Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty has stepped forward in order to support Aryan and urged everyone including the media to give the child a breather and an opportunity to keep his point. 


Sharing the video on its official Twitter page, ANI wrote, “When a raid is conducted at a place, many people are taken into custody. We assume that a particular boy must have consumed it (drugs). The process is on. Let's give that child a breather. Let real reports come out: Actor Sunil Shetty on NCB raid at an alleged rave party.”


 



The video has been shared by news agency ANI, from an event where Suniel kept his viewpoint and said, “I would like to say that wherever there is a raid, several people are caught. And we assume that this child must have consumed drugs or this child must have done it. But the proceedings are on, let’s give that child a breather.” 


Adding to it, he said, “Whenever something happens in Bollywood, the media scrutinises everything and jumps to conclusions. Give the child an opportunity. Let the real reports come out. Baccha hai (He’s a kid). Taking care of him is our responsibility.”
