Controversies
- In 2013, when Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan welcomed their third child AbRam through surrogacy, the rumours came in the media that AbRam was the child of Aryan and his Romanian girlfriend. Later, Shah Rukh Khan cleared all such rumours, he said,
Four years ago, my lovely wife Gauri and me decided to have a third child. It was claimed on the net that this child was the love child of our first child, Aryan Khan, who was 15 years old. Apparently, he had sowed his wild oats with a girl while driving his car in Romania. And yeah there was a fake video to go with it. And we were so disturbed as a family. My son who is 19 now, even when you say hello to him he says, ‘But bro, I didn’t even have a European driving license.”
- In 2013, an MMS went viral on social media in which Aryan was seen in an intimate position with Navya Nanda. Later, in further investigation, it was proved that in the video the boy and girl were Aryan and Navya’s look-alike and not them.
- On 3 October 2021, he was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for consuming and possessing drugs in a rave party at the Cordelia cruise, Mumbai. According to the NCB officials, Aryan was consuming drugs for four years and was crying during the interrogation. He was booked under Sections 27 (punishment for consumption of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance), 8C (produce, manufacture, possess, sell or purchase of drugs), and other relevant provisions of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS). Earlier, Aryan’s mother Gauri Khan was alleged of possessing marijuana at the Berlin Airport.
- On 28 October 2021, Aryan was granted bail in the drug case by the Bombay High Court. While interacting with the media, former AG Mukul Rohatgi said,
They (Aryan Khan, Arbaz Merchant & Munmum Dhamecha) will come of the jail after the order is released from the court… For me, it is a regular case – to win some, to lose some. I am happy that he (Khan) has got bail.”
- In March 2022, according to some media reports, Aryan was framed in the cruise drug case, and there was no evidence to find any connection between Khan and the international drug syndicate. Later, the NCB released a statement in which these reports were termed as rumours. Sanjay Singh, Deputy Director General of NCB, while refuting the claims of Khan’s innocence reported by some media houses, said,
As far as the media reports on non-availability of evidences against Aryan Khan are concerned, these are not true and are just speculations and nothing else. These statements were not cross checked with NCB before being published. Investigation is not yet complete and it is premature to say anything at this stage.”
- On 27 May 2022, Aryan Khan was given clean chit by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the cruise drug case. The anti-drug agency said,
no drugs had been found on Aryan Khan.”
- On 13 July 2022, a special court dealing with Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act cases allowed Aryan Khan’s plea to seek his passport back. Aryan’s bail bond was also cancelled by the court.

He came to me and said, ‘I don’t think I want to act.”
