This incident will prove to be a turning point in his life I promise, in a good way. This country needs honest and hardworking young people to take it forward. You and I have done our PARTS THE NEXT GENERATION HAS TO FOLLOW and it's in our hands to mould them for the future. Thank you once again for your kindness and support . Love SRK," Shah Rukh added, according to FPJ.

“I am going by what you said....I hope you feel my son has had the lesson you felt he should have had and henceforth he is able to build his life to be an upright hardworking young man towards a bright future. Thanks for all your kindness and care. ( sorry it's a late night message and I hope I am not disturbing you....but I was awake....naturally as a father ) Love srk,"
To this, Sameer replied that Aryan Khan “has been a good kid" and assured Shah Rukh Khan that ‘Hard days will be over soon". Mint could not independently confirm the chats between Shah Rukh Khan and NCB’s Sameer Wankhede.
Aryan Khan made the headlines after he was arrested during an NCB raid on Codelia cruise ship in 2021. Afterward, the star kid had spent nearly a month in jail. Later, he was exonerated from this case by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) last year after there was no evidence found against him proving any involvement in the drug case.
