Not once but twice, the ‘Dabangg’ actor was seen visiting at SRK’s Mannat to show his solidarity with the actor and his family. 

Salman’s sister Alvira was among the first ones who visited Shah Rukh’s Mannat to show her support with the power couple. 

Director and SRK’s friend Hansal Mehta also came out in support of SRK. He wrote on Twitter, “It is painful for a parent having to deal with a child getting into trouble. It gets compounded when people begin to arrive at judgements before the law takes its course. It is disrespectful and unfair to the parent and to the parent-child relationship. With you @iamsrk.”

Senior Congress politician Shashi Tharoor has spoken against the ‘witch-hunt’ that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is facing after the arrest of his 23 years old son Aryan Khan. “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,” Tharoor tweeted.

Actress and good friend of SRK Preity Zinta also visited his residence Mannat in order to show her support. 

Actress Tanishaa Mukerji also came out in support of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan amid his arrest. In an interview with a leading daily, she claimed that Aryan was being 'harassed' on a media trial. She slammed media houses for Bollywood bashing and sensationalism. The actress also opposed the view that Aryan's case is simply the cons of stardom. 

Actor Hrithik Roshan has also extended his support to the 23-year-old Aryan. Taking to Instagram, Hrithik penned a lengthy post asking him to be strong as he feels "God gives toughest ones the toughest balls to play."
