Shah Rukh Khan about his equation with family
Shah Rukh spoke about the misconceptions that it’s ‘lonely on top’, claiming he feels exactly the opposite because of his children, Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam Khan. He said, “You know you’re asked if it’s lonely at the top. I would just like to tell everyone here, those who are young and have kids, even those who are my age and have kids. You will never be lonely if you can make your children laugh, and those who don’t have children, if you can make your parents laugh, will never be lonely.”
He then revealed that no one at home takes him seriously at home when he tries to discipline them because he’s funny. He said, “Main itna funny hoon mere bacchon ke liye (My kids think I’m so funny), that even when I scold or try to discipline them…I also scolded Deepika while shooting Om Shanti Om. When I say something, like listen, you have to sleep by 10 o’clock or something. What do they do? Oh my god, S R K. So, I am a joke in my house.” Deepika couldn’t help but laugh at him pointing out how young she was in her debut film directed by Farah Khan.
