Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, is making waves on social media after sharing photos from a promotional shoot on Instagram.

Aryan’s viral post comes after almost a year-long hiatus from social media, following his arrest last year in connection to a drug raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai, India.

The Bollywood heir, now 24, has since been cleared of the charges, and is back on social media – sharing another picture last month with his siblings that amassed more than a million likes.

Shah Rukh also joined in on the viral internet moment with his son, leaving a comment under his son’s new post: “Looking really good!!…and as they say, that whatever is silent in the father …. speaks in the son. By the way is that grey t-shirt mine!!!”

Aryan fired back, “your genes and t-shirt haha”. The post garnered almost 500,000 likes in less than a day.

Several other Bollywood celebs and Instagram users also commented.

“For a moment I just thought he is srk,” said one commenter, remarking at the similarities between father – often referred to as SRK – and son. “U are back! So happy to see you like this,” said another.
