The 27-year-old daughter of a prominent actor found herself caught in the NCB’s crosshairs during the investigation into the tragic demise of Sushant Singh Rajput.

2. Sanjay Dutt
A well-known actor in Bollywood, Sanjay Dutt has been remarkably candid about his past struggles with drug addiction. Unlike most celebrities who prefer to keep such matters private, Dutt openly acknowledged his phase of drug dependency. His confessions were not limited to interviews but also manifested on the silver screen in the biopic film “Sanju,” portrayed by the talented actor Ranbir Kapoor.
Even before his involvement in the 1993 bomb blast case, Dutt had already served a five-month prison term in 1982 for possessing illicit substances. His journey serves as a stark reminder of the challenges individuals face when battling addiction.

Following a month in custody, he was granted bail. The NCB charge sheet, filed on March 27, 2022, ultimately absolved him of guilt in the drug cruise case. Finally, on May 27, 2022, Aryan Khan received a clean chit, officially clearing his name from the controversial drug-related accusations.
