Bengaluru’s nightlife witnessed an unexpected moment of frenzy over the weekend when Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, made a rare public appearance in the city. Known for staying away from cameras and focusing on his work, Aryan’s sudden arrival instantly caught the attention of fans, party-goers and film circles in the city.

Aryan landed in Bengaluru late at night, travelling directly from Mumbai, and the reception he received resembled the star-like treatment usually reserved for his father. He entered one of Bengaluru’s prominent and high-profile nightspots at 11 PM, staying until around 12:45 AM, where the energy inside the venue shifted the moment he stepped in.
