“Aryan Khan was invited to the cruise as a spl guest. He was invited by one Pratik Gaba. Aryan & Arbaz Merchant both were invited by same person. They both landed up together at cruise terminal”, he added.
Mukul Rohatgi further said, “One more thing put against Aryan are WhatsApp chats of 2018, 2019 & 2020. These chats are not related to Cruise case. Cruise case started with Gaba (Pratik Gaba) & ended there. There is no connection between the chats and present case of Cruise”.
