Siddhanth Kapoor, son of veteran actor Shakti Kapoor and brother of Shraddha Kapoor, has been detained at the Ulsoor police station by the Bengaluru police on the night of June 12 after he tested positive for drugs at a rave party. Now, his father Shakti has expressed his views on the controversial issue.
Speaking to HT City, Shakti has said, “I’m in Mumbai and I don’t know what is happening. I got to know from news channels only. All I know as of now is that there is no arrest and Siddhanth has only been detained." The actor even added that this piece of shocking news cannot be true.
"Yes, he is a DJ (disco jockey) and he plays at parties, and that’s what he was in Bengaluru for. I don’t know where are all these reports coming from. I will talk to my son very soon and know the details. But I know this can’t be true", the actor added when he was asked if his son Siddhanth was in Bengaluru for work.
