Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta wrote, “I’m very happy that Aryan Khan has gotten bail but also very upset with a system that kept a young man behind bars for more than 25 days for something he never did. That has to change! God bless you and be strong Aryan Khan.”

Aryan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmum Dhamecha will be released either tomorrow or by Saturday, says Arbaaz's lawyer Amit Desai. All three will be coming out of jail only after the operative part of the order comes tomorrow.

On October 2, Aryan was detained by the NCB for an alleged drug bust on a cruise before the youngster boarded it. He was soon taken into custody and consequently arrested. The 23-year-old was then sent to a 14-day judicial remand.
