During a recent #AskMeAnything session on X (formerly known as Twitter), Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) responded to a fan's question about his son Aryan Khan's potential acting debut. With his characteristic wit, SRK hinted that Aryan won't be stepping in front of the camera anytime soon, playfully citing competition within the family as a reason.
The fan's question was direct: "When are you planning to launch Aryan Khan as a hero? I'd love to see him in a superhero role". SRK's reply was equally straightforward, albeit laced with humor: "Give him love as a Director in Bads of Bollywood when u watch it. Abhi ghar mein competition nahi chahiye…." This response suggests that Aryan is currently focused on his directorial debut with the series *Bads of Bollywood*, and SRK is keen for audiences to support his son in this role.
Ba*ds of Bollywood is a project backed by Gauri Khan under their production banner, Red Chillies Entertainment. Bonnie Jain and Akshat Verma are serving as executive producers. Even before its release, the series has garnered significant attention within and outside the film industry. Actor Anil Kapoor lauded Aryan's directorial skills, drawing comparisons to the legendary Manmohan Desai. Kapoor wrote on social media, "With the Dyavol in the Director's chair, #TheBadsofBollywood is a sureshot blockbuster. Aryan you remind me of a young Manmohan Desai...Congratulations to you, to @iamsrk and the entire family for such a kickass debut”. SRK himself has described the show as "endearing and funny," encouraging fans to watch it. He also acknowledged Gauri Khan's pride in her son's creative endeavor.
While Aryan seems to be carving his path behind the camera, SRK's daughter, Suhana Khan, is preparing to make her mark as an actress. She is set to star alongside her father in the upcoming film King, marking their first on-screen collaboration. Suhana's previous acting experience includes a short film called The Grey Part of Blue and a role in the Netflix film The Archies.
SRK has always emphasized that his children have the freedom to choose their own careers. He aims to share his experiences with them without imposing his own dreams. He and his wife, Gauri Khan, have been married for over 30 years and have three children: Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam. SRK has often spoken about the importance of family, especially since losing his parents early in life.
SRK's journey in Bollywood began with television serials like Fauji and Circus. He married Gauri in 1991 and moved to Mumbai to pursue his Bollywood career. He has achieved global recognition for his acting and is known for his unique style and iconic poses. In addition to acting, SRK co-owns the film production house Red Chillies Entertainment with Gauri Khan and is a co-owner of the Indian Premier League cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders.
