Following the arrest of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, in regards to the possession of drugs at a rave party on a luxury cruise, people have been attacking the actor brutally on social media. People have dragged SRK’s association with the popular education technology company BYJU's and want the platform to remove him as an ambassador. 

BYJU’s signed SRK as its brand ambassador in 2017 and sales went up twofold when the superstar came on board. After Aryan’s arrest, people are not okay with the fact that SRK is seen lecturing others on good parenting in the app's commercials. 

One of the users wrote, “#SRK got busy educating Indian kids on #Byjus, looks like he ignored his own kid... Oops... Probably #Byjus might take him off as his brand ambassador?”
