Mukul Rohatgi, the attorney general who defended Aryan Khan in the Bombay High Court, has disclosed that Shah Rukh Khan has been surviving entirely on coffee for a long time.

On Thursday, the Bombay High Court awarded Shah Rukh Khan and his family a relief when their son Aryan Khan was granted bail.

Mukul Rohatgi, India’s former attorney general, who represented him at the Bombay High Court, said Shah Rukh felt “tears of relief” because Aryan had been in jail for about a month.

Mukul Rohatgi revealed, “The father had tears of delight in his eyes.” Soon after Aryan’s release, a picture of a relieved Shah Rukh with his legal team appeared on the internet.

The 23-year-old is scheduled to be released from the Arthur Road jail on Friday, as the court has yet to issue an operative order on the bail conditions.

“He (Shah Rukh) has been very, very worried the last three-four days that I was there and I’m not even sure whether he had proper meals. He was just having coffee after coffee. And he was very, very worried. And I could see a big sense of relief, yeah, on the father’s face last time I met him,” said Mukul Rohatgi in an interview to NDTV.

He also said, “He is not a lawyer but a person with strong common sense and perception. He was trying to tell me the background, whatever it was, where his son studied, whom did he know, what were the chats about.”
