Aryan Khan refrains from social gatherings; was coaxed to attend Karan Johar’s party

After Karan Johar’s grand birthday party on May 25, there have been many a snide remark on Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan’s sullen look when the paparazzi clicked him at the venue. A close friend of the Khans spoke up in young Khan’s defence. “Leave the boy alone. You first rob him of all happiness. Then you expect him to throw obliging smiles into the camera. This is inhuman. Leave the kid alone. He is just 24. He has been through hell. He is scarred for life. Now you want him to smile for you. Give the child a break.”

Says the friend, “Aryan doesn’t want to attend any parties after what happened. He had attended that decisive rave party on a ship on the insistence of some friends. How was he to know it would change his life? Now he is fearful of any social interaction. He doesn’t even socialize with his closest friends.”

Apparently, Karan Johar had to persuade Aryan to attend the part. “Aryan didn’t want to go for Karan’s birthday party. But Karan is close to the entire family. Shah Rukh, his wife Gauri and Karan had to coax Aryan (to attend the party). In fact he was reluctant to even attend the IPL matches to support his Dad’s team,” says the friend.

It would probably be a very long time before Aryan’s wounds are healed. What he needs is empathy and privacy to overcome the demons that have lodged themselves in his subconscious.

Friends say the Khan family is still grappling with the tragedy. “They may seem normal. But Aryan’s time in jail has imprisoned his entire family in a pall of gloom. Their sense of shared and individual happiness is for now, gone. So please let them solve their crisis and please don’t judge Aryan for not smiling. He is suffering.”

Kamal Haasan weighs in on North vs South debate – “For me, Kanyakumari is as much yours as Kashmir is mine”

Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan is gearing up for the release of Vikram starring Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi. For the same, the actor attended a promotional event in Delhi. With the South industry seeing massive success in the North belt, Hindi cinema has faced several bumps with few hits post pandemic. With the being said, many have weighed in on the ongoing debate between the industries including superstar Kamal Haasan.

 

The actor is busy promoting Vikram. When asked about the debate, he says that he is an Indian first. “I am an Indian, what are you? For me, the Taj Mahal is mine and the Madurai temple is yours. Kanyakumari is as much yours as Kashmir is mine,” the actor said, according to Indian Express.

When asked about the pan-India phenomenon, he said that it is new term but Indian films have always worked regardless of the language. “When you pan for gold, you pan for new words, coinages. Pan-India (films) have always been there,” he told PTI. “Shantaram ji (V Shantaram) did pan-India films. Padosan is a pan-India film. Mehmood ji almost spoke Tamil in the film. What do you call Mughal-e-Azam? It’s a pan India film for me. It’s nothing new. Our country is unique. Unlike America, we speak different languages but we are united. That’s the beauty of this country. We will always be making pan-India films. It depends on how good and universal the film is. Then, everyone would like to see it. Chemmeen, a Malayalam film, was a pan India film. They didn’t even dub it, there were no subtitles and people enjoyed it.”

Vikram is written and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil and Suriya. It is set to release in theatres on June 3.
