Several Bollywood stars and social media users have considered the rejection of Aryan Khan’s bail plea by a special court in Mumbai as pure harassment.

On Thursday, after the rejection of acclaimed Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son’s bail plea in special court of Mumbai, several Bollywood stars and netizens came forward raising their voice against the injustice done.

Though, the court has reserved the order on the bail plea till October 20 to which Aryan Khan will have to remain in jail for more than six days. Various Bollywood stars have expressed their disappointment over court’s order against SRK’s son and several social media users have claimed the court’s order as ‘pure harassment’.

Celebrities including actress Swara Bhasker who while taking to her social media account, tweeted and criticised the orders.

Pure harassment!

Furthermore, filmmaker Hansal Mehta also expressed his concerns saying, “Marijuana/cannabis consumption is legal in many countries. It has been decriminalized in many. In our country its consumption is used more for harassment than for narcotics control. A movement like the one to abolish sec 377 is necessary to end this continuing travesty.”
