Watch: Aryan Khan Mobbed At Raghav Juyal's Birthday Party, Pauses To Help Fan Amid Chaos
Aryan Khan's calm response after a fan fell during a chaotic paparazzi swarm at Raghav Juyal's birthday party has gone viral, with the internet slamming the crowd.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son, director Aryan Khan, found himself at the centre of extreme paparazzi and fan chaos while attending actor-dancer Raghav Juyal's birthday party on Thursday night. What was supposed to be a celebratory reunion quickly turned into a stressful ordeal, with multiple videos from the venue going viral and sparking intense outrage over public behaviour. Keeping a low profile, Aryan arrived dressed in a casual all-black ensemble featuring a jacket layered over a T-shirt and jeans.

Despite his understated look, his presence immediately drew massive crowds. The situation escalated when the young director was leaving the building to head to his car. In a viral clip, Aryan was seen trying to navigate through a massive crowd of eager fans and photographers. Amid the intense shoving for selfies, a man seemingly lost his balance and fell right at Aryan's feet.
Showing concern, Aryan Khan stopped to pick his fan up and was heard instructing his security detail, "Araam se". His bodyguards quickly stepped in to protect him and clear the path, but the star kid was visibly upset and annoyed by the commotion, particularly the blinding amount of camera flashes directed at his eyes as he struggled to walk to his vehicle.

The claustrophobia of the night did not end there. Another circulating video captured a concerning moment inside an overcrowded elevator. Pinned to one end of the packed lift, Aryan was seen briefly crouching down, seemingly to avoid being jostled and pushed by the people crammed into the small space.
The viral footage left the internet fuming, with many calling out the mob's lack of basic civic sense. One user wrote, "Poor guy… this is what you have to deal with just to get home." Another added, "Let the guy breathe. Now people know why some celebrities need security." Others chimed in with comments like, "People so rude. Pushing and shoving," "Why do these ppl behave like this and don't let them breathe. It's so annoying," and "Omg people are crazy, he is just normal human being."
Aryan Khan wasn't the only one caught in the frenzy. Birthday boy Raghav Juyal and actress Shehnaaz Gill also faced a swarming crowd of fans and paparazzi as they tried to get inside their vehicle. The rumoured couple was spotted leaving the venue together, with Raghav helping Shehnaaz navigate the mob before getting into the same car. Dating rumours about the duo have been swirling since they shared the screen in Salman Khan's 2023 film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, though they have consistently maintained that they are just close friends.
Aryan and Raghav share a close professional bond stemming from ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’, which marked Aryan's grand directorial debut on Netflix nearly a year ago. The hit series, a sharp satire taking digs at nepotism and power struggles within the film industry, earned significant praise from both critics and audiences for its direction and humour.
The show starred Lakshya and Sahher Bambba in lead roles, supported by Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, and Raghav Juyal in key roles. It also boasted starry cameos from heavyweights like Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Emraan Hashmi, SS Rajamouli, Arshad Warsi, and Karan Johar.
Reflecting on the series, Aryan Khan previously told Variety India: “What is interesting about the show is – in Bollywood, there's many truths, many lies, that kind of are disguised.. and vice versa, and it's just the novelty of the mystery or the wonder that entices audiences to watch. People will be fascinated by it, be annoyed by it, be whatever they want because of the largeness and the mystery and the wonder.”
Following the success of his debut series, which earned him his first-ever award as a director, Aryan Khan is reportedly set to direct his first feature film soon.
