According to the chat logs, Shah Rukh Khan was observed appealing to Wankhede to treat his son Aryan Khan leniently when he was apprehended in connection with the cruise drug case.
The Mumbai High Court has received a document submitted by Wankhede, which reportedly contains a conversation between him and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.
“Sameer sahib may I speak with you for a minute please. Regards shah rukh khan. I know this is officially inappropriate and maybe outright wrong but once as a father if I can speak with you. please. Love srk,” Shah RukhKhan began the chat, Free Press Journal reported.
Asking Wankhede to be lenient with son, Shah Rukh Khan stated: "Please tell them to go easy man and let me get my son home. Please. There is nothing more I can say or do but beg you. PleaseY ou have noticed my behaviour through all this. You know I would never stand by anything against what you are doing. I believed it when you said you are thinking of Aryan as your own and want to make him a better person. I haven't done anything to not help my son get that reformation. I haven't been in press. I haven't made a statement. I have just believed in your goodness. Please please don't let me down as a father. Please."
Promising Wankhede that Aryan will transform into a good man in future, the actor stated: "I am going by what you said....I hope you feel my son has had the lesson you felt he should have had and henceforth he is able to build his life to be an upright hardworking young man towards a bright future. Thanks for all your kindness and care. ( sorry it's a late night message and I hope I am not disturbing you....but I was awake....naturally as a father ) Love srk."
In response, Sameer said: ”Shahrukh he has been a good kid all the while and hope that he will for sure now be reformed a so enough counselled by me Hard days will be over soon."
