Shatrughan
Sinha
has
expressed
disappointment
about
Shah
Rukh
Khan
not
reaching
out
to
him
after
the
veteran
actor
spoke
in
favour
of
Aryan
Khan
over
his
arrest.
Aryan
was
arrested
in
October
last
year
after
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
carried
out
a
raid
on
a
cruise
ship
near
Mumbai.
He
was
kept
in
custody
for
close
to
a
month.
Shatrughan
Sinha
had
been
a
vocal
supporter
of
Aryan.
He
criticised
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
and
claimed
that
NCB
was
excessively
harsh
on
Aryan
and
victimised
him.
Shatrughan
also
shared
a
statement
after
Aryan
was
given
a
clean
cheat
and
said
that
his
stand
was
vindicated.
Sinha
told
Nation
Next,
"As
a
parent,
I
felt
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
pain.
Even
if
he
was
guilty,
instead
of
rehabilitating
him,
they
locked
him
up...
I
should
also
say
that,
as
expected,
I
didn't
receive
a
thank
you
card
from
Shah
Rukh,
even
though
I
was
maybe
the
most
prominent
voice
standing
up
for
Aryan
in
all
of
Mumbai.
But
I
have
a
habit
of
calling
a
spade
a
spade,
and
for
standing
up
for
what
is
right.
I
stood
up
against
what
I
believed
was
an
injustice.
As
far
as
Shah
Rukh
is
concerned,
I
didn't
receive
any
thanks
or
a
thank
you
card
from
him."
Shatrughan
also
revealed
that
he
didn't
get
in
touch
with
SRK
either.
"No,
absolutely
not.
Why
would
I,
I
don't
need
work
from
him.
I
don't
need
to
get
in
touch
with
him,
in
fact,
he
should
have
gotten
in
touch
with
me."
The
veteran
star
also
admitted
that
Shah
Rukh
had
never
sought
his
support,
and
added,
"But,
to
be
fair
to
him,
he
didn't
ask
me
for
support
either."
Shatrughan
after
taking
a
step
back
from
acting
joined
the
political
world.
He
is
currently
a
Lok
Sabha
MP
from
Asansol
and
had
previously
served
as
a
minister
in
the
government
of
late
Prime
Minister
Atal
Bihari
Vajpayee.
