Siddhanth Kapoor drug case: Veteran actor Shakti Kapoor's son and actor Siddhanth Kapoor who was arrested on Monday when his medical reports confirmed his consumption of drugs has been released on bail. The actor was detained from a party at a five-star hotel in Bengaluru. Hours after his release, Siddhant took to Instagram and shared a selfie with a woman on a flight. He added a red heart, folded hands, and evil-eye amulet emojis to the picture, in which he can be seen sitting with the woman on the flight. Both of them had their masks on their faces. This marks Siddhanth's first post after he was arrested for alleged consumption of drugs. However, it seems like he has now deleted the image.
