According to the NCB, Ananya Panday had supplied weed to Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan in 2019. The agency established this information based on the WhatsApp chats they had recovered from SRK’s son's mobile phone.

“The chats recovered from Aryan Khan's mobile phone reveal that in 2018-19, she helped supply drugs to Aryan thrice by providing him the numbers of drug dealers," NCB sources told ANI. 

Ananya has, however, denied the supply-related talks in the chat conversation and told the NCB officials that she has never consumed or supplied drugs, the sources added.

Aryan Khan was arrested by NCB sleuths along with seven others on October 3 following a raid at Mumbai cruise ship on October 2. Aryan's bail will be heard by the Bombay High Court on Tuesday (October 26).
