On October 3, Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was arrested after the Narcotics Control Bureau conducted a surprise raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. The NCB claimed to have recovered drugs from some persons. In these difficult times, since Aryan’s arrest, SRK’s fans and well-wishers have express their love and solidarity for the actor by trending hashtags like ‘I Stand With SRK’, ‘With SRK’, I Stand With Aryan Khan’. There is now a poem on Shah Rukh Khan written by Akhil Katyal that has become a rage on the internet. Praising SRK for the diverse roles he has played over the year, Akhil says the entire nation resides in Shah Rukh Khan and his fans cannot agree more. The poem that has gone viral reads, “Wo kabhi Rahul hai, kabhi Raj Kabhi Charlie toh kabhi Max Surinder bhi wo, Harry bhi wo Devdas bhi our Veer bhi Ram, Mohan, Kabir bhi Wo Amar hai, Samar hai Rizwan, Raees, Jehangir bhi. Shayad isliye kuch logon ke halak mein fasta hai, Ki ek Shahrukh mein pura Hindustan basta hai.”
