The anticipatory bail application had been filed by Aparna Purohit in the case registered under Sections- 153(A)(1)(b), 295-A, 505(1)(b) 505(2) IPC, Section 66 and 67 of the Information Technology Act and Section 3(1)(r) of SC/ST Act.

In an interview with Elle India, Khan spoke about the privilege of taking paternity leave on account of being an actor.
“Who wants to work when you have a newborn at home! If you don’t see your children growing up, you’re making a mistake. And I can take time off from work it’s a privileged position. Rather than follow a 9-to-5 routine, I live like an actor,” Khan said in the interview, while revealing that he has done the same in the past even when his daughter and actress Sara Ali Khan was born.
