Popular TV actor Karan Patel has come out in support of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his son Aryan Khan in a case related to the seizure of drugs following a raid at a party on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. The actor claimed that Aryan was being used to target Shah Rukh. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Karan wrote "Using the ‘Prince’ to get back at the ‘KING’ is the most coward and shameful act that can be. Just because you needed a dark spot to hide a bigger issue, You are trying to stop the ‘Son’ from shining, well, you can’t... It’s in his genes. #ImWithSRKAlways." To complete his post, Karan added, '#AfewThousandKilos vs #AnEmptyDuffleBag.'
