Aryan Khan, the 23-year-old son of actor Shah Rukh Khan, has been in news for over a week now as he has been arrested by the NCB in connection with the possession of drugs at a cruise raid in Mumbai. 

People are divided on the whole fiasco as one section is defending Aryan while the other section is brutally attacking him and shaming Shah Rukh Khan We have been seeing so many trends on social media related to SRK and Aryan but the latest one has become a heated argument on Twitter. 

SRK has been termed as ‘Muslim superstar’ by a journalist and people are debating over the whole connotation. The senior editor of The Wire, Arfa Khanum Sherwani spoke in favour of SRK and mentioned that Aryan is being targeted but her tweet has created havoc on social media.

She wrote, “AryanKhan case has nothing to do with him consuming drugs but a clear targeting of Shahrukh. Aryan’s basic right of securing bail is being denied in a free country. SRK is undoubtedly the biggest Muslim superstar of our times. ‘Process as punishment’ is a msg to him to fall in line.”

Her tweet hasn’t gone down too well with people on Twitter and they are trolling the journalist. The supporters are bashing the journalist for creating this divide and in turn adding to SRK’s issues. People are saying that he should be addressed as an Indian superstar.
