Arbaaz’s father, Aslam Merchant, a lawyer by the profession, spoke with Etime exclusively, and talked about the emotional upheaval experienced by his family, including nervous damage in his son’s prison.
Merchant met his son for the first time recently, after Arbaaz was sent to prison.
Talking about his first meeting with his son, Merchant said, “I met my child at all hearings, but my wife had not seen it for almost 20 days.
It was a very emotional moment for us and she cried inconsistent.
But, see the irony , I have to stop it and tell him not to waste a little time we get with Arbaaz in crying.
We were there to talk.
When he saw us Arbaaz said, ‘Look where I have landed? “He told me that he was Located in the general barracks and stored with six-seven prisoners.
I really don’t know the background like what the prisoner came from.
Arbaaz told me that he got an anxiety attack and could not sleep at all “.
Merchant also revealed that it hurt him to see his son on the other side of the prison fence, a place where he usually saw his client, other inmates, before representing them in court.
He said, “My son is alone, maybe that’s why he gets this anxiety attack.
They have separated the two friends – Aryan has been stored in a separate cell, while Arbaaz is in the other.
He gets food like other prisoners.
Every time he meets me for a while Court hearings, the first thing he wants to know is about developments in this case.

He and Arya are good friends and they also have their many thoughts and worries .
And Arya share with Arbaaz, that he was surprised that this episode has been going on for it.
the two boys were expecting that this will be resolved more quickly.
they were both surprised at how much time is taken to guarantee them.
personally, I feel , at least Aryan had hopes that his father was Shah Rukh Khan, a very popular and influential figure.
But both Arbaaz and his father had such influence.
We were just ordinary people without connection.
I thought Arbaz was not lucky, he was in the wrong place at the time wrong.
it’s just a destiny I guess.
But I’m happy, how he was trapped by Sahabatn Yes Aryan.
He is a loyal friend, I called him Yaaron Kaar.

He said, “He after all the parents and it is very much needed.
It is a positive step in the right direction.
Shah Rukh’s movement has touched the hearts of people.”
He also revealed that during his meeting with Arbaaz, officers at Arthur Road Jail convinced him that they would take care of his son.
He added, “Very pleasant what they said, but in the end, Arbaaz was still a bandy (detention) and someone could not do anything.
But feeling helpless.”
