any, but I am repelled by the ghoulish epicaricacy displayed by those now witch-hunting @iamsrk on his son’s arrest. Have some empathy, folks. The public glare is bad enough; no need to gleefully rub a 23yr old’s face in it.” (Photo credit: Shashi Tharoor Instagram)

Pooja Bedi took to Twitter and wrote, “If no drugs were found on #AryanKhan isn't it appalling that an innocent kid is made to spend days & days in lockup? It's psychologically damaging to be put in jail for no reason. The judicial system needs a major revamp... such systems create criminals by punishing innocents.” (Photo credit: Pooja Bedi Instagram)

Tanishaa Mukerji called Aryan's arrest 'harassment'. While reacting to Aryan Khan's arrest, Tanishaa Mukerji told the Bombay Times, "I definitely think that in Aryan’s case, this is harassment. More so by putting the child on a media trial! This is not real journalism, just sensationalism or Bollywood bashing as you would say. Unfortunately, people have become callous towards our stars saying things like, that these are the pros and cons to being a star kid! Really? Obviously, they don’t have any compassion. This country is for all of us and people should be more discerning when looking at the evidence and think what if this was happening to my child? What would I do? Is this justice?"
