Aryan is currently lodged in Arthur Road prison after he was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) following alleged drug seizure at a party from a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast on October 2.

During his counselling session by officials that involved NCB's zonal director Sameer Wankhede and other social workers, Aryan said after his release, he will work towards the "social and financial uplift of the poor and downtrodden" and refrain from doing what would put him in spotlight for wrong reasons, an agency official reportedly said. 

"I will do something that will make you proud of me," Aryan Khan reportedly told the officials and social workers present.
