Some believe it's a smart move to avoid media scrutiny, which 'nepo kids'¡ªchildren of stars¡ªoften face. "Not promoting means no chance of saying something stupid, especially about nepotism," one user noted.

Others think it's part of a carefully crafted image, with one saying, "His team has worked hard to build that mysterious vibe."

However, some argue it's pure privilege: "A regular debut director wouldn't get this luxury," a comment read.

Yet others believed Aryan Khan's decision to skip promotions is linked it to his past NCB case. "Media would be more interested in questioning him about the drug case than his series," one user pointed out.

In October 2021, Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, was arrested by the NCB during a raid on a cruise ship near Mumbai.

He was accused of drug possession, consumption, and sale. After 25 days in custody, he was granted bail.

In May 2022, the NCB dropped all charges due to lack of evidence.

Later, the officer leading the case, Sameer Wankhede, faced allegations of corruption and extortion.
