Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who was arrested and spent about a month in jail, has been exonerated from this case by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) last year after a special investigation team (SIT) of the agency probed the raids afresh and said there was no evidence of wrongdoing against him.
In the free press journal report, screenshots from the chats were shared. Shah Rukh sent repeated unanswered messages to Wankhede.
Wankhede said it was always Shah Rukh who initiated the conversation and he only responded.
Seeking the quashing of the CBI case against him, former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede in his plea in the Bombay High Court has claimed that text messages sent to him by Shah Rukh Khan and his replies “nowhere” suggest that he made extortion demand to favor the actor’s son Aryan Khan in the 2021 Cordelia cruise drug bust case.
The actor began the conversation.“Sameer sahib may I speak with you for a minute please. Regards shah rukh khan. I know this is officially inappropriate and maybe outright wrong but once as a father if I can speak with you. please. Love SRK,”
Shah Rukh added.“Can't thank you enough for all the thoughts and personal insights you gave to me about my own. I will make sure that he turns out to be someone that you and I are both proud of. 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 mold them for the future. Thank you once again for your kindness and support. Love SRK,”
When Shah Rukh asked Wankhede to be kind on Aryan, he said, “Of course don't worry.” Shah Rukh also promised Wankhede that Aryan will turn out to be a good man in the future. “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. Sameer also said, ”Shahrukh he has been a good kid all the while and hope that he will for sure now be reformed a so enough counselled by me Hard days will be over soon."
Wankhede’s plea stated, “Allegations pertaining to the arrest of Aryan Khan being only an attempt for demanding money in exchange of his release are blatantly false and can be clearly seen from the messages sent by Mr Shahrukh Khan himself during the time Aryan was in the custody of NCB. Mr Shahrukh Khan has, vide his messages, clearly portrayed that he has no grievances against the Petitioner and has only requested to be kind to his son.”
He claimed that Shah Rukh praised his integrity and also expressed his “anguish” over “political involvement in the matter”.
