Karan Oberoi Has Advice For Aryan Khan
Actor-Musician Karan Oberoi Who Spent A Month In Prison Before Getting Bail On Sexual harassment Charges Has Advice For Aryan Khan
Karan Oberoi has been through the ordeal that Aryan Khan has just experienced.
Karan Oberoi’s heart reaches out to Aryan. “It’s going to take time for him to heal. He must take one day at a time.His family should not ask him questions on what it was like to be in prison. Let him speak when he’s ready to speak. He will come around when he is ready.”
Karan Oberoi who spent a month in prison in 2019 would like to Kartik’s family to be patient. “The family should be ready for Kartik’s trauma to spill over. He will have meltdowns, he will cry …That’s exactly how it happened with me. I used to break down for no reason. I would cry at the drop of a hat. I had sleep deprivation issues. I couldn’t eat properly.”
Karan Oberoi recalls the lack of basic amenities in prison. “There were people crammed sleeping one on top of another, almost. There is no way you can go to the potty, it’s so filthy. Aryan comes from an affluent background. That makes the prison experience inconceivably difficult. For Aryan , re-adjustment will be very difficult.”
The first few days will be hell for Aryan, says Karan Oberoi. “You will be back in the comfort of your home. But in your mind you are still in that rot hole”
Sleep,says Oberoi, will be the first thing to be impacted. “Aryan’s sleep cycle must stabilize before anything. I also feel that he may need therapy. He must ask for it if he needs it. He must try and communicate with people around and close to him. But there must be no chatter about prison life around him until he initiates it. He should be comforted. Good food will help. Let him speak Don’t ask.”
Karan Oberoi lashes out at Aryan’s incarceration. “I think it is a human tragedy to have that young boy being subjected to life in jail.I’ve spent time in prison and written a book on the conditions in jail. They are subhuman, inhuman. No human being should be ever EVER be subjected to that life. It is not only physically damaging, it’s also psychologically scarring.”
It’s not only Aryan who was in that prison cell , it was also his parents.“ Having gone through the experience I know what a horrible horrible toll it takes on the family. I mean the person in prison suffers unimaginably. But his family outside suffers untold miseries.”
